“Whoever desires the quick-passing (transitory enjoyment of this world), We readily grant him what We will for whom We like. Then, afterwards, We have appointed for him Hell; he will burn therein disgraced and rejected ( far away from Allaah’s Mercy). And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it (i.e. does righteous deeds of Allaah’s obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allaah Islamic Monotheism) — then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, (thanked and rewarded by Allaah)”

al-Isra' 17:18-19

"O my soul, it is not for a few days patience,
As if her extent were a few dreams.
Oh my soul, pass quickly on through this world,
And leave it, for indeed life lies ahead of it."

‘Aisha (radhiallaAhu `anha):

A man came to her and asked ‘When will I know that I am pious?’
She said, ‘When you realise that you are a sinner.’
He said, ‘And when will I know I am a sinner?’
She replied, ‘When you think you are pious.’

"I am surprised at three things:
1. [A] man runs from death while death is inevitable.
2. One sees minor faults in others, yet overlooks his own major faults.
3. When there is any defect to one's cattle he tries to cure it, but does not cure his own defects."

Hadhrat Umar Radhiallaahu Anhu

‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

“O, you perpetrator of sin! Do not feel safe from the end result of it, when what follows the sin is greater than the sin which you committed, for to feel little or no embarrassment towards those on the right and the left of you when you committed the sin is greater than the sin which you committed. Your laughter, when you know not what Allah will do to you is greater than the sin. Your happiness with the sin if you succeeded in doing it is greater than the sin, and your unhappiness at being unable to commit the sin is greater than the sin if you had succeeded in committing it. Your fear of the wind if it moved the curtain covering your door while you were committing the sin and your heart is not disturbed by Allah seeing you is greater than the sin which you committed. Woe to you!

Do you know what was the sin of Ayyub (peace be upon him) and why Allah, the Most High tested him in his body and by the loss of his wealth? The sin of Ayyub was only that a poor man sought his help in alleviating injustice that had befallen him, but he did not help him and he did not enjoin the good or forbid the oppressor from commiting injustice against this poor man and so Allah, the all Mighty, the all Powerful put him to trial.”

[Hilyat ul Awliyaa']

LOVE IS SECRET

Love is a secret connection between the lover and his beloved. Many a time love is cemented between them not for their beauty but for the union of their souls. The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "Out of them, love grows among those who have got similarity of souls." So it appears that there are five cause's of love:

(1) A man loves his life, his perfection and his living long.
(2) He loves one who helps him in his livelihood.
(3) He loves one who does good to the people.
(4) He loves one who has external and internal beauty.
(5) He loves one who has a secret connection with him.

If these qualities are found in one person, love for him is increased manifold.

"I complained to Wakī‘ about my bad memory,
and he taught me that I should keep away from sin.
He said that knowledge of Allah is light,
and the light of Allah is not given to the sinner."
