Imam Ibn al Qayyim رحمه الله said,

The people of Islaam amongst the people are strangers

And the believers amongst the people of Islaam are strangers

The people of knowledge amongst the believers are strangers

And Ahlus Sunnah who distinguish between desires and innovations are strangers

And the callers to it, and those who are patient upon the harms of the opposers are the most strangest of them

[Madaarij As Saalikeen 3/195]

‎:الشيخ سعيد رسلان حفظه الله

‎“Make the most of your time,
‎and safeguard your lifespan.

‎Every second of it, not merely every minute,
‎hour, day, week, or beyond that.

‎Be diligent with every second of your life, for each passing second, is a second closer to your grave.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ الْمُزَنِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ الشَّافِعِيَّ، يَقُولُ: «مَنْ وَعَظَ أَخَاهُ سِرًّا فَقَدْ نَصَحَهُ وَزَانَه، وَمَنْ وَعَظَهُ عَلَانِيَةً فَقَدْ فَضَحَهُ وَخانَهُ

and He who advises him (his brother) upon the heads of the people (ie: publicly), then it is nothing but exposing him.”
