Perfecting one's intention for Allah's sake, is a lifetime's work.

Niels Oberson 

Baaz aa, baaz aa, har anche hastee baaz aa. Gar kaafeer u gabr u bot parastee baaz aa. Een dargaahe maa dargaahe nowmeedee neest,Saad baar agar towba shikastee baaz aa.

Come again come again whatever you are come again, if you're a kafir or idol- worshiper come again. This home of ours is not a home of hopelessness, even if you've repented one hundred times, come again.

There’s a brother who says

والى الله ترجع الأمور Wa ilal-lāhi turja'ul umoor And to Allah returns all affairs

When someone would hurt him or try to have a meaningless argument with him

A habit I picked up as well

العلم نور

Knowledge is light. Once internalised, we have a duty to shine it upon others.

‏الحياة سَتمضي قبل أن نَستوعب مَا يَمُر بِنا

Life will pass before we realize what is happening to us.

- Naguib Mahfouz

Perfecting one's intention for Allah's sake, is a lifetime's work.

Ever wonder the number of lifetimes you need to live all the different lives you imagined to live?

The Prophet ﷺ said,

“When death was approaching the Prophet Nuh عليه السلام, he said to his son,

‘I will narrate to you my bequest; I command you with two things and prohibit you from two things.

I command you with La ilaha illAllah (‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah),

if the seven heavens and the seven earths were placed upon a scale and La ilaha illAllah was placed on the other, then La ilaha illAllah would be heavier.

If the seven heavens and the seven earths were a closed off circle then La ilaha illAllah would be able to break it.

The second thing I command you with is Subhana Allaahi wa bihamdihi because it is a supplication for everything, and by it the creation is given its provision, and I prohibit you from shirk and pride.’”

[Al Silsila As Sahiha, 3130]
