Ibn Al-Qayyim said: “Allah sometimes gives the earth permission to breathe, which is when major earthquakes happen; this makes people feel scared, so they repent, give up sins, pray to Allah and feel regret [for their sins].

When there had been an earthquake, some of the Salaf said: your Lord is warning you.

When Medina was struck by an earthquake, ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab addressed the people and said: if there is another earthquake, I will not stay here with you.” [“Miftah Dar Al-Sa’ada”, 1/221].

Ibn-ul-Qayyim: “When I was in Makkah and couldn’t find a doctor, I instead read Al-Fatiha over a glass of Zamzam-water several times. I thereafter drank it and noticed how I became all well.” (At-Tibb An-Nabawi, P.164)

Whatever Allah has decreed for His believing slave is a blessing even if that is in the form of withholding; it is a favor even if that is in the form of a trial, and the calamity decreed by him is fair even if it is painful” Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah {Madarij Al-Salikeen, 4/215.}

Ibn Qayyim said: “Man consists of the mind of an angel, the lust of an animal, and the fancy of Satan. One of them will prevail. If you could overcome your fancy and lust, you will be in a rank that is higher than an angel. And if your fancy and lust beat you, you will be in a rank that is less than a dog.” (Al-Fawa’id, P.121)

Ibn Qayyim said: “There is a reason for his lying on his right side, which is that the heart is located on the left, so if a person lays on his left side, he will sleep too deeply, because the heart’s position will be too comfortable, but if he sleeps on his right side, he will not be too settled, so he won’t sleep deeply.”

"There is no success except through Allah's Obedience, nor might except through being humble before His Might, nor richness, except by being meek to His Mercy, nor guidance, except by earning His good pleasure, nor delight, except by earning closeness to Him. The heart can neither success nor righteousness, except by being sincere to Allah and loving Him, Alone.

Verily it is Allah who appreciates when He is obeyed, pardons and forgives when He is disobeyed, accepts the supplication when He is invoked and rewards when His call is complied with." (Ibn Qayyim, Zadul Ma'ad, P 1)

"He [Allah] is controlling the affairs of all the kingdoms. He commands and prohibits, creates and gives provision, and gives death and gives life. He raises and lowers peoples status, alternates night and day, gives days (good and not so good) to men by turns, and causes nations to rise and fall, so that one nation vanishes and another emerges.

His command and decree are carried out throughout the heavens and on earth, above it and below it, in the oceans and in the air. He has knowledge of all things and knows the number of all things. He hears all voices, and does not mistake one for another; He hears them all, in all the different languages and with all their varied requests and pleas. No voice distracts Him from hearing another, He does not confuse their requests, and He never tires of hearing the pleas of those in need. He sees all that is visible, even the walk of a black ant across a solid rock in the darkest night.

The unseen is visible to Him, and secrets are known to Him Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth, begs of Him (its needs from Him). Every day He has a matter to bring forth (such as giving honour to some, disgrace to some, life to some, death to some, etc.)! [Al-Rahmaan 55:29 interpretation of the meaning].

He forgives sins, eases worries, relieves distress, helps the defeated person back on his feet, makes the poor rich, guides the one who is astray and confused, fulfils the needs of the desperate, feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, conceals faults, and calms fears. He raises the status of some and lowers the status of others

Even if all the inhabitants of heaven and earth, the first and the last of them, mankind and jinn alike, were to be as pious as the most pious among them, this would not increase His sovereignty in the slightest; if they all, the first and the last of them, mankind and jinn alike, were to be as rebellious as the most rebellious among them, this would not decrease His sovereignty in the slightest. If everything in heaven and on earth, the first and the last of them, mankind and jinn, living and dead, animate and inanimate, were to stand in one place and ask of Him, and He were to give them everything that they asked for, this would not decrease what He has by even an atoms weight.

He is the First, before Whom there is nothing, and the Last, after Whom there is nothing, may He be blessed and exalted. He is the Most deserving of being remembered, the Most deserving of being worshipped, the Most deserving of being thanked.

He is the Most Compassionate of kings, the Most Generous of those who are asked He is the King Who has no partner or associate, the One who has no rival, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who has no son, the Most High, and there is none like unto Him. Everything, besides Him, will perish [Al-Qasas 28:88 interpretation of the meaning], and everything will vanish except His sovereignty He will not be obeyed except by His permission, and He will not be disobeyed except with His knowledge.

He is obeyed, so He shows His appreciation, and He is disobeyed, so he forgives. Every punishment on His part is justice, and every blessing from Him is a favour. He is the closest of witnesses and the nearest of protectors. He seizes people by their forelocks, records their deeds and decrees the appointed time for all things. Hearts conceal nothing from Him, for secrets are known to Him. His gift is a word and His punishment is a word: Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, Be! and it is. [Yaa-Seen 36:82 interpretation of the meaning]." (Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah, Adapted from Al-Waabil Al-Sayib, P 125)"

'Know that the knowledge is a favour and Allâh does not bestow this favour upon a sinner.' [Jawâb Al-Kâfî, Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah (1/52)]
