CONTEMPLATIONS Posted June 11, 2009 - Repentance [Tawbah] is like a washing machine that cleans your sins. Which make are you? - Successful are those who do not delay today’s work till tomorrow - Time is like wealth- as with wealth the value of time is measured by how well it is spent and used. A miser is one who does not spend from his wealth except a little; similarly the one who does not spend his time well is a miser too. - Hope without patience is like a ship sailing on dry land - Tajwid, the art of learning to speak to God - People love to receive but always dislike to give - Sign of man’s success in this life does not lie in how much wealth he has accumulated, but true success lies in the legacy he leaves behind - Salah, the court of God on earth, so decorate yourself with humility when you stand in front of him - Only the weak hide behind pre-destination [al-qadar] - People are fixated in erecting buildings but neglect the building of men! - A Muslim’s character is always political! - The difference between the worldly [dunyawiy] pleasures and those of the heaven, heavenly pleasures are unadulterated while worldly pleasures are contaminated with pain and grief. - Narrating stories [Qisas] is in fact following them since qassa means to follow - Dhikr [Remembrance of God], like a magnet it pulls one to God. - The mind of the youth is like an empty vessel, easy to fill. - Scholars are like doctors, they heal the wounds of ignorance. - Fiqh without tasawwuf [spirituality] is like a body without a soul. - The dunya is like a dream, a person believes everything that he sees are true and real - The dunya is like a mirage, every time one comes close it fades away from him - The dunya is like a play in which everyone has a role to perform - The dunya is a station in the journey to God Abdullah Hasan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://maqasid.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/contemplations/ |
