A Wondrous Reality

[fisabililah]

What a wonderful thing it is to know Him (I.e. Allaah)! But how can one know Him and not love Him? How can one hear the caller, but fail to respond? How can one know the profit that shall be gained in dealing with Him, but still prefer others? How can one taste the bitterness of disobeying Him, but still abstain from seeking the pleasure of obeying Him? How can one feel the severity of engaging in trivial speech, but fail to open your Heart with His remembrance? How can one be tortured by being attached to others, but not rush toward the bliss of turning to Him in repentance?

Perhaps it is most surprising to know that while you are in need of Him, you are still reluctant to move toward Him because you seek others.

[From al-Fawa`id - Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah)]

The true Failure lies in falling in love with this dunya and the True Success is with Allah Aazz'WaJaal

Jazakalah Kahr for sharing a quote from this great Scholar Akhii.

This is My Favorite Quote from Ibn Taymiyya Rahimahulah

"What can my enemies possibly do to me? My Paradise is in my heart; wherever I go it goes with me, Inseparable from me. For me, prison is a place of religious retreat' execution is my opportunity for martyrdom; and exile from my town is but a chance to travel"

Asalama Alaikum

That comment was made by the famous Ulema Shiekh Ibn Taymiyya Rahimahulah and Ibn Qayyim was His most excellent student may Allah's give them Jannah Firdous.

Brother inshallah do some research on Ibn Taymiyya because this Ulema really is amazing in all the things he accomplished during his life time anything from and endured from oppresion to slander but mashallah he succeeded and indeed he aided and gave the Ummah a great deal of beneficial books on the Deen

Assalamu A'leykum.

jazakalahu khair for reminding us of shiekh al-islam ibn taymiyah, we could talk all day about him. He took a share from many aspects of al-Islam, he even did the peak of islam as he took part in jihad in the path of Allah. And when you read about his bravery in front of the enemy it will amaze you.


One brother translated Al-imaam al-bazzar's breif bio about ibn taymiyah,it can be downloaded below.

[Abdi_westldn]

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things. (24:35)
