Jannah Thoughts

Shaykh Al Albani رحمه الله:

“Tightness in the chest, mood swings and depression, which weigh a man down and make him quick to complain about the slightest thing, these all are symptoms of weak faith.

A person easily gets upset with the people around him, and no longer has any tolerance. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم described faith when he said, ‘Īmān is patience and tolerance’”

‎“There isn’t anything more beloved to Allah, than for him to be asked.”

“For the tongue does not keep quiet at all. It is either a tongue that remembers or a tongue that is frivolous and it has to be one of these two.

It is the (nature of the) soul; if you do not preoccupy it with truth, it will occupy you with falsehood. It is the (nature of the) heart; if you do not accommodate it with love of Allaah, it will dwell with love of creation and this is a certain reality. It is the (nature of the) tongue; if you do not preoccupy it with remembrance, it will most definitely occupy you with frivolity.

Thus, choose for your own self one of the two courses and confer upon it one of the two standings.”

‎انتظار الفرج بالصبر عبادة،

‎فإن البلاء لا يدوم.

‎“Waiting (patiently) for relief (from grief or suffering) is ʿibādah; For indeed calamities do not last (forever).”

A man asked one of the Salaf: "How much Qur'an should we read?"

He replied: "Equivalent to the amount of happiness you are looking for."

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا

O Allah, grant my soul a sense of righteousness and purify it, for You are the best to purify it.

A man told Abū Ḥanifā to fear Allāh and he began shaking and became pale.

Then Abū Hanīfa said:

"May Allāh reward you! We need to be reminded of this!"

"If you want to know how strong your Imaan (faith) is then be keen on yourself in solitude (state of being alone); Imaan doesn't appear in praying or fasting but rather in fighting the inner self-desire…”

“The one who is truthful does not care about his status in the eyes of creation.”

“How can one feel the bite of loneliness when he is with Allah?”
