Dear Son & Daughter of Adam.
How are you? I guess you haven't thought about me for a while have you? Maybe for a month or even a year? I think about you every single day. I am full of darkness, so when you visit me bring the light of your Salaat. I am a place full of fear, so bring with you the peace of Quran. I am full of snakes and scorpions, so bring with you the Sunnah. I am full of punishment so bring your charity and sadaqah. Dear Son & Daughter of Adam, you will soon be visiting me. That is an absolute fact. Undeniable. I am waiting for you. Have you prepared the above?
From, "The Grave"

Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to Allah, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For Allah did take Abraham for a friend.Qur’an - Surat An-Nisâ’ (The Women) [4:125] ~*~*~ Humility is knowing that you can get an answer from anybody: be it a child, another person, or nature.Tariq Ramadan Courtesy: thebeautyofislam.tumblr.com

Lessons to LearnWhen pondering on the 'character sketch' of Pharaoh depicted in the Quran, we all should ask ourselves: do I point out other people's shortcomings in front of others? When someone invites me to the way of Islam, do I retort by reminding them of their past habits, or of the favors that I have done to them? Do I call others by demeaning (nick)names? When I see someone doing positive work of Deen, do I give in to suspicions and doubts, spreading unverified reports about their having some ulterior worldly motive? Do I threaten anyone to stop working for the cause of Allah, or else face my wrath? Its easy to become all holier-than-thou and presume that we are always the good guy like Prophet Musa [alayhis salam], and the bad guy like Pharaoh is always someone else who is doing us wrong. Shaitan makes us undermine our own sins, and makes us think that shortcomings and faults lie only in others; that we don't mistreat them, but are always mistreated ourselves. It is for a reason that the Quran has highlighted the verbal statements spoken by one of the most tyrannical and arrogant rulers in the history of mankind, in response to sincere da'wah by a vicegerent of Allah: to showcase for us the psychological human behavior we should strive to avoid if we want to submit to the haqq when it is brought to us.

I love three things that are hateful to people:
I love poverty, sickness, and death.
I love them because poverty is humility, sickness is expiation for sins, and death results in a meeting with Allaah.
Abu Darda RA

Ibn ‘Abbas radiAllaahu ‘anh said:
“There is no one who does not have a gate in the heavens through which his provision comes down and his good deeds ascend. When the believer dies, that gate is closed; it misses him and weeps for him, and the place of prayer on earth where he used to pray and remember Allaah also weeps for him.

Ibn Ubayd, RaheemahUllaah said,
“We visited Muhammad Ibn Su’qah and he said,
‘Shall I inform you of something which might avail you, because it has been of great help to myself?’
He said ‘Ata ibn Abu Raba’h told us:
‘People who were before you used to hate futile talk. They used to consider everything useless talk except the book of Allah, the sunnah of His messenger salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, enjoining good and forbidding evil and seeking one’s living. Could you deny that over you there are appointed angels, honourable angels in charge of you, one sitting on the right and one on the left, writing down all your deeds? Are you not ashamed of yourself that most of your daily deeds have nothing to do with your religion or worldy gains but futile talks?’”
[Sifat as-safwah 2/213]

“Do whatever little you’re capable of doing now. Often times we put off doing what we can do now in anticipation of something bigger. Sincerity in your intention to do good is doing what is in your capacity at the moment. Say “Bismillah” and get started!”
— Abdul Nasir Jangda

"The most naïve thing in my eyes is to linger in sin, with no regrets – hoping for a far off pardon and to come closer to Allah without doing anything, and waiting for the harvest of Jannah while planting the seeds of hellfire – waiting for reward without performing any deeds”
— Yahya ibn Mu’adh
Ya Allah, protect us! Ameen

Ibn Al-Qayyim has a profoundly powerful statement in his book Al-Fawaid, referring to negative and sinful thoughts, he said:
“You should repulse a thought.
If you do not do so, it will develop into a desire. You should therefore wage war against it.
If you do not do so, it will become a resolution and firm intention. If you do not repulse this, it will develop into a deed.
If you do not make up for it by doing the opposite thereof (the opposite of that evil deed), it will become a habit. It will then be very difficult for you to give it up”

“Whoever learns Qur’an, then his value becomes great. Whoever speaks in Fiqh (learns it), his capacity grows. Whoever writes ahadeeth, his evidence strengthens. Whoever examines into language, his nature softens. Whoever contemplates the reckoning, his opinion becomes sound. And whoever does not protect himself, his knowledge does not benefit him.”
— Imam ash-Shafi’ee
