Ahmad ibn Harb stated:

“I worshipped Allaah for fifty years, I wasn’t able to find the sweetness of worship until I forsook three things: 1) I forsook seeking the acceptance of people, so I was able to speak the truth. 2) I forsook the companionship of the sinner, so I was able to accompany the righteous. 3) I forsook the sweetness of the life of this world, so I was able to find the sweetness of the afterlife.” 

[Adh-Dhahabee, Siyar]




Concerning the meaning of the Name Allah (الله) Shaykh Abdurrahman as Saadi said:

Allah

He is the One and Only Deity, the One Who is Worshipped and the One Who deserves to be worshipped by the whole of His creation due to the Perfect Godly Attributes that He is described with.

 "Allaah! There is none worthy of worship but He, the Living, the Sustaining. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He Knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world and in the Hereafter. They will not encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He Wills. His Footstool extends over the heavens and the earth and he feels no fatigue in guarding them. He is the Most High, the Most Great." (2:255)


Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab said:

“If I give a ruling or perform any deed and you know that I am wrong, it is obligatory upon you to clarify the truth to your Muslim brother.”

[Mu’allifaat, 7/240]


Aboo Hafs Al-Fallaas said:

“I said to Yahyaa Ibn Sa’eed during his sickness: ‘May Allaah give you well being,‘ so he answered: ‘Whatever is fondest to Allaah is fondest to me.‘ “

[As-Siyar, 9/182]


Al-Hasan Al-Basree said:

“Do not sit with a person of innovation, for indeed he will put a disease in your heart.”

[Al-I’tisaam of Ash-Shaatibee, 1/172]




Sufyaan Ath-Thawree said:

“The excellence of knowledge is due only to the fact that it causes a person to fear and obey Allaah, otherwise it is just like anything else.” 

[Related by ibn Rajab]


“No people introduce innovation into their religion but an equivalent amount of Sunnah will be taken away.” 

[Al-Laalkaa’i in Sharh Usool I’tiqaad Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah]


Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

"The speech of Allah and His Messenger is the truth and it is necessary to accept it, even if its meaning is not understood"

قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله :

كلام الله ورسوله ﷺ حق يجب قبوله وإن لم يفهم معناه .


Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله said: "Whoever loves this worldly life, will estimate its value, he will make himself a slave to it and it will humiliate him. And whoever neglects it, will notice his great value, it will humiliate itself for him."

‎● [الفوائد صحفة ١٦٠]


“Today’s Ummah is in great need of its youngsters who take pride in their religion and hold tight upon their belief.”

— Shaykh Khālid al-Rashīd فك الله اسره


Desires corrupt knowledge.

"Be sincere to Allah and truthful in your seeking knowledge. Accept the truth and beware of desires as they corrupt knowledge"

Shaykh Abdullah al Ghulayfi رحمه الله


Imām Adh-Dhahabi narrated: Sufyān Ath-Thawree said, "Beware of fame. Everyone I met warned me about fame."

[As-Siyār: 7/260]


"The scholar should not ask does Jihad need me, rather he is in need of Jihad rather than vice versa."

Shaykh Ibrahim Rubais, رحمه الله


Forward from: Shaykh Abdul Aziz At-Tarefe
Reflecting over the creations of Allah proves the greatness of Allah, for none creates anything magnificent except one who is more magnificent, and none creates anything great except one who is greater. Reflection is the light of intellects; it shows them the greatness of Allah in His signs.

التفكر بمخلوقات الله يدل على عظمة الله، فلا يخلق العظيمَ إلا الأعظم ولا يخلق الكبيرَ إلا الأكبر، التفكّر نور العقول يريها عظمة الله في آياته


Forward from: Tarbiyatul Islaam
"Whoever says that legislating besides Allah is Kufr duna Kufr and that it does not become Major Kufr except with the condition of believing that it is allowed and making it Halal, then this person is a Murjiah and a Jahmi"

Shaykh Abu Abdullah al Hashami حفظه الله


It is reported that Yaḥyā b. Abī Kathīr – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

It used to be said, “People have never honoured themselves with anything [better] than the obedience of Allāh, and they have never dishonoured themselves with anything [worse] than disobedience to Allāh.”

Ibn Abī Al-Dunyā, Muḥāsabatu Al-Nafs article 98.


Imam Al-Awzaa’i said:

“You must follow the footsteps of those who came before, even if the people reject you. Beware of personal opinions even if people make them attractive. The clear way is that of the Straight Path.”

[Al-Khateeb in Sharaf Ashaab al-Hadeeth]


Abdullaah ibn Daawood said:

“I have never lied except on one occasion. My father said to me: “Have you read to the teacher?” And I said: “Yes”…whereas I had not read to him.”

[Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa, 9/349]
