More quotes by Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Satan rejoiced when Adam (peace be upon him) came out of Paradise, but he did not know that when a diver sinks into the sea, he collects pearls and then rises again.
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
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
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
The soul will never become pious and purified except through undergoing afflictions. It is the same as gold that can never be pure except after removing all the base metals in 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
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 hijrah to Allah includes abandoning what He hates and doing what He loves and accepts.
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
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 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
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
Love of Allah is the power of the heart, the sustenance of the heart, the light of the heart.
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
A tear that runs down a believer's cheek is more beneficial than a thousand raindrops on the earth
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
Beware of preoccupying your heart with what it has not been created 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
There are no means of attaining faith and certainty except through the Qur'an.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
