‎"The husband should patiently endure his wife's shortcomings, fear allah, treat his wife kindly and recognize her rights and fulfill his duties towards her."

Asking for forgiveness [from Allaah].

Remembering Allaah.

“The seeker of knowledge, if he does not posses good manners,

then his pursuit/quest for knowledge has no benefit in it.”

‎"The doctors agreed that the head of medicine is diet. And the wise men agreed that the head of wisdom is silence!"

‎"... If it was permissible to celebrate his birthday, the Prophet ﷺ would have expounded the matter to his Ummah as he was the best advisor and there is no prophet after him to explain what he ﷺ kept silent about. He ﷺ is the final Prophet and he explained to the people their duties towards him such as loving him and following his Shari'ah, invoking Allah (عز وجل) to send His peace and blessings upon him and his other rights that are explained in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. He did not tell his Ummah that celebrating the day of his birth was prescribed so that they would act accordingly. He ﷺ did not celebrate it during his lifetime nor did the Sahabah (رضي اللہ عنھم) who were the dearest people to him and the most knowledgeable of his rights, or the Rightly-Guided Caliphs or any other Companion.. ..."

Imam Shafi’i:

By not relying on anyone [except Allaah].

By wandering the countries [i.e. travelling].

By exercising patience the way a camel is patient.

By being [awake in the] early morning like a raven.

A private life, is a safe life.

But it’s difficult to kill the ego and desire, and not share half of our lives with half the world.

that a person can make.❞
