“It is courageous to be fearful of God

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“If you fear Allah, no one will harm you, and if you fear other than Allah, no one will benefit you.

Al-Fudayl ibn Iyad (Al-Fozail ibn Iyaz)

“Many of us search for His signs hoping He will guide us, yet we remain lost. There may be moments when we witness His absolute infinite wealth of guidance (tawfiq) and blessings, still most of the time we persist in a world of emptiness and neediness. We search endlessly for His messages. But if God were to answer your call, would you know it? Would you heed His guidance? Is it possible that you are repeatedly shown signs, and dismiss them as simple coincidences?

Understanding His will and receiving His call requires closeness (taqwa). It requires a tearing of the veil between you and Him. It requires a love and intimacy so powerful and so consuming, that only the vessel of one’s heart can carry this one love. The great poet said:

“Gamble everything for love. If you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty. You set out to find God, but then you keep stopping for long periods at mean-spirited roadhouses. Don’t wait any longer. Dive in the ocean, leave and let the sea be you. Silent, absent, walking an empty road, all praise.” (Rumi)

Omar Ead

“The proof is in your actions, when nobody can see you except Allah.

Abdulbary Yahya

“Hope is good as long as it doesn’t become delusion. Fear is good as long as it doesn’t become despair.

Shaykh Omar Suleiman

“You will never be pious (a person of taqwa) until you become knowledgeable, and you will never be beautiful with your knowledge until you act [by it].

Abu ad-Darda al-Ansari

“One teardrop that falls from the eye of a believer out of love and fear for Him is better than this world and everything it contains.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

“But the more I fear the people, the more I become enslaved. True freedom only comes when I let go of the fear of anything and anyone other than God.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Whoever is prevented from disobeying Allah by upholding the Dignity of Allah in his heart, Allah will protect his dignity in the hearts of the creation and will prevent them from dishonoring him.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“A tear that runs down a believer's cheek is more beneficial than a thousand raindrops on the earth.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah
