“The greeting of peace (as-salamu ‘alaykum) has many meanings. One of these meanings is that the person you are greeting will be safe from you (from your tongue, your heart, and your hand) and that you will not transgress against that person with your words or your deeds. This greeting is also a prayer (for the person you are greeting) for peace, safety, mercy, and blessings. We should take these noble meanings, which we so often say with our tongues, and make them our way of life in our dealings with other people.

Salman al-Ouda

“He whose sin is due to desire, then have hope for him; and he whose sin is due to pride, then fear for him. Because Adam sinned due to desire, and he was forgiven; and Iblis sinned due to pride, and he was cursed.

Sufyan bin 'Uyainah

“Whoever acts on whims and desires and sin loses out and harms no one but himself. Whoever follows the sunnah and adheres to laws and follows the right path, seeking that which is with Allaah for those who obey Him, is doing the right thing and is a winner.

Umar ibn al-Khattab

“There is no relationship between God and anyone except through obedience to Him.

Umar ibn al-Khattab

“When one’s intention is sincere, Allaah (jalla wa ala) will suffice his needs, protect him, and guide him in his dealings with the people. However, if one adorns himself to please the people in this world, only Allaah knows what ends awaits him in the hereafter.

Umar ibn al-Khattab

“Marry a religious woman. She will neither abuse your right nor reveal your secret and she will take care of your property and your child in the best way.

Muhammad ibn Salih al-`Uthaymeen

“Don’t ever leave off praying nor allow what [bad deeds] you commit to prevent you from it, for indeed God answered the prayer of Satan, even though he is the most evil of creation [when he prayed ] “Grant me respite until the Day in which they will be resurrected.’ He said, ‘Indeed you are from those who are granted respite.’ (The Quran, verses 7:14-15)

Sufyan bin 'Uyainah

“The perfection of Tawheed is found when there remains nothing in the heart except Allah, the servant is left loving those He loves and What He loves, hating those He hates and what He hates, showing allegiance to those He has allegiance to, showing enmity towards those He shows enmity towards, ordering what He orders and prohibiting what He prohibits.

Ibn Taymiyyah

“Every single night our soul is taken, and every single night the Angel asks before bringing it back, “Ya Allah what about this one?” “Do You want to send it back?” Do You want to pull the plug or should we keep the Rûh (soul)?” And every night Allah gives permission to the Angel to let us live one more time.

Nouman Ali Khan

“Put your trust in Allah and not in anyone other than Him, because it is known that He alone is the Helper.

Abd ar-Rahman ibn Nasir as-Sa`di

“The heart will rest and feel relief if it is settled with God, and it will worry and be anxious if it is settled with people.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“He created the seven seas, but He loved a tear from you (out of fear of Him) but your eyes were tearless

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“And the cure for this deadly illness (i.e. love before marriage) is for the person that is afflicted to realize that this love is only due to his/her own delusions and ignorance.

So upon such a person is to first and foremost strengthen their Tawheed and reliance upon Allaah, and secondly to increase in worship and busy themselves with it, so much so that they do not have any spare time letting their minds wander and think about their beloved.

And they should call upon Allaah to protect them and save them from this evil, just as Prophet Yusuf called upon Allaah and he was saved. And they should do as he did, be as he was, in terms of ikhlaas (sincerity) and remembering Allaah in abundance.

This is because if the heart is filled with ikhlaas for the sake of Allaah, there will be no space left for any unlawful love to be present, rather this only happens to a heart that is empty and has no ikhlaas whatsoever.

And let such people remind themselves that whatever Allaah has decreed for them is only in their own best interests, and when Allaah commands something it is never to cause harm or misery to His slaves.

And let them also remind themselves that their unlawful love does not benefit them, neither in this world or the hereafter! As for this world then they will be so preoccupied with their love that it will cripple them and will cause them to live in a fantasy world. And as for the hereafter then it will cause them to be preoccupied with the love of the creation instead of love for the Creator!

These people need to be reminded, that the one who is emerged in something will never see its ill effects, neither will the person who has never experienced such things. The only people who will be able to relate to them are those who have experienced the same thing but have been saved. Such people can look back and realize how evil it is.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“…They say that the best worship is to do what will please the Lord at every time in accordance with what that particular time calls for.

So, the best acts of worship during the time of Jihad is Jihad, even if this leads to abandoning certain rituals such as night prayer, fasting, etc. In fact, this applies even if you are to not pray a complete obligatory prayer as you would in times of safety and calm.

And the best thing to do when you have a guest, for example, is to see to his rights as a guest and to preoccupy yourself with that instead of the recommended rituals you would usually engage in at the time.

Such is also the case in fulfilling the rights of your wife and family.

The best thing to do during the early morning hours is to be preoccupied with prayer, Qur’an, supplication, remembrance of Allah, and asking His Forgiveness.

The best thing to do when teaching a student or ignorant person is to completely turn your attention towards teaching him.

The best thing to do during the call to prayer is to leave whatever rituals you are engaged in and to occupy yourself with repeating after the one making the call.

The best thing to do during the five prayers is to try your best in carrying them out in the best possible manner and to rush to perform them right away, and to go out to the mosque – even if it is far – is better.

The best thing to do when someone needs help physically or financially is to busy yourself with helping that person, relieving his distress, and to place this as a priority over your private worship that you’d usually be engaged in.

The best thing to do when reciting the Qur’an is to have your heart and mind present in order to reflect over and understand it as if Allah is personally addressing you with it. So, to have your heart present to understand and reflect over it and to have the zeal to implement its commands is greater than the attentiveness of the heart of one who has received a message from the ruler to that message.

The best thing to do when standing at ‘Arafah is to exert yourself in being humble before Allah, supplicating, and remembering Him instead of fasting.

The best thing to do during the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah is to increase in worship, especially saying ‘Allahu Akbar,’ ‘La ilaha illa Allah,’ and ‘al-hamdu lil-Lah.’ This is better here than the Jihad that is not an individual obligation.

The best thing to do during the last ten nights of Ramadan is to stay in the mosque and to seclude yourself in it without mixing with others and being distracted by them. This is to the point that it is better than teaching them and practicing the Qur’an with them according to many of the scholars.

The best thing to do when you have a brother who is sick or dying is to visit him, attend his funeral, and to prefer this over your private worship or social activities.

And the best thing to do when a disaster befalls you or people hurt you is to fulfill the obligation of having patience while continuing to interact with them and not running from them, since the believer who mixes with people and is patient despite their harm to him is better than the believer who doesn’t mix with them and isn’t harmed by them.

And the best thing you can interact with them in is whatever is good, and this is better than to seclude yourself from them in such a case. As for bad things, it is better to seclude yourself from them in such a case. However, if you know that mixing with them in this case will help remove or reduce the bad, it is better to mix with them than to abandon them.

So, the best thing to do in every time and situation is whatever will please Allah at that particular time and situation and to focus on the foremost obligation at that particular time and whatever it necessitates and requires…

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“If one does not spend one’s time for Allah’s sake, then it is better to die.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“Sincerity is not combined in the heart along with the love of being praised by the people, and being commended by them, and also having greed for what the people have, except like water being combined with fire.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“Spirituality is not to live your life on the margin, but to bring meaning to the center of your life.

Tariq Ramadan
