Ibn al-Jauzī (رحمه الله) said:

“Endure the nights of hardship, for if you look through the eye of patience, you will be able to see the dawn of reward.” Verily, the high places can only be achieved through hardship! Haven’t you noticed that the thorns grow on the roses?”

Ibn al-Jawzī (رحمه الله) said:

“I do not know of something more beneficial than isolating from people; you don’t come across anyone except one who complains about a calamity, or is envious of a blessing, or looking for your faults.”

[Ṣayd al-Khāṭir (p. 275)]

Oh ok so it turns out ive been borrowing grief from the future ! it turns out ive been preparing to lose the things i love rather than basking in the light of them while they last. Maybe i should nt do that

"If a tiny spark catches onto your dress from the fire, you immediately rush to put it out. What then of a fire that will burn your religion -evil traits such as arrogance, envy and ostentation- how can you allow them to remain in your heart?"

Nur al Ulum, p. 239.

need a polite way to say "im not engaging in a discussion on this topic with you because the conclusions you have reached are based on so many interwoven layers of misconceptions it would be easier to just like, hard reset your whole brain, just start over as a baby and try again"

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“Whoever knows himself well, would keep himself busy reforming himself instead of talking about the faults of others.

‎Whoever knows his Lord, would keep himself busy trying to please Him instead of trying to please himself.”
