“I do not know of anyone who lived more exalted and enjoyable lives than the truly pious scholars.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“Whoever acts pious for the sake of the creation is in effect worshiping them, although he does not realize it.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“Showing enmity toward enemies is a show of weakness and fear. It is wiser to show kindness and courtesy toward enemies until this causes an end of their enmity, and if that does not happen, courtesy can be a cause for blocking any harm that may come from them, and among them will be those who will feel ashamed of the courtesy they are shown, and this will change their heart.

There were among the pious predecessors those who, when they heard someone had spoken of them in abusive terms, would send them presents.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“The [Seljuk] Sultan asked to be given the title of “King of Kings” and a number of Islamic scholars allowed it, but al-Mawardi forbad it, and it happened that he achieved a great status in the Sultan’s eyes.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“How few are those who purely dedicate their deeds to God, glory to Him! Most people like what is visible of their acts of worship. Sufyan al-Thawri used to say, “I have never relied on my visible good deeds [for my salvation in the hereafter].”

Ibn al-Jawzi

“I reflected upon myself and those of my extended family who spent their lives in acquiring wealth while I spent my childhood and youth seeking knowledge, and I saw that I have not been deprived of anything they have acquired.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“The ship of your lifetime is approaching the coast of the graveyard. What is the matter with you that you are busy inside the ship trying to acquire goods?

Ibn al-Jawzi

“O sinner! If you start to suffer punishment, do not make a clamor about it and say, “I have repented and regret my actions, so why is my punishment not going away?”, for perhaps your repentance has not come true yet.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“Mend what is between you and God in private, and He will mend for you your public matters. Do not be deceived by His covering of your sins, for perhaps He will eventually make them public, and do not be deceived by the respite He grants you, for perhaps His punishment may come at you suddenly when you do not expect it.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“When the servant disobeys God, glory to Him, in private, God will cause the believers to dislike him in ways he does not sense.

Abu ad-Darda al-Ansari

“There are those who venerate the creation, so that they do not respect their private time in the presence of God. By the amount that they engage in private sins, and by the degree of their sins, a bad scent spreads from them, so that [people's] hearts begin to dislike them.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“If you have the ability to pass all of the scholars and the ascetics by [in knowledge and virtue], then do so, for they were humans, and you are a human.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“The most beneficial people toward me have been those who acted by their knowledge, even if they were less knowledgeable than others.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“If pain encompasses a knower of God, he turns away from the apparent cause of it, and will not see other than its Sender. He is in the best of living with Him: When he is silent, he thinks of carrying out what is due to Him, when he speaks, he speaks that which pleases Him. His heart does not attach itself to a wife or child, and does not needily cling to the love of anyone. His body interacts with people, but his soul is with its Master.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“Glory to the Great King who is feared by anyone who knows Him, and Who, whenever someone feels secure from His ability to plan against him has not known Him. I thought about an important matter; that He, glory to Him, grants respite until it appears that He neglects, so that one sees the hands of doers of evil unrestrained as if there is nothing to stop them. When their evil deeds accumulate to a certain degree and they do not take heed, He fiercely seizes them and vanquishes them.

Ibn al-Jawzi

“I also advise you with five matters: when you are treated unjustly, do not behave unjustly; when you are praised, do not become happy; when you are criticized, do not become upset; when you are not believed, do not become angry; and if people act deceitfully towards you, do not act deceitfully towards them.

Ibn Abi Hatim

“O Friend, the cloth from which your burial shroud will be cut may have already reached the market and you remain unaware.

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

“The worst of our faults is our interest in other people’s faults.

Imam Ali bin Abi Talib

“Islam prohibits the burning of animals whether dead or alive what more of humans! ISIS does not represent Islam

Muhammad Al Yaqoubi
