"Repel the thought, for if you don't, it becomes an idea. So repel the idea, for if you don't it will become a desire. So fight against that (desire), for if you don't, it will become a determination. And if you don't repel that, it will become an action. And if you don't replace it with it's opposite, it will become a constant habit. So at that point, it will be difficult for you to change it."
Ibn Qayyim Al Jawzziyah
 
"Do your little bit of good
where you are;
its those little bits of good put together
that overwhelm the world."

Desmond Tutu

Imam Ibn Qayyim said, "For as long as the servant breathes, he requires Allāh's assistance, inwardly & outwardly. He is in complete poverty before Him."
 
"If you desire Allah to be persistent in granting you the thing you love, be persistent in doing the things He loves."
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal
 
"As you can taste a pot full of food with a spoon likewise someone's tongue can tell you about his heart."
Ibn Qayyim Al Jawzziah
 
"From the signs that Allah has turned away from His servant is that He makes him occupied with that which doesn't concern him."
Al Hassan Al Basree

Note: Subhan Allah, it is amazing how the great from among us thought, Ibn Qayyim has stated almost the same thing in one of the previous quotes of his that I posted in the previous page to this one.

"Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God."

Man is dillusional into thinking he can elevate himself to the planes of God when man cannot even re-create a fly nor has man found the cure to a common Cold. Mankind knoweth not the true power and magnificence of God for he is foolish enough to compare himself to the creator when he himself is a mere creation dependant and vulnerable and reliant on the mercy of God.

-Hamza Asadullah
 
I should have commented that only the first part of the Victor Hugo quote was true. Religions do narrow God to not just the limits of man but the flaws of man.
 
Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Rizq and ‘Ali bin Ahmad bin ‘Umaar al-Muqri both said: Ja’far bin Muhammad al-Khaldee informed us” Ibraaheem bin Nasr al-Mansoori narrated to us: Ibraaheem bin Bashaar narrated to me: Yusuuf bin Asbaat narrated to me: Muhammad bin Samurah as-Saa’ih wrote the following letter to me:

"O brother! Beware of letting procrastination take control of you and letting it take a firm root in your heart, for indeed it is the cause for fatigue and wasting (of time). Due to it, aspirations are cut short and appointed times are not met. If you allow this to happen you have let it free you from your resolutions, and in effect, take you over. And reclaim your body from the lethargy that overtook you. But when it returns back to you, your soul will not benefit from your body. And hasten, my brother, for indeed you are being hastened. And rush, for indeed you are being rushed. And be serious, for indeed, the matter is serious. Awaken from your sleep, and snap out of your heedlessness. And remember what you have left behind, what you fell short in, what you neglected, what crimes you committed and what deeds you did, for indeed that is recorded and you will be held accountable for it. So it is as if the matter has come upon you all of a sudden and so you are (either) happy at what you have put forth for it or remorseful for what you have neglected.''


- Iqtidhaa-ul-'Ilm al-'Amal of Khateeb al-Baghdaadee
 
Fudayl ibn Ayyad : As for hadeeth, it is better that a man does not hear it than that he hears it and does not act upon it.
 
A man once asked Ka'b,
"Which illness cannot be treated?" "Death", he replied.

The son of Zayd b. Aslam [d136H] said:
My father said, "There is one treatment for death: gaining the pleasure of Allah 'azza wa jall."

Ibn Abî Al-Dunyâ in Dhikr Al-Mawt no. 418
 
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."

-- Henry Ford

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. – Helen Keller.

You begin to achieve when you begin to believe.

Excellence is the result of striving each day to do better than the last.

There is no higher honor than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest deed.

The floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Comment: If our foundation is strong and built upon a rock, we can withstand anything.
