Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“Fulfilling lusts hastily often causes one to miss out on virtue and to gain shamefulness. This is all caused by not contemplating the future outcome of things, which is what the mind and intellect demands. Contemplation is praiseworthy, while chasing lusts is condemned.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“All grief lies in the remembrance and longing of the days that have passed by and ended, when Adam (‘alayhi as-salām) had been close to his Lord; the tongue of his state says, woe to me, and the heart exclaims, relieve my longing!

How many distressing incidents did he post in secret that only the heart knows of the contents of which are ruefulness and conceal regret.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“Indeed, the weeping of Adam ('alayhi as-salām) for his exile from Paradise is incomparable to the weeping of any other.

His overwhelming deep sorrow and distress was not because of losing Paradise itself, but rather because of being distanced from the Lord of Paradise.”

Loneliness is Much Better than Being in the Company of Evil People.

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“In the olden times, if the heart of the seeker (murid) was darkened or inflicted with [spiritual] disease he would go visit some of the pious and righteous people to relinquish the darkness of his heart (qalb).

Today however, as the seeker enjoys an atom of sincerity he would run into the house of solitude (‘uzla) where he basks in the breeze from the spirit of safety (rūh al-‘āfiya) and enjoys a light (nūr) in his heart.

He becomes focused on his Hereafter and his affairs remain intact, but when he leaves seeking whoever is pointed at (as being righteous or knowledgeable), he finds them sitting with idle people and involved in their unintelligent path that brings no benefit in seeing such a person who finds it easy to waste time in trivial topics and in despicable ways.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“Know, may Allāh direct you to success, that a numb person can never sense a sting. It is only the one who holds himself accountable can recognize the difference when a change happens to him.

That being said, whenever you notice your life is being disturbed and changed, then recall a grace you have not thanked Allāh for or a sin you have previously committed.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“O youth, the essence of your soul lies in seeking knowledge, and the adornment of your soul is acting upon what you learnt.

Whoever does not act upon his knowledge will never recognise the value of what he possesses; he will be like a person carrying musk perfume but is unable to smell it because he has the flu.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

“A person should focus his efforts on the Hereafter, devote his heart for the remembrance of Allāh, Most High. Implementing His Orders and preparing to meet Him.

Hence, one should detach himself from all distractions and avoid being busy with other matters; however, as it is not possible to avoid all distractions, one should avoid and abstain from things that can be avoided.

I never found more distracting to the heart than two things:

The first is obeying one’s desirous self in all that it seeks, which is endless for it will ruin one’s life and Hereafter. As it is impossible for a person to acquire all what he wants then truly, what a distraction! Life goes away while a person only achieves some of that!

The second is socialising with people— the common in particular — and walking in markets because the innate nature of humans inclines towards desires and forgets about the fact that it will depart from this life. It enjoys not performing any acts of worship and prefers idleness, inadvertency and comfort.”

Ibn Al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

“If I may talk about myself, I never get enough of reading; when I see a book I have never seen before, it as if I have found a treasure. I have looked at the record of the endowed books in the schools of madhahib, which contained around six thousand volumes—from the record of Abū Hanīfah, Al-Humaydi; our own Shaikh ‘Abdu’l-Wahhab, Ibn Nāsir and Abū Muhammad Al-Khassab that were many—and any other book I can find.

If I said that I have read twenty thousand volumes, it would be less than the real number. I benefitted from them by following the lives of those people and the strength of their resolves (himma), their memorization, worship, and the wonders of their knowledge to a degree that cannot be realized by someone who does not read.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“Whoever knows the nobility and privilege of life and its value will not waste a second of it.

Thus the young should guard his merchandise [i.e. life],

the aged should restrain himself as much as he can,

the old should supply himself [with good deeds as he is soon expected] to join his people [i.e. those who have passed away before him],

and the decrepit should be cautious for his soul might be taken away from him in any minute.”
