Causes of Joy to Ones’ Heart:

‎Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“Four things that bring joy to the heart:

‎• Looking at loved ones

‎• Looking at the blue sky

‎• Looking at flowing water

‎• Looking at greenery.”

‎[Summarised from Zaad al-Ma'ad | Pg. 614]

‎Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Whoever performs a deed for the sake of Allāh and the Hereafter, can only stay on the straight path by having two restraints: to let his heart continually seek Allāh's Pleasure and the Hereafter, and restrain it from turning to anything other than that. And to restrain his tongue from that which is not beneficial, and constantly remember Allāh and that which
increases its faith and knowledge, and restrain his body from committing sins and indulging in lusts, and adhering to religious duties and recommendations.

He should maintain these restraints until he meets his Lord to free him from restraint to enter the widest and best of places.

And if he did not endure these two restraints, and indulges in lusts and desires, he will be punished with a horrible restraint while leaving this world.

Therefore, all those who leave this world are either freed from this worldly restraint or are going to another kind of restraint in the Hereafter. And it is Allāh Who Grants success.”

[Al-Fawā’id | Pg. 83-84]

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan حفظه الله said:

"If you wish for Allah to forgive you, forgive the one who has done evil to you, because the reward is from the type of actions performed"


📚 Sharh Kitab al-Kabä'ir | Page 106 | Shaykh Sälih al-Fawzan [may Allah preserve him]
Translation: Authentic Quotes

If you send one Salah upon the Prophet ‎ﷺ:

Allah will send ten Salawaat upon you.

The angels will also send Salah upon you while you are sending Salah upon [the Prophet ‎ﷺ]

Ten good deeds will be written for you.

Ten sins will be removed from you.

Your rank will be raised by ten levels.

And the more you send Salah upon him, the closer you will be to him in rank and you will be on the path to Paradise.

So, increase in sending Salah upon him, more so on the day of Jumu'ah.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"If the people knew the reward for pronouncing the Adhan and for standing in the first row (in the congregational prayer) and found no other way to get it except by drawing lots they would do so."

📚 Sahih al-Bukhari 653

Whenever Az-Zibriqān ibn Badr would marry off one of his daughters, he would say:

"كُونِي لَهُ أَمَةً يَكُنْ لَكِ عَبْدًا"

“Be a servant to him and he will be a servant to you!”

[‘Uyūn Al-Akhbār: 4/364]

Imām ‘Abd As-Salam رحمه الله said:

"It is not permissible to mention problematic issues in the presence of laymen, because this may become the source of their delusion and doubts.”

[القواعد الكبرى ٤٠٢/٢]

Imām Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“ليس في الشريعة حكم إلا وله حكمه وإن لم يعقلها كثير من الناس“

“There’s not in the shari’ah a legislation except that there's a wisdom behind it, even if many people don't understand it"

[Zaad Al-Ma’ād]

لو رأى أحدنا كنزًا من كنوز الدُّنيا يُمكنه أخذه؛ لاستكثر منه، فهلا استكثرنا من كنز من كنوز الجنة؛ فقد قال رسول الله ﷺ لأبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه: "ألا أدُلُّكَ على كنزٍ من كُنوزِ الجنةِ"؟، ثمَّ قال ﷺ: "لا حولَ ولا قوَّةَ إلَّا باللهِ"؛ فاستكثروا منها، وحركوا ألسنتكم بها

If one of us saw a treasure from the treasures of this world that they could take to accumulate wealth, why don't we accumulate from a treasure from the treasures of paradise?

For the Prophet ﷺ said to Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, "Shall I not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" Then he ﷺ said,

لا حولَ ولا قوَّةَ إلَّا باللهِ
“There is no might or power except by Allah."

So accumulate it and move your tongues with it.

Imam Al-Bazzar رحمه الله said regarding Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله رحمة واسعة:

“When Ibn Taymiyyah used to ride the horse, he would go into the rows of enemies like a brave warrior. He was firm against them and would say Takbir. He would make the enemy tired because of his attacks. He would enter into the army of enemies as if there was no fear of death.”
