Do not betray anyone who places his trust in you, even if he betrays you.

― Sayyidina ‘Ali (karramAllahu wajhu)

Wisdom is like the rain. Its source is unlimited, but it comes down according to the season. Grocers put sugar in a bag, but their supply of sugar is not the amount in the bag. When you come to a grocer, he has sugar in abundance. But he sees how much money you have brought and gives accordingly. Your currency on this Path is resolution and faith, and you are taught according to your resolution and faith. When you come seeking sugar, they examine your bag to see what its capacity is; then they measure out accordingly.

― Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi (qaddasAllahu sirrahu)

The desires of this world are like sea water. The more you drink of them, the more you thirst.

Narrated `Uqba bin Al-Harith:

“I saw Abu Bakr carrying Al-Hasan and saying, ‘Let my father be sacrificed for you; you resemble The Prophet ﷺ and not Ali,’ while Ali was laughing at this.”

-Sahih Bukhari.

I am thinking of making this a feature, honestly, of just reporting Hadith, historical anecdotes, and other various pieces of information that have guided my indifference towards many positions taken by those who think that various personalities associated with The Prophet actually hated each other.

Here’s a spoiler: they didn’t.

Allāhumm-a bārik lanā fī Rajab wa Shaʻbān wa balligh-nā Ramadhān

O Allah, make the months of Rajab, and Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan.

How I wonder at a man who loses hope of salvation when the door of repentance is open for him.

― Sayyidina ‘Ali (karramAllahu wajhu)

— Hacı Bayram-ı Veli (رحمة الله عليه)

— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

All humans are dead except those who have knowledge. And all those who have knowledge are asleep, except those who do good deeds. And those who do good deeds are deceived, except those who are sincere. And those who are sincere are always in a state of worry.

― Imam ash-Shafi’i (rahimahullah)

Prayer clears the mist and brings back peace to the soul. 

― Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi (qaddasAllahu sirrahu)

— Imam Abu Hamid al Ghazali (rahimahullah)

Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny? (Surah ar-Rahman)
