More quotes by Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Whoever prefers Allah to all others, Allah will prefer him to others.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Doom comes about because of neglecting to evaluate one's self and because of just following one's whims.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
The sea of pleasures may drown its owner and the swimmer fears to open his eyes under the water.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Love of Allah is the power of the heart, the sustenance of the heart, the light of the heart.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Patience is that the heart does not feel anger towards that which is destined and that the mouth does not complain.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
The ibtilaa' (testing) of the believer is like medicine for him. It cures him from illness. Had the illness remained it would destroy him or diminish his reward and level (in the hereafter). The tests and the trials extract these illnesses from him and prepare him for the perfect reward and the highest of degrees (in the life to come).
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
There is no joy for the one who does not bear sadness, there is no sweetness for the one who does not have patience, there is no delight for the one who does not suffer, and there is no relaxation for the one who does not endure fatigue.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
The hijrah to Allah includes abandoning what He hates and doing what He loves and accepts.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
If a man's patience is stronger than his whims and desires, then he is like an angel, but if his whims and desires are stronger than his patience, then he is like a devil. If his desire for food, drink and sex is stronger than his patience, then he is no better than an animal.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
As you can taste a pot full of food with a spoon likewise someone's tounge can tell you about his heart.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
If the heart becomes hardened, the eye becomes dry.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
This wordly life is like a shadow. If you try to catch it, you will never be able to do so. If you turn your back towards it, it has no choice but to follow you.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
As long as one is following the right way, one should never be concerned about the reproaches of those who like to find faults.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
There are no means of attaining faith and certainty except through the Qur'an.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
O people who take pleasure in a life that will vanish, falling in love with a fading shadow is sheer stupidity
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill his emptiness.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
He who keeps his heart near God will find peace and tranquility, whilst he who gives his heart to the people will find restlessness and apprehension.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
The heart will rest and feel relief if it is settled with Allah. And it will worry and feel anxious if it is settled with the people.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Happiness is attained by three things: being patient when tested, being thankful when receiving a blessing, and being repentant upon sinning.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Wasting time is worse than death, because death separates you from this world whereas wasting time separates you from Allah
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
