Do not attach Your Heart to Other than Allaah!!!

Posted by: Taalibah 4 Life in New posts, Life, Wisdom, Self Developement, Products for muslims and non muslims, Did You Know

Imam Ibn Taimiyyah (ra) said: “Anyone whose heart is attached to the creation, hoping for someone from the creation to help him or provide for him or guide him, then his heart submits to them & to the degree that his heart submits to them he becomes their slave. This holds true, even if he is outwardly a ruler or a guardian over those whom he treats as masters. The wise one looks at realities & not at appearances. So if a man’s heart is attached to his wife, even though that is permissible, his heart remains a prisoner to her, & she may rule over him as she pleases-though outwardly he is her master & her husband. In reality, he is her prisoner & her slave, especially if she knows how much he is in need of her & how much he feels that she cannot be replaced by anyone else. At that point, she rules over him as the tyrant master rules over subjugated slave, who cannot escape or go free. Indeed for the heart to be taken as a prisoner is a much greater matter than for the body that is a slave can have in it a serene & peaceful & happy heart. As for the heart that is a slave to other than Allaah (the Exalted), then that is true humiliation, imprisonment & slavery.

  Junaid was asked about thankfulness & he said: “To not use one of Allaah’s blessings for the purpose of disobeying Him.” 

Hasan Basri said: “I met with people who deemed the world to be less important than the earth underneath their feet. One of them would own only enough sustenance to mantian his body, yet he would still say, ‘I will give part of this in the way of Allaah!”

From the wise sayings of Luqmaan

Posted by: Taalibah 4 Life in New posts, Wisdom

“If you’re in prayer, take care of your heart: if you’re eating, take care of your throat; if you’re in another man’s house, take care of your eyes; if you are among people, take care of your tongue. Remember two matters & forget two matters: Remember Allaah & death; forget any good that you have done to another & any evil that was done to you by another.”

Sunni, Wahhabi, and Shia Muslims whats the difference? (part 3 final)

Posted by: mirza786 in Islam today, what is islam, Wisdom

Now this little series of posts has been a massive learning curve for me as I’ve ascertained information that I really needed to know as I my self know a lot Muslims that could well come under any one of the categories on Sunni, Shia and Wahhabi so it’s very important for me to know what I’m talking about. Not only for that reason I have family around me all the time and this subject is always a main point of topic now I’m not questioning my family’s knowledge on the subject it’s just that they never seem to come to an agreement on what or not about what ever other madhabs involve.
