Good Advice ~ Ibn Al-Qayyim

Good Advice~ Ibn Al-Qayyim:

Good advice by the great scholar, Ibn Al-Qayyim:

"A friend will not (literally) share your struggles, an a

loved one cannot physically take away your pain, and a

close one will not stay up the night on your behalf…so look

after yourself, protect it, nurture it…and don't give life's

events more than what they are really worth…Be certain

that when you break no one will heal you except you, and

when you are defeated no one will give you victory except

your determination…your ability to stand up again and

carry on is your responsibility…Do not look for your self

worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from

within your conscious…if your conscious is at peace then

you will ascend high…and if you truly know yourself then

what is said about you won't harm you.

Do not carry the worries of this life… because this is for

Allah…and do not carry the worries of sustenance because

it is from Allah…and do not carry the anxiety for the future

because it is in the Hands of Allah..

Carry one thing: How to Please Allah. Because if you

please Him, He Pleases you, fulfils you and enriches you.

Do not weep from a life that made your heart weep…just

say "oh Allah…compensate me with good in this life and

the hereafter".

Sadness departs with a sajdah…happiness comes with a

sincere du'a…Allah Does Not forget the good you do…nor

Does He Forget the good you did to others and the pain

you relieved them from…Nor Will He Forget the eye which

was about to cry but you made it laugh..

Live your life with this principle: Be good even if you don't

receive good…not because of other's sake but because

Allah Loves the good doers".

Subhanallah!
