Gems Beautiful Quotes, Proverbs, Sayings

"What a wonderful thing to know Him (i.e Allah)! But how can one know Him but not love Him? How can one hear the caller but fail to respond? How can one know the profit to be gained in dealing with Him but still prefer others? How can one taste the bitterness of disobeying Him but still abstain from seeking the pleasure of obeying Him? How can one feel the severity of engaging in trivial speech, but fail to open your heart to His remembrance? How can one be tortured by being attached to others but not rush toward the bliss of turning to Him in repentance? Perhaps it is most surprising to know that while you are in need of Him, you are still reluctant to move toward Him because you seek others" -Ibn Al-Qayyim

I LITERALLY LOVE all of Ibn al Qayim's quotes.
 
‘What is destined will reach you, even if it be underneath two mountains. What is not destined, will not reach you, even if it be between your two lips!’ — An Arabic proverb

Do you have the Arabic script for that?
 
Let the days do as they please. And be optimistic when destiny decrees. Do not despair due to the events of the nights past. For the events of this world were never meant to last.

Imam Al-Shafi-Rahimuhallah.

Beautiful! Where do you find these quotes?

"Whoever competes with you in your Deen [Religion], then compete with him, but whoever competes with you in your Dunya [Worldly Matters], then throw it to him"
-Imaam al-Hasan al-Basri
 
Those before you used to give
to their worldly affairs what
was left over from their pursuit
of the hereafter. But today you
give to the matters of the hereafter,
the leftovers from your pursuit of
worldly affairs. 'Awn ibn 'Abdillah.
Quoted by Abi Nu'aym in

Hilyat al `Awliya.


 
Tolerance is the highest degree of our strength and Desire to take revenge is the first sign of weakness

Very nice saying, masha'allah!

The fear of coming out of hiding, coming out of your closet, opening your mind and listening to other people's points of view which may be totally in conflict with your long-held beliefs.....

Yeah.... I'd definitely agree... "To conquer (that) fear is the beginning of wisdom." :statisfie

Truth is bitter. Learn to savor it.

Truth is bitter when you find that you were wrong. :)

Since bitter things can't be savored, they must then be swallowed. lol.
