Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎"If the one giving charity knew that his charity falls in the hand of Allāh before the hand of the poor, the delight of the one giving would be more than the delight of the one taking."

‎[Madārij as-Sālikīn | 1/26]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله listed a few consequences of sinning/disobeying Allāh:

• Lack of success
• Corrupt views
• Blindness from truth
• Corruption of the heart
• Failing to remember Allāh
• Wasting of time
• Avoidance and hate by the creation
• Separation between the servant and his Lord
• Supplication not being answered
• Hardness of the heart
• Decaying of blessing in provision and age
• Prevention from attaining knowledge
• Humiliation
• Insults from the enemies
• Constriction of the chest
• Affliction with evil friendship, those who corrupt the heart and make one waste the time
• Prolonging of sadness and grief
• Miserable life
• and Disappointment

All this results from sinning and and neglecting to remember Allāh, just as crops are grown by being watered and are consumed by fire.

26 DAYS TO GO:

‎Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎“Whoever’s Ramadan was correct and safe (from evil), the rest of his year
‎will be safe (from evil Insha'Allāh).”


‎[Zaad al-Ma’ad | 11/398]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“It is not a matter of you loving Allāh;

‎rather, the matter is that Allāh loves you.

‎And Allāh does not love you unless you follow His beloved (ﷺ),

‎outwardly and inwardly.”


‎[Madarij as-Salikeen | 3/39]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎“Whenever Allāh, the Exalted prevents His believing servant from something during this worldly life, He will bestow upon him something which is better and more useful to him. It should be noted that this is only granted to the believers.”


‎ [al-Fawā’id]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

"Know that the greatest of losses is for you to be preoccupied with one who will bring you nothing but a loss in your time with Allāh."

‎[al-Waabil al-Sayyib | 45]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“The more the people would commit new types of oppression and crimes, the more their Lord would afflict them with new types of corruptions and diseases in their food, fruits, air, waters, bodies, appearances, images, shapes, and manners…

…from deficiencies and corruptions,
which are the result of their actions, injustice and wrongdoing.”


[Zād al-Maʿād fī Hadyi Khayr al ‘Ibād | 4/332]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“From the greatest of oppression and ignorance is that you seek glorification and reverence for yourself from the people,

‎and your heart is empty of glorification of Allāh and revering Him.”


‎[Al-Fawā’id | Pg. 676]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎"We were a nation from the people of Jannah, then Iblīs brought us as captives to this world. So there is nothing for us in this dunya except stress and sadness, until we return to the land that we were brought out of."

‎[Al-Fawā’id]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎“Friday is the balance of the week, Ramadan is the balance of the year and Hajj is the balance of life.”

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:

‎“Faith in the qadr and being pleased with it removes from the servant: worry, grief, and sadness.”


‎[Madārij as-Salikīn | 2/164]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎"From dignity is overlooking the lapses of the people and making them feel that you are unaware of any of their errors."

‎[Madārij As-Sālikīn | 2/335]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“When I was in Makkah and couldn’t find a doctor, I instead read al-Fātihah over a glass of Zamzam-water several times. I thereafter drank it and noticed how I became all well.”


‎[At-Tibb an-Nabawi | Pg. 164]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله mentioned some signs to indicate whether a person has a sound heart, from them:

“Is that when he enters the salaah, all of his anxieties and worries concerning the Dunyā leave him, and he finds it difficult to leave the prayer.”


[Ighātul Lahfān]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Enough as a punishment for sins is that it prevents you from worshipping Allāh,

‎even if you wanted to.”


‎[ad-Daa’ wad Dawaa’ | Pg. 87]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“The perfection of tawheed is found when there remains nothing in the heart except Allāh; the servant is left loving those He loves and what He loves, hating those He hates and what He hates, showing allegiance to those He has allegiance to, showing enmity to those He shows enmity towards, ordering what He orders and prohibiting what He prohibits.”

[Al-Madārij as-Salikeen | Vol 3, Pg. 485]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎"If you see Allāh giving you from His blessings one after the other, whilst you yourself are constant upon disobeying Him, be vigilant…

‎because this (i.e blessings) is only an enticement (towards punishment) that Allāh is enticing you with."


[ad-Daa wa Dawaa | Pg. 35]
