«لِيَكُنْ جَلِيسُكَ مَنْ يُزَهِّدُكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَيُرَغِّبُكَ فِي الآخِرَةِ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَمُجَالَسَةَ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي حَدِيثِ الدُّنْيَا؛ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُفْسِدُونَ عَلَيْكَ دِينَكَ وَقَلْبَكَ.»

“Let your companion be the one who makes you abstain from the world and increases your desire for the Hereafter. Beware of sitting with the people of the dunya who immerse themselves in worldly talk, for they corrupt your religion and your heart.”

"Learn the Arabic language, it will produce intellect and increase you in respectable behaviour."

“One of the most harmful things for a person is idleness and free time. The soul never stays empty—if you do not occupy it with what benefits it, it will occupy you with what harms you—inevitably.”

And if Allah, in His wisdom, closes one of His paths before you, He opens for you by His mercy another path more beneficial than it. The Lord, Glorified be He, never withholds from His believing servant anything of this world except that He grants him something better and more useful in return.

" مَن نفَّس عن مؤمنٍ كربةً من كرب الدنيا نفَّس الله عنه كربةً من كرب يوم القيامة، ومَن يسَّر على مُعسرٍ يسَّر الله عليه في الدنيا والآخرة والله في عون العبد ما كان العبدُ في عون أخيه "

The Prophet ﷺ said:

Monday: I slept without wudhu.

Tuesday: I laughed in a loud voice.

Wednesday: I prayed nightprayer fast.

Thursday: When we were playing and I scored a goal, I felt pride.

Friday: I didn’t recite 1000 salutations on the Prophet salallahu aleyhi wa sallam, and only reached 700.

Saturday: I forgot morning dhikr.

Imagine this is what he thought were sins. We are carrying on everyday with our sinful lives and do not give a second thought to these actions.
