It is scary to know that Allah Ta'alaa is aware of every sin and vice of ours, yet comforting to know that He is equally aware of our circumstances and repeated intentions of repentance and silent deeds and He alone remains the judge.

- By Allah,I am speechless. It is pouring here,Rohingyans are taking shelter under trucks. Mum takes her kids on a tree top. Nobody has shoes
- لبيك اللهم لبيك. Alhamdulillah, we have donned the ihraam, boarded the coach & heading to Mina, alongside hundreds of thousands of fellow pilgrims. An ocean of mankind will soon converge on the plains of Mina, in search of the pleasure of their Lord. May Allah accept. Ameen
- The devil says, I have achieved my goal when three things happen: (1) Man forgets his sins. (2) Magnifies his virtue. (3) Becomes obsessed with his opinion. Abu Sinaan RA
- When Allah favours you, focus on the favour and be grateful and do not recall the tough days that preceded it, but when He tests you, then be sure to recall the prosperity that preceded it.
- I came across a brilliant quotation today in بيان القرآن في الخوف امنٌ و في الأمن خوفٌ There is "safety in fear" and "fear in safety". I.E. Safety lies in fearing the punishment of Allah and there is great fear for the one who feels safe from the punishment of Allah.
- Amongst the many beauties of Islaam is the different avenues through which you can attain the pleasure of Allah. Smile with a child. Assist the elderly. Grant grace to the debtor. If the above is not possible, just don't hurt anyone, and that could be your ticket to Paradise.
- A friend of mine went on a strict diet and started shedding weight swiftly. I asked him, how do you sustain it ? He replied: The joy of standing on the scale keeps me inspired. If only the believer could focus on the scale of the hereafter, "shedding sin " would become easy.
- Allah says in the Quraan: Establish Salaah, verily Salaah guards (one) against immorality & sin. Chapter 29 - Verse 45 If our Salaah is not preventing us from immorality, then it is as a result of us not taking the "medication correctly" . The divine prescription is flawless
- Nowadays people have personal trainers to keep their physical body in shape and private bankers to take care of their finances, yet ironically many still don't see the need for a Spiritual Mentor, to keep their souls nourished .
- Beware of laziness & anger. The former will not allow you to achieve anything, while the latter will bar you from the truth. (Ibne Ali R.A)
- Imaam Maalik seen a person performing prayer (Salaah) haphazardly. He remarked: I pity that man's children. Someone asked, why ? He replied, he is their "Role Model".
- If Allah takes back a bounty from you & substitutes it by blessing you with Sabr (Patience), then your gain is greater than your loss. (Umar RA)
- Paradise is the only place from which no one will seek relocation. لا يبغون عنها حِولا They (dwellers of Jannah) will not seek a transfer from it. Chapter 18- verse 108. The excitement of every other place (home or holiday) has a subtle expiry date.
