Yasir Qadhi

“Anger and jealousy are of the two most harmful traits we can have.

Both lead to actions that we later regret: the only difference is that anger leads us to act in hot-blooded haste, while jealousy spurs us on in calculated coldness.

May Allah protect us from both of these evils!

Yasir Qadhi

“Sometimes, a young man comes to me and quotes for me a hadith narration that I had heard before his mother gave birth to him. Yet I remain silent and listen, out of respect for the Prophet ﷺ.

Imam ash-Shafi`i

“It is strange that a person may find it easy to protect himself from: eating Haraam, oppression and injustice, adultery, theft, drinking khamr (alcoholic drinks), and from unlawful looking, but it is hard for him to restrain the movement of his tongue. How often do we see people who are very cautious about falling into shameful deeds or injustice, but their tongue lashes against the living and the dead and they don’t mind it?

Ibn Taymiyyah

“I advise you to fear Allah and to obey Him (have taqwa) and I advise you to adhere to the Quran, for it is a light in the dark night and a guidance during the day, so implement it no matter how much struggle and poverty you have to face. If a calamity befalls you, put your wealth forward to protect your religion, and if the calamity continues, put forward your wealth and your life to save your religion [but never risk your religion], for the ruined is he whose religion is ruined, and the looted is he whose religion is taken. And know that there is no poverty after Paradise, and no riches after the Fire.

Jundub ibn Abdullah al-Bajali

“Sometimes, I have a certain need (that I wish to ask) Allâh, so I ask Him earnestly. Then, I find that the door of dialogue opens up for me, and I recognize Allâh more (I become more aware of Him), and feel humbled before Him, and feel a great sense of joy and happiness, due to which I prefer that the answer to my prayer be delayed, so that this joyous state may continue.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“Sit with those who constantly repent, for they have the softest hearts.

Umar ibn al-Khattab

“Ibn ’Abbaas and Ibn ’Umar, from the major Companions, explained the verse {except that which appears therefrom} to be the face and the two hands. And they (those who claim that a woman must veil her face) do not have a single authentic narration from the Companions with which they can support their opinion that a woman’s face must be covered.

Imam al-Albani

“O you who sold yourself for the sake of something that will cause you suffering and pain, and which will also lose its beauty, you sold the most precious item for the cheapest price, as if you neither knew the value of the goods nor the meanness of the prize. Wait until you come on the Day of Mutual Loss and Gain and you will discover the injustice of this contract.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“A much neglected Prophetic Sunna [tradition] is to make others feel important and appreciated—behaving and dealing with such love, care and concern that they begin to feel they are one of the dearest people to you.

Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari

“Worship and obedience illuminate the heart and make it strong and steadfast, until it becomes like a clear mirror, shining with light. When Shaytaan (Satan) draws close, he is struck by its light like those who try to eavesdrop [in the heavens] are struck by the shooting stars, and Shaytaan flees from this heart with more terror than a wolf fleeing from a lion.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“Do not let this trial go to waste by you dwelling over it, but overcome it by getting closer to Allah by learning His deen and worshiping him.
