"...And never give up hope of Allah's soothing Mercy: Truly no one despairs of Allah's soothing Mercy except those who have no faith." (12:87)
 
Whenever a tradition of the Holy Prophet is related to you, scrutinize it, do not be satisfied with mere verbatim repetition of the same because there are many people who repeat the words containing knowledge but only few ponder over them and try to fully grasp the meaning they convey. - Ali ibn Abu Talib
 
`Aishah related that the Prophet used to regularly say,

“O changer of hearts! Make our hearts firm in Thy faith." He was asked, O Messenger of Allah! Do you fear (that we may convert)? He said, people’s hearts are between two fingers of Allah’s who changes it whenever He likes.”

(Ibn Majah, AI-Hakim, At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban)
 
More or less taken straight from the book "La Tahzan"-'Don't be sad.' Superb book.

The words 'isolation' and 'seclusion' have a special meaning in our religion: to stay away from evil and its perpetrators, and to keep those who are foolish at a distance. When you seclude yourself from evil in this manner, you will have an opportunity to reflect, to think, to graze in the meadows of enlightenment.

When you isolate yourself from things that divert you from Allah's obedience, you are giving yourself a dose of medicine, one that doctors of the heart have found to be a most potent cure. When you seclude yourself from evil and idleness, your brain is stimulated into action. The results are increases in faith, repentance, and remembrance of Allah, the Most Merciful.
 
Sufyaan Ibn Uyaiynah (Rahimahullah) said:
"A scholar is not one who knows the good from the evil, rather the scholar is the one who knows the good so follows it, and knows the evil so (he) abstains from it."



- Kitab az-Zuhud
of Imaam Ahmad p. 246
 
Ahmad ibn Yunus al-Yarbu’i said:

“Fudha’la Ibn Ubaid advised us saying: “If you can learn and not be known, do that; if you can listen and not talk, do that; and if you can sit and acquire knowledge from others, do that.’”


– Adh-Dhahabi “Siyar a’laam an-Nubalaa’”: 3/116

I love that. JazakAllahu Khairan for sharing.
 
Abû Al-Dardâ’ – Allah be pleased with him – said:

It is from a person’s knowledge and understanding that he sees to his needs first in order to turn to his prayer with a heart free of distractions.

Ibn Al-Mubârak in Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqâ’iq Vol.2 p726
 
This whole religion revolves around knowing the truth and acting by it, and action must be accompanied by patience. - Ibn Taymiyya

.......This reminds me of Surat-Al-Asr. :)

Perpetually is the servant either the recipient of a blessing from Allah, in which case he is need of gratitude; or he is the perpetrator of a sin, in which case he is in need of repentance; he is always moving from one blessing to another and is always in need of repentance." - Ibn Taymiyya

‘Alee ibn al-Hasan ibn Shaqeeq said: I heard ‘Abdullaah ibn al-Mubaarak say:

The first step towards (seeking) knowledge is the (sincerity of) intention, then it is listening, then it is understanding (this knowledge), then it is memorising (this knowledge), then it is acting (upon this knowledge), then it is spreading (this knowledge).

from Jaami’ Bayaan al-’Ilm wa Fadhlihi - Volume 1, Page 118

If your intention in seeking knowledge is between God Most High and yourself and not merely to gain information, then rejoice! The Angels will spread out their wings for you while you walk, and the creatures in the sea will ask God to pardon you.

People always think that the most painful thing is losing the one you love in your life.
The truth is the most painful thing is losing your self in the process of loving someone too much forgetting that you're special too.
 
“Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.” - Lao Tzu
