"Do not abandon du’a and do not let (the evil) that you know about yourself prevent you from du’a.

Indeed Allah answered Iblis whilst he is the evil of all creation."

بل بتدميرها

Three things can save a person: 

١. Fear of Allāh in private and in public.

٢. Fairness in happiness and in anger.

٣. Generosity in both poverty and in wealth.

And three things can destroy a person:

١. Desires that are followed.

٢. Greed that is obeyed.

٣. A person being amazed and pleased with themselves.

“The heart, in its journey to Allāh, 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.”

If he feared the fire of Jahannam the way he fears poverty, he would be saved from both.

If he desired Paradise the way he desires the Dunya, he would succeed in both.

نظرتُ إلى السماء؛

فهي لم ولن تتغيّر.

وأنظر إلى مخلوقاتِ الله،

وهي في حالةِ سلامٍ وتسليمٍ كاملٍ لأمره…

إلّا الإنسان.

Whenever the world leaves me in wonder,

I look to the sky

unchanged, and unchanging.

I look upon God’s creatures,

living in a state of peace and full surrender to His will

The clearest image of Venus ever taken !

Even if a person is cultured and refined, if there is no scar in their heart, they lack true allure. Because they cannot understand the pain of others
