The traveler gets sores on his feet from traveling in this world, while the traveler in the spiritual realm gets sores on his heart. [Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad (db) "Wisdom for the Seeker" ]
"Whenever one of us becomes increasingly religious his first priority becomes correcting other people. This similitude is that of a person with lethal cancer who is worried about some one else's common cold. One who himself is severly afflicted (with muhlekat-e-nafs) never cares about other's minor aliment. The problem is that we do not know our diseases as yet. Once we find out the deadly diagnosis all of these sermons for-others, hurting comments, slander and back-biting will disappear." [Hazrat Moulana Mohammad Taqi Usmani sahib db]
"Our liberation does not come from liberating our desires [as in the west], but our liberation comes from our enslavement to Allah." [Imam Zaid Shakir]
If what you desire from this world is what should suffice you, a little should suffice you; but if you desire more than your sufficiency, the entire world will not suffice you. Control your egos by abandoning what the world contains, for you have entered it naked and naked you will leave it. [Imam Ghazali]
The best awareness is for a man to have self-awareness. And the best knowledge is for a man to stop at the limit of his knowledge. [Shaykh Abdullah Adhami]
To gain even a little certainty is better than that the world contains; for this is an increase which draws one to the eternal abode. [Dhunnun al Misri]
People believe the radiation from mobile phones, blue tooth headsets and phone masts can cause cancer, know that the radiation of wealth can kill off the spirituality of the heart! [Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq]
Narrated Dirar ibn Murrah:Iblissaid:"If I am successful in persuading man to do three things, then that will be all I need: to make forget his sins, to regard his good deeds as too many, and to be proud of his opinion."
"I looked at all friends and did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue. I thought about all dresses, but did not find a better dress than piety. I thought about all types of wealth, but did not find a better wealth than contentment in little. I thought of all types of good deeds, but did not find a better deed than offering good advice. I looked at all types of sustenance but did not find a better sustenance than patience." [Umar (rad)]
Love your friend with some reserve, for he might become inimical to you someday. Despise your enemy with some reserve, For he might become your friend someday. [Ali radi Allah anhu]
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
