O you who has plenty of sins but weeps little. Weep over your lack of tears! They (the salaf) used to cry whilst they have Taqwa, and you are laughing with all those sins?!

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Sālih al-Uthaymīn [رحمه الله] said:

❝Know that possessing money, owning a fancy house, and having many children may not necessarily make you happy; however, being contented with whatever you have will make you happy, even if you are the poorest person.❞

Islam became a stranger, the sunnah a stranger and the people of sunnah strangers within their own homes

She said: ‘Because, happiness comes in waves. And so does sorrow. If you’re happy one day, you’ll be sad the other day. And if you’re sad one day, then you’ll be happy the other day. So instead, I ask Allah for peace. For peace settles the heart always.’ 

I never stopped thinking about those words, and I’ve never missed anything more than I miss peace. You don’t need to be happy to be at peace.  

Peace equals tranquility, and then sorrow won’t be as heavy as it is now.
