#Determination:
Being determined to reach your aim entails the exertion of your utmost effort, and being cautious for fear of losing hope.
[Al-Fawaid, A Collection of Wise Sayings by Ibn-Qayyim]
Peace.
Seclusion:
The solitude of the ignorant is corruption while the solitude of the knowledgeable is fruitful.
If wisdom and conviction are combined (in seclusion), and deep thought is gained, a fruitful conversation will take place.
[Al-Fawaid, A Collection of Wise Sayings by Ibn-Qayyim]
Peace.
I love this one, subhaanallaah! How very true !
May Allaah `azza wa jall forgive us for the sins we commit in privacy!
Jazaakallaahu khayraa.
Assalaamualaikum wa re wa barakatuhu.
You missed again! My Salaam!!
Ameen to your dua'a sis.
Wa`alaikum salaam warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuh!
Sorry, akhy. I don't know how that happened again, but I fixed it!
PS. You know you still get your ajr whether your salaam is returned or not, right?
I used to get annoyed (and a bit embarrassed I gotta admit) when some sisters I meet in passing wouldn't return my salaams (maybe they didn't hear or maybe it was on purpose, Allaahu a`lam) but now I'm able to walk away with a smile on my face because I know Allaah `azza wa jall has seen it and heard it. =) But maashaa'Allaah, this is an important sunnah of the prophet that needs to be constantly applied (and revived in some places).
Assalaamualaikum.
Don't be sorry sis.
I didn't know that we can ajar, learnt something today. jazakAllahu Khairan.
But if you dont return my Salaam, then you don't get ajar right? Well, why would I leave my brothers and sisters behind in collecting ajars.
Should I also learn to walk away with a smile like you do? Is it good?
Peace.
Subhannallah, Jazakhallahu kheyran for the reminder.
Wondrous Reality:
What a wonderful thing it is to know HIM (i.e. Allah SWT)! But, how can one know HIM and not love HIM? How can one hear the Caller but fail to respond? How can one know the profit that shall be gained in dealing with HIM but still prefer others? How can one taste the bitterness of disobeying HIM but still abstain from seeking the pleasure of obeying HIM? How can one feel the severity of engaging in trivial speech, but fail to open your heart with remembrance? How can one be tortured by being attached to others but not rush toward the bliss of turning to HIM in repentance?
Perhaps it is most surprising to know that while you are in need of HIM, you are still reluctant to move toward HIM because you seek others.
