the truth :)

Say the truth even if it may be bitter.

Imam al-Shafi' in his final sickness said:
When my heart was hardened
and my courses constrained
I made my hope a stairway
to Your forgiveness
My sin burdened me heavily,
but when I measured it
by Your forgiveness
Lord,
Your forgiveness was the greater.

O Allah!
If I worship You from fear of Hell, cast me into Hell.
If I worship You from desire for Paradise, deny me Paradise
but if I worship You for Your own sake,
then withhold not from me Your Eternal Beauty

Put aside your pride,
Set down your arrogance,
And remember your grave.

If dust ascends to heaven, it remains valueless.

and to their remedies.

True knowledge is not mentioned in relation
to how much you memorise and then narrate,
but rather, true knowledge is

and acting upon what He mandated

Do not sit idle, for indeed death is seeking you

I seek forgiveness from Allah for the lack of my sincerity when I say I seek the forgiveness of Allah
- Rabia al-Adawiyyah

Meditation in God is my capital.
Reason and sound logic are the root of my existence.
Love is the foundation of my existence.
Enthusiasm is the vehicle of my life.
Contemplation of Allah is my companion.
Faith is the source of my power.
Sorrow is my friend.
Knowledge is my weapon.
Patience is my clothing and virtue.
Submission to the Divine Will is my pride.
Truth is my salvation.
Worship is my habit.
And in prayer lies the coolness of my eye and my peace of mind.
- ascribed to Ali (radiAllahu anhu)

take me away, heal me.

take my heart, purify me.

take my soul, bless me.

You plan my life. You organize it. You know my ups and downs, my intentions, my everything, inside out. You are the reason. You are the only ONE. ♥♥♥
