Good manners

Good manners

There was a man from the Arabs who was know for always having many wives throughout his life, and it was said to him, "And how were you able to keep so many?"He said,"When we were young, they stuck to me because of my youth.Then I had wealth, and they were patient with me because of that .When my youth and wealth parted, all that remained were my good manners, and through them I live with my wives and they live with me."

wise words

 A wise man said, The people who have the greatest degree of restlessness are the envious, those who have the greatest degree of happiness are the contented. Those who persevere most through suffering are those who are covetous. Those who have the simplest and most pleasant life are those who most strongly refuse this world. The one who will suffer the greatest regret is the scholar whose actions contradict his knowledge.

Forgive him who wrongs you; join him who cuts you off; do good to him who does evil to you; and speak the truth even if it be against yourself~Inscribed on Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.’s sword

If asked whether you love God, say nothing. This is because if you say, ‘I do not love God,’you are an unbeliever. If, on the other hand, you say, ‘I do love God,’ your actions contradict you-Al-Fudayl ibn Iyaad 

The need of the hour is that your life should be revolutionised. The revolution should not be an individual one but a collective one. The change should be concerning your belief, your morals, your actions, your dealings, your decisions, and your efforts. Your life in every way should become a beacon of guidance and it should become a means for Dawah.

-Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi

To a Noble Friend

To a Noble Friend.

Your light is seen, your heart is known, your soul is cherished by more people than you might imagine…If you knew how many others have been touched in wonderful ways by you, you would be astonished. If you knew how many people feel so much for you, you would be shocked…You are far more wonderful than you think you are…

May Allah be pleased with them

May Allah be pleased with them.

“The word “shams” (sun) is feminine, and “qamar” (moon) is masculine. The sun burns itself out to give light and life to everything around, and the moon is muneer, meaning it reflects the light. Within itself it has no light; it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, the implication is that we are reflecting the glorious light of our women.” (Shaykh Abdullah Adhami)

Reflections

Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom & thee was hatred become as it were thy friend & intimate! (41:34) Darkness cannot drive out darkness, you need light to do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, you need love to do that.

Half of it

Half of it.

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)

narrates that Prophet Muhammad (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) 

said: “Moderation in expenditure is half of economy, 

friendship with good people

is half of wisdom and intelligent questioning is half of knowledge” Bayhaqi.

Let them go

When people whom you are interested in,
walk away from you,
do not stop them, 
let them go away.
Your destiny is never tied to someone 
who leaves you and it dosen't mean 
they are bad people. 
It just means that their part in your life story is over 
and know that marriage is based upon knowledge and not looks, practice not preaching, forgiveness not anger, noble love not lust and upon compassion not revenge.
