Eleven Great Quotes from Great Muslim Scholars

I have selected these great quotes out of many to serve as a boost to my reader’s faith and spiritual nourishment.

So, let’s get right down to it, right away:

 

“This whole religion revolves around knowing the truth and acting by it, and action must be accompanied by patience.”_Ibn Taymiyyah (RA)

 

“Imaan is of two halves; half is patience (Sabr) and half is being thankful (Shukr).”

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya (RA)

 

“When a hadeeth is found to be Saheeh, then that is my madhhab."

Abu Hanifa (RA)

 

“Perpetually is the servant either the recipient of a blessing from Allaah, in which case he is in need of gratitude; or he is the perpetrator of sin, in which case he is in need of repentance.

He is always moving from one blessing to another and is always is in need of repentance.”_Ibn Taymiyyah (RA)

 

“The ibtilaa' (testing) of the believer is like medicine for him. It cures him from illness. Had the illness remained it would destroy him or diminish his reward and level (in the hereafter).

The tests and the trials extract these illnesses from him and prepare him for the perfect reward and the highest of degrees (in the life to come).”_Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya  (RA)

 

“Do not vie with others in the accumulation of wealth. Vie with them in Ibadaah.”

Al-Shafi‘I (RA)

 

“Beautiful leaving (hajr), is to leave without harming, beautiful pardoning is to pardon without rebuking, and beautiful patience is to be patient without complaining.”_Ibn Taymiyyah (RA)

 

“The heart, in its journey to Allah, Majestic is He, is like that of a bird; Love is its head, and fear and hope are its two wings.

When the head and two wings are sound, the bird flies gracefully; if the head is severed, the bird dies; if the bird loses one of its wings, it then becomes a target for every hunter or predator.”

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya  (RA)

 

“Who are we to wish for Paradise? It will be enough if Allah spares us his wrath.”

Abu Hanifa (RA)

 

“We should know that Allah has created us to live an eternal life with no death, a life of pride and ease with no humiliation, a life of security with no fear, a life of richness with no poverty, a life of joy with no pain, a life of perfection with no flaws.

Allah is testing us in this world with a life that will end in death, a life of pride that is accompanied by humiliation and degradation, a life that is tainted by fear, where joy and ease are mixed with sorrow and pain.”

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya (RA)

“Blood is thicker than Water as Faith is thicker than Blood and the only thing that is thicker than Faith is Knowledge (Certainty).”_Ibn Abayomi (RA)

 

I hope you find them worthy!

Maintaining the Bond of Kinship

  “Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship?”_ [Quran 47: 22]   “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him maintain the bonds of kinship.”_(Bukhari)   Out of the Mercy of Allah (SWT), Muslims have been given some measure of freedom in certain aspects of life and worship. And at the same time, Allah (SWT) has made certain things obligatory. He who knows this distinction and acts according to it is a person of knowledge and faith. But for a lot of people, a challenge occurs when something is obligatory but is quite easy to dismiss its importance because it has less to do with rituals of worship like daily prayers, Zakat and fasting in Ramadan. What I am referring to here is an aspect of religion that relates to the bond of kinship. This is an important aspect of worship that many people don’t realize. In fact, it is so important that Allah (SWT) has made it very clear both in the Quran a...

Tie Your Camel and Put Your Trust in Allah (SWT)

    In an authentic hadith from Sunan al-Tirmidhi ̄, a man asked the Prophet an important question that clarifies how to rely on Allah (SWT) as the Almighty Lord Who has Power over all things. As we shall see, though we know and believe that we are powerless to bring benefit and ward away harm from anyone including ourselves, we are nonetheless required to do the necessary things within our ability based on Allah endowment on us as intelligent human beings. This is the right way to put our trust in Allah. Now let’s get into the proof from Sunnah. Anas ibn Malik reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, should I tie my camel and trust in Allah, or should I leave her untied and trust in Allah?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Tie her and trust in Allah.”   Therefore, whatever, the challenges we have before us, we need to do what is most humanly possible and place our reliance on Allah (SWT) for the desirable result that we envisi...

The Day of Judgement Is the Day of Justice

    Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Allah will gather the servants naked, uncircumcised, and destitute.”   We said, “What is destitute?” The Prophet said, “They will have nothing with them. A heavenly caller will announce with a voice from afar: I am the King. It is not befitting for anyone from the people of Paradise to enter Paradise while anyone from the people of Hellfire is seeking redress for injustice. It is not befitting for anyone from the people of Hellfire to enter Hellfire while anyone from the people of Paradise is seeking redress from injustice.” I said, “How is it so? We only come to Allah naked and destitute.” The Prophet said, “It is by their good and evil deeds.”   Source: al-Adab al-Mufrad 970    Graded: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani
