Waleed Basyouni

Imam Ali bin Abi Talib

“The people who have knowledge of Allah have agreed that sins done in solitude are the root of retrogression (going back to a life of sin), and that good deeds done in hiding are the greatest causes of steadfastness.

“Just as the rooh (soul) gives life to the body, the Qur’an gives life to hearts and souls. With it, the heart lives to rectify its affairs of the dunya (this world) and deen (Islam). Whatever is in it is a source of great good and abundant knowledge.

Abd ar-Rahman ibn Nasir as-Sa`di

“What you think, if others were to somehow be able to hear it, should not be shameful.

Abdulbary Yahya

“Never underestimate the power of prayer! Constant prayer, with full conviction, without loss of hope no matter how prolonged it may be, really does create miracles! What seems “impossible” for us is simple for the Almighty. Many have already seen this in their lives! We are also taught to maintain closeness to the Almighty at times of ease & then during hardship He has promised to come to our aid. Let us not be from those who only worship when they are suffering or when their lives are chaotic.

Mufti Ismail Menk

“Look at a chaste poor man…nobody talks to him. People greet him so warily as if fearing that he may pass poverty to them. But see how the people welcome a rich man, even if he does not perform prayer. They stand up with smiling faces, and each one hopes to greet him first. Note the difference between a man who is so great as seen by God and another who does not even weigh a mosquito’s wing - but this is life.

Sufyan ath-Thawri

“Your speech will tell what is in your heart.

Imam Abdul-Qadir Gilani

Ibn al-Jawzi

Umar ibn Abdul Aziz

“The first Sunnah that the Muslims abandoned was coming early to Jumu'ah.

Imam az-Zarkashi

“Who says nothing is impossible. I’ve seen many people doing nothing for years.

Waleed Basyouni

“Some of the Salaf (righteous predecessors) said: The bounties of Allah have come to us in numbers we can't count, even though we disobey [Allah] often, and we don't know which one to thank Allah for: the beautiful things He sends, or the ugly things [that we do] that He hides.

Anonymous Author

“I borrowed a pen in Ash-Sham [The Levant]. When I came back to Marwu [Merv in Turkmenistan] I saw that I still had it, so I went back to return it.

Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak

“Sins are wounds, and maybe a wound that could lead to death, and a servant is not afflicted with a punishment greater than a hard hard, and the farthest hearts from Allah are hard hearts.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah
