A Journey...

"Verily this world is a bridge, so cross over it but do not build on it." - Prophet Isa (a.s)

‘It is You Who removed the strangers from the hearts of Your lovers so that they never love other than You… What does the one who loses You find [besides You]?! And what does the one who finds You lose [out on]?! He indeed fails who is satisfied with a substitute for You.’

Imam Hussain (a.s) [Bihar al-Anwar, v. 98, p. 226, no. 3]

Let not people delude you against yourself, for that which is your fate shall reach you in spite of them! And let not the days prevent you from this and that, for surely, with you is the One Who protects you! And do not belittle your little good deeds, for you shall see them tomorrow in a form, which will please you. And do not underestimate your little evil deeds, for you shall see them tomorrow in a form, which will grieve you. Do good deeds, for I have seen nothing quicker in pursuit of an old sin, so as to blot it out, than the good deed. Surely, Allah says in the Qur’an: ‘Indeed, good deeds carry away the evil deeds; and that is a reminder for those who remember Allah ‘(Hud:114).

Every morning I open my eyes, and I inhale my first breathe, and I say thank you for giving me one more day to prepare myself for death.

Allah makes the faith of every single believer his own [source of] intimacy, so that he will never feel lonely even if he were to be on the top of a mountain.

If the heart of a person is wrapped up in the fascination of anything other than the presence of Allah at the time of prayer he is to be considered as worshipping that thing, not Allah.

Surely my daughter Fatima is the leader of all women from the beginning to the end. She is part of me, and the light of my eyes, she is the flower of my heart, and is my soul…whenever she stands in the presence of her Lord, her light illuminates the skies for the angels, like stars shine to people on earth

Destiny is one of the secrets which are guarded and protected by Allah, which are raised high behind the veil of Allah, hidden from creation and sealed with the seal of Allah’s foreknowledge, removed from the knowledge of His slaves and elevated above their vision; their intellects are prevented from attaining this secret by being unable to reach it either by the truth of Lordship or by the everlasting Power, either by the splendour of Majesty or by the force of Oneness for this secret is an overflowing sea which belongs entirely to Allah. Its depth extends from the heavens to the earth, its breadth from the east to the west, a sea as black as the darkest night, abounding in life and fishes, alternately ebbing and flowing. At the bottom of his sea shines a sun. It is not fitting that anyone catch sight of it but by the One on Whom all depend; whoever attempts to see it is setting himself up as a rival to Allah in His wisdom, is challenging His sovereignty and is threatening to reveal His secret: He indeed becomes deserving of Allah’s wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.

[7:42] And (as for) those who believe and do good We do not impose on any soul a duty except to the extent of its ability— they are the dwellers of the garden; in it they shall abide.

[7:43] And We will remove whatever of ill-feeling is in their breasts; the rivers shall flow beneath them and they shall say: All praise is due to Allah Who guided us to this, and we would not have found the way had it not been that Allah had guided us; certainly the messengers of our Lord brought the truth; and it shall be cried out to them that this is the garden of which you are made heirs for what you did.
