More quotes by 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
O you, who spends his lifetime disobeying his Lord, no one amongst your enemies is wicked to you more than you are to yourself
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Yearning for Allah and His meeting is like the gentle breeze blowing upon the heart, extinguishing the blaze of the Dunya. Whosoever caused his heart to settle with his Lord shall be in a state, calm and tranquility, and whosoever sent it amongst the people shall be disturbed and excessively perturbed.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
If the heart becomes hardened, the eye becomes dry.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
There are no means of attaining faith and certainty except through the Qur'an.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Be to Allah as He wishes, and He will be to you more than you can wish for.
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
Losing time is harder than death, as losing time keeps you away from Allah and the Hereafter, while death keeps you away from the worldly life and people.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
There are six stages to knowledge: Firstly: Asking questions in a good manner. Secondly: Remaining quiet and listening attentively. Thirdly: Understanding well. Fourthly: Memorising. Fifthly: Teaching. Sixthly- and it is its fruit: Acting upon the knowledge and keeping to its limits.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
If a heart becomes attached to anything other than Allah, Allah makes him dependent on what he is attached to. And he will be betrayed by it.
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
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
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
When Allah tests you it is never to destroy you. When He removes something in your possession it is only in order to empty your hands for an even greater gift.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
A tear that runs down a believer's cheek is more beneficial than a thousand raindrops on the earth
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
The hijrah to Allah includes abandoning what He hates and doing what He loves and accepts.
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
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
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
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
