اقتربَتْ الساعةُ ولا يزدادُ الناسُ على الدنيا إلا حِرْصًا، ولا يزْدادُونَ من اللهِ إلا بُعدًا

‎The (Final) Hour has approached and people have not increased with Dunyā except in greed and they have not increased with Allāh except in distance.

—the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ
صحيح الجامع ١١٤٦

Imām ash-Shāfi’ī رحمه الله:

"There is nobody except that he has someone who loves him and someone who hates him.

So if that’s the case, let a person be with the people who are obedient to Allāh as they love and hate for the Sake of Allāh and they are not unjust."
[Hilyat al-Awliyā’: 9/124]

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله:

"Whenever you notice your life is being disturbed and changed,

then recall a blessing that you have not thanked Allāh for (and thank Him for it)

or a sin you have previously committed (and seek forgiveness for it)."

[Captured Thoughts l pg. 88]

عفّةُ المرأة تبدأُ مِن ترك لفت النَّظرِ، وعِفةُ الرجلِ تبدأُ مِن غضِّ البَصرِ، وعفةُ القلبِ مِن تعظيمِ أوامرِ ربّ البشرِ.

"The chastity of a woman begins with avoiding attention, the chastity of a man begins with lowering his gaze, and the purity of the heart comes from honoring the commands of the Lord of mankind."

Mālik b. dīnār رحمه الله said:

“Fight your desires just as you fight your enemies.”

[al-kāmil fil-lughah wal-adab (187)]

“It is only a brief enjoyment. Then Hell will be their home—what an evil place to rest!”

اللهم أجرنا من النار، وأصلح قلوبنا، وثبتنا على دينك، وارزقنا جنة الفردوس.
