1) If what may be perceived as failure in this world will give a person success in the next life, it is better to "fail" in this world.
-Dr. Bilal Philips
2)"Whoever smells the fragrance of knowledge should not hesitate in considering music haraam. The least of what is in it , is that it is the slogan of the immoral and those who drink."
- Ibn al-Qayyim
3)"Learn to overcome negative thinking. Think positively, placing your deepest trust and hopes in Allah. Allah does better for us than we can ever wish for ourselves."

4) Once Shaykh ibn Baaz (died 1999) was praying during the night when he heard someone jump on the roof of his house. The shaykh called his sons and told them to find who was up there and bring the person to him.
The man was captured and brought to the shaykh, but the shaykh did not ask the man any questions. Instead, the shaykh ordered the cook to make a meal for their guest. After the man ate, the shaykh asked what his business was on the roof of his home. The man revealed that he was trying to steal 10,000 Saudi riyals to pay for the surgery of his father. Hearing this, ibn Baaz agreed to pay for the entire surgery.
The man later returned to the shaykh and asked to become one of his students and ibn Baaz agreed. When the shaykh passed away, one of his sons went to tell man the news. The son of ibn Baaz said that the man fainted the first 3 times he heard that the shaykh passed away. That is how much he loved the shaykh for his kind treatment and help.
5) We are quick to talk about the children of others negatively but forget that we have children too.
- Mufti Ismail Menk
6) The wisest advice that you can taken on in your life is not to be so concerned with what is said about you. Indeed, you know who you are and Allah knows best your circumstance and intention. So don’t lessen your worth by always justifying your actions, for indeed failure in life lies in one thing: Trying to please everyone.”
- ‘A’idh al-Qarni
7) A wife and a husband should be regarded as friends for the sake of Allaah. And that friendship is above material needs; each encouraging the other one to do good deeds, which are pleasing to Allaah.
- Dr. Bilal Philips
8) If you want your children to respect you and love you regardless of your shortcomings then teach them the book of Allah.

9) Sometimes we become so focused on the finish line...that we fail to find joy in the journey.
Accept your past with no regrets. Handle your present with confidence. Face your future without fear.
10) When feeling sad, or hurt, or angry, or let down, never forget that it is Allah who truly has the ability to make you feel better. Let your pain bring you closer to Him. Start speaking to and asking of the One who is capable over all things, the One to whom no problem is too big. Return and turn to Allah in these moments; He may have placed you in this situation for that very reason.)
11)Don't let Duaa and Dhikr be like artificial respiration used only when needed. For a happy life let it be between your exhalation and inhalation!
['al-Zuhd', by Ibn al-Mubarak]
24)Imam Maalik said: "Just because someone is better in debating and arguing than the other, does that now mean that we should leave what Jibraeel brought to Muhammad (peace be upon him)?!"- As-Sunnah by Muhammad Ibn al-Andalusi.

25) Imam Malik (rh): “Do not look to the sins of people as if you are Lords, but look to your own sins as if you are slaves. Have mercy on the people of affliction and praise Allah for your well-being, and never say, ‘This person is from the people of Hellfire, and this person is from the people of Paradise.’ Do not be arrogant over the sinners, but rather ask Allah to grant them hidayah and rashad (i.e. guidance).

14)Shaykh Saleh Al-Fawzan (hafidhahullah) stated: "Have patience with the shortcomings of the woman. Do not argue about every little thing she does. Overlook the faults that do not affect the marriage."
(al-Iffihaf, pg.865)
15)No matter how busy we are, praying our obligatory salah won't take much of our time. In fact, it will give peace to our minds & refresh our souls & Allaah will shower His blessings on us through out the day! O Allaah! Make us of those who offer their prayers regularly at the correct times! Ameen!
16)"From the perfection of Allah’s ihsan is that He allows His slave to taste the bitterness of the break before the sweetness of the mend. So He does not break his believing slave, except to mend him. And He does not withhold from him, except to give him. And He does not test him (with hardship), except to cure him."
- Ibn Taymiyyah
21) The believers need regular reminders to keep their trust firmly rooted in the Almighty as the world invites them to humble themselves to its glitter and glory.

22)" You stand in your prayers with your body….directing your face to the Qiblah, while your heart is directed to a different territory?! Woe to you! That prayer [of yours] is not worthy of being a Mahr (dowry) for Paradise, how then can it be befitting for [attaining] the Love [of Allaah]”
12) it's impossible that something which Allah has written for you should go to someone else. So go easy; do not envy nor have hatred, and live with a white heart and a pure intention. Be with Allah and Allah will be with you.
13)If all the people are pleased with you but Allah is not, what have you gained?If Allah is pleased with you and no one else is, what have you lost?

20)“Allah mentioned the verse, ‘Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth…’ [al-Nūr 24:35] immediately after the verses concerning lowering the gaze. So whoever lowers his gaze from what is ḥarām, Allah allows the light of his insight to emanate and allows knowledge to be accessible to him.”
