Wisdom of the Salaf (Quotes from Ibn Qayyim & Ibn Jawzi)

19 Feb, 14:56

Seeking the Hereafter will not be complete without asceticism in this worldly life, and asceticism during this worldly life will not be complete without two things:

One: recognizing the transitory, mortal, decaying, mean, and imperfect nature of this worldly life and thinking about the pain, which it causes. Whoever seeks this worldly life with all its pleasures, will suffer its pain and grief before gaining what he wished, for if he ever gains it he will suffer grief and sadness after its loosing it.

Two: knowing with certainty that the Hereafter is real and close at hand, and knowing that it is immortal, lasting, and that it contains pleasures and happiness, and that there is a huge difference between it and this worldly life. It is as Allah says,

وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

"Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting."

(87:17)

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“Courage opens the heart; thus, the courageous have the widest hearts while the cowards have the most constricted hearts.

They have no joy, no happiness, and no pleasure except like that of animals. As for the delight of the soul, then the cowards are devoid of this.

The condition in which the person will be in his grave will reflect the condition of his heart. It will either be bliss or punishment.”

14 Feb, 22:48

When Alläh intends good for his needy servant. He tests him with something that breaks him, which makes him humble, and reduces his self-importance.

If however He wishes for his servant other than that, He leaves him to his arrogance and self amazement, and this is the kind of abandoning that leads to his ruin.

Du’ā (Supplication):

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“And of the diseases that afflict du’ā and prevent its response is that a person is hasty in expecting a response, and the response is delayed, so he gives up hope, and leaves du’ā.

His example is like that of a person who planted a seed, or a seedling, then guarded it, and took care of it, and watered it, but when it delayed in (giving its fruit) and reaching perfection, he left it and did not take care of it anymore.”

"Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. Recognize and acknowledge Allah in times of ease and prosperity, and He will remember you in times of adversity. And know that what has passed you by [and you have failed to attain] was not going to befall you, and what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and hardship with ease."

Tawakkul is such a beautiful concept. Everything around you could literally collapse but if you trust that Allah will protect you, no harm can come to you. You take by the means and have faith. You trust in His planning, better than your own. You trust that He will guide you towards what is best, again and again.

“Look at the Hereafter as if you see if you see it with your own two eyes and ponder over the perfect Wisdom of Allāh in both abodes, and you will surely come to know without doubt that the worldly life is a plantation for the Hereafter and it is an introduction and an example, and that all levels of people in the Hereafter with regards to the joy or torment they will receive are determined through their levels in this worldly life as it relates to their faith, righteous actions or the opposite.

Anas ibn Mālik (رضي الله عنه):

كان المسلمون إذا دخل شعبان انكبّوا على المصاحف، فقرؤوها، وأخرجوا زكاة أموالهم تقويةً للضعيف والمسكين على صيام رمضان.

“When Sha‘bān began, the Muslims would devote themselves to the Muṣḥaf and recite it, and they would give out the Zakāh of their wealth to strengthen the weak and the needy for fasting in Ramaḍān.”

[Laṭā’if al-Ma‘ārif (1/135)]

The battle may be won, but a greater fight remains—the fight against poverty. Together, we can ensure that no one is left behind, that every person has the dignity of a decent life. This is our moment to rise as one, to lift those in need, and to build a future where prosperity is shared by all. Join us in making a real difference—because true victory is measured by the lives we uplift.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Indeed Allah, Most High said: 'O son of Adam!

Wisdom of the Salaf (Quotes from Ibn Qayyim & Ibn Jawzi)

28 Jan, 09:20

Maybe Allah is giving you an opportunity to turn to Him and to be amongst those closest to Him. Maybe you need to find your purpose in life and follow the path to true tawheed. Loneliness is normal and we all feel it from time to time, but understand this if you seek Allah you will find Him and you will find comfort that you are never truly alone because you have Allah to turn to. This dunya isn’t about fitting in amongst strangers or even your family. This dunya isn’t about finding joy in conversations. This dunya is about striving for the sake of Allah, worshipping Allah alone, and abandoning all that is displeasing to Allah. This dunya is about seeking guidance from Allah and asking Him to guide you to the straight path. You will find that once you are treading the path of true la ilaha illallah and striving to follow the Sunnah, you will become even more of a stranger amongst strangers. But don’t let that discourage you rather use that as a motivation to grow closer to Allah and learn to embrace being different.

Why is it so hard to get into Al- Jannah?

Hard?!

The Prophet Mohammad ﷺ said, 'Whoever prays the two cool prayers will enter Paradise.'" Fajr (dawn) and Asr (afternoon) prayers

He ﷺ also said, "Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times, Paradise(Al-Jannah) will say, 'Ya Allah, admit him into Paradise.' And whoever seeks protection from Hellfire three times, Hellfire will say, 'Ya Allah, protect him from Hellfire."

And He ﷺ said: "There is none of you who performs ablution (wudu) and does it well, then says: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger,' except that the eight gates of Paradise are opened for him, and he may enter through whichever one he wishes."

And He ﷺ also said "Whoever’s last words are 'There is no god but Allah' will enter Paradise."

And He ﷺ said "Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after every obligatory prayer will have nothing standing between him and entering Paradise except death."

And He ﷺ also said "Allah has ninety-nine names.Whoever enumerates them (knows and acts upon them) will enter Paradise."

22 Jan, 09:21

Some journeys in life are meant to be walked alone

No distractions, no expectations from people, just pure trust in Allāh تعالیٰ

There will be moments when no one understands your struggles, when no one stands by your side, and when the path feels uncertain. But these are the moments Allāh brings you closer to Him. He removes the noise of the world so you can hear the whispers of your heart calling out to Him.

It may feel lonely at times, but this solitude is not emptiness—it’s space for growth, reflection, and a deeper connection with Allāh. Every step taken with sincerity brings you closer to Him, and every hardship endured with patience strengthens your faith.

So, don’t fear walking alone. If Allāh is with you, you have everything you need. ♡

Allāh does not take a matyr from amongst our brothers nor does the hand of Death snatches away one of the sons of our lives - from those who accompany us on this path except that I cry frequently over my own self. Because those who went before us, (their martyrdom) is an evidence that we don’t deserve martyrdom yet, this is an evidence that we do not deserve this rank yet so Allāh chose them over us and 

all of them (shuhadah), from what I saw, share one attribute in common: a peaceful heart towards the believers, and a restrained tongue against the faithful. All of the martyrs, you will find that they do not speak harmful speech and they did not speak more than needed. Their deeds made them busy, their shortcomings made them busy from concerning themselves with the shortcomings of others. Tooba (glad tidings, a tree in Jannah) is for the one whose shortcomings cause himself be busy and keep him away from(becoming busy with) the shortcomings of the people. So turn to Allāh, purify your intentions, and perfect your inner thoughts so that you maybe taken by the Lord of the Earth and Heavens in the Paradise promised by Allāh, al Muqtadir.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“Which life is better than the life of a person whose worries have all united and become one concern directed towards attaining the pleasure of Allāh, gathered the scattered feelings of his heart through the devotion to Allāh, whose intentions and thoughts were once divided- each scattered in a different valley- are now focused on Allāh.

So the remembrance of the Most Beloved, the love to Him and the longing to meet Him and the comfort in being near to him becomes overwhelming for him. His concern, intentions and objectives and the feelings of his heart revolve around all this.”

شيئان إذا عملتَ بهما، أصبتَ بهما خير الدنيا والآخرة؛ تَحمَّلُ ما تَكره إذا أحبَّه الله، وتتركُ ما تُحب إذا كرهه الله عزَّ وجلَّ

Effectuate two things in your life and with them, you'll gain the positivities of this world and the next:

▸ Bear with whatever you detest if it's beloved to Allāh.

▸ Let go of what you love if it's detested by Allāh.

Wisdom of the Salaf (Quotes from Ibn Qayyim & Ibn Jawzi)

11 Jan, 05:44

Indeed the one who lives in the present should benefit himself from the lessons of history, for no one can ever be certain of his future. Every moment passes never to come back, and the depth of nights are yet to be restored while time is marching along for those who are alive at the moment. Therefore buy [the salvation of] your soul while the market is still open and its price is being offered, and pay no heed to the whispers that beguile you towards negligence and indifference, for indeed what may happen tomorrow can never be relied upon.

- Ibn jawzi رحمه الله

Wisdom of the Salaf (Quotes from Ibn Qayyim & Ibn Jawzi)

10 Jan, 17:26

Why does Allah not grant us victory? Because the most blatant idolatry and clear shirk are broadcast on "Islamic" state channels as if it’s nothing, a large portion of those who call themselves Muslims are even worse idolaters than the idolaters of Quraysh, and the world is filled with devilish "preachers" and "scholars" who claim that this is not idolatry.

■ Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah described a very similar situation when he spoke about the state of affairs as the Mongols invaded the Islamic world, in al-Istighathah (pp. 412-414):

❝When the enemy, who had stepped outside of Islamic law, approached Damascus, they went out and began seeking help from the dead at the graves where they hope that their suffering would be relieved. And some poets said, ‘O those who fear the Tatars (i.e., Mongols), seek refuge in the grave of Abu ‘Umar.’ Or they said, ‘Seek refuge at the grave of Abu ‘Umar, he will save you from suffering.’

❝In response, I said to them: these [dead] whom you are asking for help, if they were [alive and] with you in battle, they would be defeated, just as some Muslims were defeated at the Battle of Uhud, because it was preordained that the army would lose for certain reasons, and within that was Allah’s wisdom.

❝This is why those who were knowledgeable in the religion and insight did not fight that time (against the Tatars), because it was not a lawful struggle as commanded by Allah and His Messenger. That struggle would only have led to harm and corruption, and the desired help and victory [from Allah] would not have come, meaning there would be no reward in this world or the Hereafter for those who knew of this, although many fighters who believed it was a lawful struggle would still be rewarded according to their intentions.

❝Later, we began encouraging people to dedicate their religion sincerely and purely to Allah and to seek help only from Him, without seeking help from others, not from a close angel nor a sent prophet. As Allah said on the day of Badr: {When you asked help of your Lord, and He answered you,…} [Al-Anfal: 8:9] [...]

❝When the people corrected their affairs and sincerely asked salvation from their Lord alone, He granted them a powerful victory over their enemy, an unprecedented victory. The Tatars had never before been dealt such a defeat; through the pure establishment of Allah’s Tawhid and obedience to His Messenger, victory came in a way that had not been seen before.❞ End quote.

■ So long as these disbelievers openly promote their shirk and openly call for the worship of the Prophet ﷺ in a manner worse than the way the disbelievers of Quraysh worshipped their idols, and as long as there are "Islamic preachers" who downplay this with philosophical rhetoric and verbal gymnastics, don’t expect anything.

And to Allah we complain about the strangeness of pure Islam.

10 Jan, 06:18

Memories are the ruins of the past imprinted in our souls, and they - both sweet and bitter - generate sorrows.

We grieve over the sweet ones: why didn't they last?

And over the bitter ones: how did they pass?

The best way to benefit from them is through contemplation and remembrance, drawing lessons and learning from them.

Every Good Deed A Righteous Child Does, There Is A Share In that for his/her Father & Mother

A child is an extension of their parents’ legacy, and every righteous deed they perform continues to elevate the status of their parents with Allāh.

Reflect on this deeply:
Our prayers, acts of worship, and service to others are not just personal gains but gifts that transcend our individual lives, flowing back to those who gave us life.

A truly beneficial son or daughter is one who recognizes this profound connection and strives tirelessly to please Allāh, knowing their every act of goodness is a sadaqah jariyah for their parents.

What greater honour could we offer them than to be the reason they find shade under Allāh’s mercy?

Let us not waste the chance to be a source of goodness for them, for this is the ultimate expression of love and devotion.

The Overlooked Commandment: Dutifulness to Parents

In Islām, after worshiping Allāh alone, one of the greatest deeds is being dutiful to our parents. Caring for our parents isn’t just an act of kindness; it’s a form of worship that can lead directly to the pleasure of Allāh. The Prophet ﷺ said:

"The pleasure of the Lord is in the pleasure of the parent, and the displeasure of the Lord is in the displeasure of the parent." Sunan Tirmidhī

Sometimes, in our zeal to pursue acts of worship that are grand—seeking knowledge, activism, building organisations for Da'wah, fasting, or public charity—we overlook one of the simplest and most profound forms of worship: serving and honoring our parents.

How often do we pause to realise that caring for our parents when they are in need is like a door to Jannah wide open before us? So let us not neglect this command in the pursuit of other deeds especially when they are in need. Helping our parents is not only a duty; it’s a way to bring Allāh’s mercy into our own lives.

Their Love For Us is A Sign of Allāh’s Mercy in This World.

Action Plan:

Dear brothers and sisters,
❖ If your parents call upon you, respond to them with urgency.
❖ If they are in need, let nothing hold you back from supporting them.
❖ If they are old and frail, serve them with tenderness, as they once served you in your helplessness.
❖ If they are no longer with you, honor their memory with prayers, charity, and the fulfillment of their wishes.

O seeker of Allāh's mercy, never underestimate the weight of this responsibility. It is not a burden; it is a blessing. It is not a distraction from worship; it is worship itself. When you serve your parents, you are serving Allāh.

May Allāh grant us the ability to fulfill this noble duty with sincerity, love, and excellence. Amīn

Types of Patience

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

Patience is of two types: physical and psychological. Each type may also be optional or obligatory. Thus, we have four types of patience:

1) Optional physical patience such as doing hard labor willingly.

2) Obligatory physical patience, such as enduring the pain of beatings, illness, wounds or cold or hot weather.

3) Optional psychological patience, such as refraining from doing ill-conduct that contradicts sacred knowledge or reason.

4) Obligatory psychological patience, such as enduring the pain of separation from one's loved ones who are beyond his reach.

The obligatory types of patience can be applied to human beings and animals, whereas the optional types apply only to people. However, some people may only maintain patience for obligatory things, like animals, and forsake optional patience.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His Shade on the Day (of Resurrection) when there will be no shade except His. They are:

1. A just ruler.

2. A young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worships Allah Alone sincerely from his childhood).

3. A man whose heart is attached to the mosques (who offers the five compulsory congregational prayers in the mosques).

4. Two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's Cause only.

5. A man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah.

6. A person who practises charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity).

7. A person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes become flooded with tears."

"Know that the greatest of losses is for you to be preoccupied with one who will bring you nothing but a loss in your time with Allāh - the Mighty and Majestic - and being cut off from Him, a wasting your time with the person, a weakening of your energy, and the dispersing of your resolve.

So, if you are tested with this - and you must be tested with this - deal with him according to how Allah would wish, and be patient with him as much as possible. Get closer to Allah and His Pleasure by way of this person, and make your getting together with him something to benefit from, not something to incur a loss from.

Be with him as if you are a man who is on a road who was stopped by another man, who then asks you to take him on your journey. Make sure that you are the one who gives him a ride, and that he is not the one giving you the ride. If he refuses, and there is nothing to gain from travelling with him, do not stop for him, bid him farewell, and do not even turn back to look at him, as he is a highway robber, regardless of who he really is.

So, save your heart, be wary of how you spend your days and nights, and do not let the Sun set before you arrive at your destination."

Wisdom of the Salaf (Quotes from Ibn Qayyim & Ibn Jawzi)

06 Dec, 04:24

The virtue of sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ on Friday begins from sunset on the night of Jumuʿah (Thursday night) and finishes at sunset on the night of Saturday (Friday night). Moreover, sending ṣalāh upon him during the day of Friday is better than during its night (Thursday night).

تفضيل الصلاة على النبي ﷺ في الجمعة يبدأ من غروب الشمس ليلة الجمعة وينتهي بغروبها ليلة السبت، والصلاة عليه ﷺ في نهار الجمعة أفضل من ليلها



إنَّ اللهَ وملائكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ على النَّبي يا أَيُّها الذِّين آمَنوا صَلُّوا عَلَيهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيما ً

Don't forget to send Salutations on Prophet ﷺ

Allah the Almighty will do this for you:

Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said:  Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.

[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359

"Whoever puts his Tawakkul (trust and reliance) in Allah for his sustenance, he will become:
1. More courteous (and good-mannered)
2. Forbearing, (gentle, and patient)
3. Big-hearted in his spending
4. Less distracted by thoughts (and whispers) in his prayer."

- The renowned ascetic Abu Sulayman al-Dārāni (circa 190 AH)

«‌مَنْ ‌وَثِقَ ‌بِاللَّهِ ‌فِي ‌رِزْقِهِ زَادَ فِي حُسْنِ خُلُقِهِ، وَأَعْقَبَهُ الحِلْمَ، وَسخَتْ نَفْسُهُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ، وَقَلَّتْ وَسَاوِسُهُ فِي صَلاتِهِ»

Wisdom of the Salaf (Quotes from Ibn Qayyim & Ibn Jawzi)

20 Nov, 12:54

Academic achievements and trophies are framed and hung on designated walls in peoples homes, while the Mus’hafs are in the back of a drawer or shelf somewhere covered in a layer of thick dust.

Parents celebrate and display joy like madmen upon the worldly achievements of their children, but they don’t even notice when their children pass weeks without picking up their Mus’haf.

They never forgot to do their homework a day in their lives, but when someone inquires about the month that passed by where they never touched their Mus’haf, the excuse is “I forgot”.

The things that people consider valuable in their lives are always very obvious — and they will be even more obvious on Yawm Al-Qiyāmah.

وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَـٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ مَهْجُورًۭا

And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’ān as [a thing] abandoned."
[25:30]

Do you think yourself exempt from having the Messenger ﷺ testify against you for your neglect of Allāh’s Book?

If your “forget” about the Qur’ān often, be afraid of Allāh forgetting you.

Wisdom of the Salaf (Quotes from Ibn Qayyim & Ibn Jawzi)

20 Nov, 12:53

Met a very elderly villager recently (الله يجزاهم خير), who spoke in a dialect of my native language that I have trouble understanding. We attempted to converse with difficulty (due to my slow understanding of the dialect) here and there over the days we spent around each other. At one point, they asked me, “How much Qur’ān have you memorized thus far?” I hesitated, as I wanted to maintain the secrecy of the deed, and responded with a general truth.

“Probably somewhat more than [insert amount] Ajzā’.”

They responded, “Oh Masha’Allah.” And then, after a pause, continued saying, “You will have to lessen your sleep soon.”

“Sleep??” I inquired, confused at the sudden switch of topics. Perhaps I was misunderstanding again.

“Sleep!” they responded, as if it was obvious. “You know, once one becomes a Hāfidh, they can’t sleep a lot anymore, they have to sleep less at night because of the Qur’ān they know.” They were referring to Qiyām Al-Layl.

The answer struck me in the heart like a ton of bricks. I was shaken at the reminder. I spent hours awake that night thinking about their statement. They didn’t know my answer had been a deliberate understatement, nor were they anything near a Hāfidh or person of knowledge themselves, but they understood the responsibility of Hifdh better than me.

How can I sleep? How can I smile? How has the worldly life beguiled me so? If a human expects my worship to be increased merely due to what they think they know of my Hifdh, then what are the expectations of the One who surely knows the reality of the amount of my Hifdh of His Words?!

Perhaps I have failed the test and only gained the Qur’ān as a witness against me on Yawm Al-Qiyāmah! Allāh Allāh! What has become of my state!

Academic achievements and trophies are framed and hung on designated walls in peoples homes, while the Mus’hafs are in the back of a drawer or shelf somewhere covered in a layer of thick dust.

Parents celebrate and display joy like madmen upon the worldly achievements of their children, but they don’t even notice when their children pass weeks without picking up their Mus’haf.

If he exceeds this, he is cut off from his companions.”

15 Nov, 12:10

"𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 '𝗔𝘀𝗿."

Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet ﷺ said:

“Friday is comprised of twelve hours. There is one in which a Muslim who asks Allah for something will have it granted to him. Seek it in the last hour after `Asr.”

● (سنن أبي داود ١٠٤٨، سنن النسائ ١٠٣٢)
● [المستدرك على الصحيحين ١٠٣٢]

Prophet ﷺ said:

"There is such an hour on Friday, that if any Muslim makes Du’ā during it, his Du’ā will be accepted."

‎● {صحيح البخاري ٥٢٩٥، صحيح مسلم ٨٥٢}


Ibn al-Qayyim said: “The Hour of Response in it (i.e. Friday) is like the Night of Decree in Ramadaan.”

● [زاد المعاد ٣٩٨/١]


One of the righteous said,

“I did not ask Allāh for anything between ‘Asr and Maghrib on Friday except that my Lord responded to me up until I felt shy (to ask for more).”

‘When Tā’ūs b. Kaysān would finish performing the ‘Asr ṣalāh on Jumu’ah, he would face the qiblah and not speak to anyone until sunset.’

‘When Mufaḍḍal b. Fuḍālah would perform the ‘Asr ṣalāh on Jumu’ah, he would seclude himself in the corner of the Masjid and continuously supplicate until the sunset.'

Likewise Sa'ēd ibn Jubair would offer the ‘Asr prayer and avoid speaking to others until sunset (i.e. He would busy himself with supplicating)

Ways of Strengthening Patience

Knowledge:

“The element of knowledge is necessary in order to realise the benefits of following the commands of Allāh and the sense of happiness and fulfillment that one may attain by following them; and to understand what it is in the forbidden things that causes harm, imperfection and evil.

When a person realises that, and adds strong willpower, the desire for spiritual achievement and the wish to live as a complete human being (as opposed to an animal-like existence), then it will become easy for him to attain the quality of patience.

The bitterness of patience will become sweet and the pain of patience will become joy.”

And how many lessons have we learned from a man of religion who intends his acts for other than Allāh ta’ala!

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎“Wear the mantle of supplications to protect you from the evils of men and jinn, and cover your souls with asking for forgiveness to erase for you the sins of the night and the day, and if something you hate befalls you, you will be satisfied and certain that it is the best predestined for you by your Lord, because you have been protected by God.”

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-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“A person’s adab is a sign of his happiness and success. The lack of adab is a sign of his misery and ruin. The goodness of the dunyā and ākhirah is drawn by the likes of adab, and the deprivation of their goodness is drawn by the lack of adab.”

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-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Abandoning desires for the sake of Allāh will rescue the servant from the punishment of Allāh and will guarantee one to obtain His mercy. The precious qualities of Allāh, the treasure of piety, pleasure, longing for Him, joy and the happiness found in being close to Him will never happen to the heart that cares for anyone or anything besides Allāh - even if he was among the people of worship, piety, and knowledge.”

“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.”

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:

“O you who once had a bond with his Lord which he himself undid, O you who became perplexed regarding what he was ordained to do and stopped counting his bad deeds: weep for the days in which you were in contact with your Lord, for such days indeed warrant being cried over. Indeed, the remnants of the beloved engender in the heart nothing but sorrowful memories and concern.”

“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.”
