“By the amount that you yourself benefit from the knowledge you have will others benefit by your knowledge.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“Whoever is watchful toward God’s boundaries will be under His watchful care and protection.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“Is there anyone who has achieved closeness to God and not found that with Him is everything that they need and desire?

Ibn al-Jawzi

“No one has attained [spiritual] success except by going against their ego’s desires, and no one has suffered [spiritual] failure except by preferring the worldly life over the afterlife.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“It is from arrogance to commit a minor sin, see something good happen in your life, and neglect repentance thinking that your minor sins are automatically forgiven.

Abu Ali al-Rudhbari

“When the servant sins, God will prohibit him from carrying out qiyam [spending part or all of the night in worship].

Bishr al-Hafi

“No one worships God by something more beloved to Him than the abandoning of sins.

Muhammad bin Ka`b

“No servant disobeys God except that God, glory to Him, will cause him some form of humiliation and disgrace.

al-Hasan al-Basri

“The best good deeds are those that one has to force the ego to perform.

Umar ibn Abdul Aziz

“Whoever attains dominion over his ego’s desires in his youth, God will grant him dominion in his old age, as happened to Yusuf, peace be upon him.

Abu Ali al-Nisaburi

“O one whose hopes are in the worldly life, your life has been wasted.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“Do not befriend one who knowingly rebels against God, for one who betrays his first Giver of blessings is not going to be loyal toward you.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“By the amount that you honor God, glory to Him, He will honor you, and by the amount that you magnify His greatness in your esteem and increase your respect for Him, He will magnify your status and the respect you receive.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“I reflected upon the envy that exists among the scholars, and saw that its source is the love of the worldly life, because the scholars of the afterlife engage in love and do not envy others. What separates the two groups is that the scholars of the worldly life seek power and leadership in it, and they love to accumulate wealth and praise, while the scholars of the afterlife live in seclusion from these things, they fear them and have mercy toward those who are being tested by them.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“I continued to drive my ego toward God, glory to Him, while it continued to cry out [out of unwillingness], until a time came when I would drive it toward God and it would laugh with joy.

Bayazid Bastami

“[The one who follows the Quran and the Sunnah] will not live a life of suffering. This is illustrated by His saying, glory to Him: “Whosoever fears God, God will create for him a way out.” [The Quran, verse 65:2] If you see them suffer, then surely there is for them in recompense that which will turn any bitter drink into honey.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“Never busy yourself completely with worship, abandoning the seeking of knowledge.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“When true fear of God is realized in your heart, all good things will come to you.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“I never tire of reading books. If I see a book I have not seen before, it is as if I have found a treasure.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“The worldly life has been created as a place of testing. The wise person should fully habituate himself to patience.

Ibn al-Jawzi
