❝ It is reported that ‘Abdullāh b. Mas’ūd – Allāh be pleased with him – said, “This world (the dunyā) is [only taken as] a home by those who will have no real home [in Jannah], and it is the wealth of those who will have no real wealth, and it is gathered and collected for by those who have no real intelligence. ❞

— [Ibn Abī Al-Dunyā, Dhamm Al-Dunyā article 16.]

Knowledge is that which benefits, not that which is memorized

Imam ash-Shafi’i (rahimahullah)

“No action of the person of innovation is raised up to Allah.”

Have you not come to know, that Ahlus Sunnah are truly the strangers in every era?

Ibnul Qayyim [rahimahullah]-Qasidatul Nooniyyah

A man is the one who fears the death of his heart, not his body.

Ibn al-Qayyim.  Madaarijus-Saalikeen, v. 3, p. 248.

❝ Everytime you feel disheartened by your being alone on this path, then look to those who came before you and strive to catch up with them, and turn away from everyone else, they will not benefit you in the least with Allah. If you happen to see them somewhere along the path that you are upon, then do not turn to look at them, for if you do so they will distract you and simply delay your progress. ❞
