Perfect Your Prayer and Tongue

"Two matters, if a person perfects them, everything else will also be perfected: his prayer, and his tongue" ~ Yunus. B. Ubayd

Blessing of Allah

“When God desires good for anyone He blesses him with a sound intellect, makes knowledge beloved to him, bestows taqwa (God-consciousness) on him, makes gentleness his way, enriches him with contentment, and shows him his faults.”

Imam Harith al-Muhasibi, Risala Al-Mustarshidin

Giving Shaytaan Hope

If the shaytaan looks at you and sees that you are consistent in an act of obedience to Allaah, he will try to come to you again and again. If he sees that you are persistent in your actions (despite his efforts) he will tire of you and leave you. But if he sees that you are one day like this and one day like that, he will have high hopes in you. - Al Hasan Al Basree

Politeness-Characteristic of Believer

Politeness is part of the attitude of the believers, and it is lowering the wing of humility to people, speaking gently, and not speaking harshly to them,which are among the best means of creating harmony—ibn Battaal

Desiring Good for Others

I have never spoken to anyone without wanting success for him, and desiring that he be directed to the right way, be helped and have protection and preservation from Allah Almighty.—Imām al-Shāfi‘ī 

Shaitaan Runs Away Through Zikr of Allah

Abdullah Bin Abbas  narrated that Rasool Allah  said, “The Shaitan sticks to the heart of the child of Adam. When he does Zikr of Allah, he (the Shaitan) runs away from him. And when the child of Adam becomes careless from the Zikr of Allah, the Shaitan begins to put was-wasah (evil suggestions) into his heart. (Bukhari)

Shaytaan's First Trick

	The first confounding of Iblis [Satan] on people: He prevented them from knowledge,because knowledge is a light, if their lights go out he [Iblis] would strike them in the darkness however he wishes.  Ibn Al Jawzi

Disease of Criticizing

“Some people have the disease of criticising all the time. They forget the good about others and only mention their faults. They are like flies that avoid the good and pure places and land on the bad places and on wounds. This is because of the evil within the self and the spoiled nature.” Ibn Taymiyyah
