“Arrest your thoughts, they become your ideas, arrest your ideas, they become your desires, arrest your desires, they become your character, arrest your character, it becomes your actions, and arrest your actions, they become your habits”.
Ibn al-Qayym
Ibn Al-Qayyim said with regards to what one should do to cure his weak Iman using the Quran,
ReplyDelete"First you should remove your heart from the life of this world and settle it in the Last Life. Then, pay your full attention to pursuing the meanings of the Quran, and try to comprehend and understand them and what they were sent down to accomplish. Then, offer these meanings to the sickness that your heart feels, and when they touch the disease, they will cure the heart, Allah willing."
True goodness
ReplyDeleteIt is reported that ‘Alî b. Abî Tâlib – Allâh be pleased with him – said:
Goodness is not in your wealth and offspring being plentiful; true goodness is when your [good] deeds are plenty and you have great understanding and forbearance, and when you compete to worship your Lord. If you do good you praise Allâh and thank Him, and if you sin you beg Allâh’s forgiveness. There is no good in this life except with two types of men: A man who sins but then corrects himself through repentance, and a man who strives and hastens to get [the good] of the hereafter.
Ibn ‘Asâkir, Al-Tawbah article 13
