Know that the state of one's religious and worldly affairs depend upon soundness of one's reflection. Anyone who has a share of it has an abundant share of everything good. It has been said : 'An hour's reflection is better than a year's worship.' 'Ali, may God ennoble his face, has said: 'There is no worship like reflection.' And one of the gnostics; may God have mercy on them all, said: 'Reflection is the lamp of the heart; if it departs the heart will have no light.' Reflections by Imam Al-Haddad (ra)

Allah supports His slave as long as the slave is supportive of his brother; and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah makes that path easy, leading to Paradise for him; The people who assemble in a house from the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah, learning it and teaching, there descends upon them the tranquillity, and mercy covers them, the angels flock around them, and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him; and he who lags behind in doing good deeds, his high descent will not make him go ahead.” (Muslim)

Narrated Anas: Allah’s Messenger said, “When a disbeliever performs any good deed, he is rewarded for it in this world; and in the case of a Muslim, Allah stores up his good acts for him in the Hereafter and provides him with subsistence in this life due to his obedience.” (Muslim)

O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in respect of my Religion, my livelihood and the consequences of my affairs, then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. But if You know this matter to be bad for my Religion, my livelihood or the consequences of my affairs, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it, and grant me power to do good whatever it may be, and cause me to be contented with it.

The pens are withdrawn and the pages are dry. (Tirmidhi)

Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight he thanks [Allah], thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shown resignation (and endures it patiently), there is a good for him in it.

Whoever meets Allah, without associating partners with Him, will enter Paradise. (Kitaab At-Tawheed)

Should I not inform you of that which I fear for you even more than the dangers of Dajjal? It is the hidden idolatry: A person stands to pray and he beautifies his prayer because he sees the people looking at him. (Sunan Ibn Majah)

Idolatry is more hidden in my Ummah than the creeping of ants across a great smooth stone on a black night... (Tirmidhi)

Honesty descended from the Heavens and settled in the roots of the hearts of men ?faithful believers?, and then the Qur'an was revealed and the people read the Qur'an, -and learned from it- and also learned it from the Sunnah. Both the Qur'an and Sunnah strengthened their -the faithful believers'- honesty. (Bukhari)

Rejoice and hope for what will please you! By Allah, I am not afraid of your poverty but I am afraid that you will lead a life of luxury as past nations did, whereupon you will compete with each other for it, as they competed for it, and it will destroy you as it destroyed them. (Bukhari)

Those who are most aware of death and prepare themselves for it, are the wisest of people. (Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 4, Number 13)

Do not envy one another; do not hate one another; do not turn away from another; and do not undercut one another, but be you. O servants of Allah, brothers. (Muslim)

Fear Allah wherever you are, and follow up a bad deed with a good one and it will wipe it out, and behave well towards people. (Abdul Wadoud, Forty Hadith An-Nawawis, translated by Ezzeddin Ibrahim and Denys Johnson-Davies, Third Edition, 1985)

There is nothing heavier in the scales than good character. (Ahmad ibn Hanbal)

Bad conduct destroys divine service as condiment destroys honey. (Imam Ghazzali's Ihya Ulum-Id-Din,Volume III, p.52)

Honor a believer for his religion. Think him superior for good conduct and wisdom. (Imam Ghazzali's Ihya Ulum-Id-Din,Volume III, p.53)

Verily, Allah is Graceful and He loves Grace. Pride is disdaining the truth ?out of self-conceit? and contempt for the people." (Muslim)

Do not turn away a poor man...even if all you can give is half a date. If you love the poor and bring them near you...Allah will bring you near Him on the Day of Resurrection. (Tirmidhi)

He who seeks repentance ?from the Lord? before the rising of the Sun from the west ?before the Day of Resurrection?, Allah turns to him with Mercy. (Bukhari)

Paradise is nearer to any of you than the strap of his shoe, and so is the ?Hell? Fire. (Ahmad ibn Hanbal)

Belief is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers… (Bukhari)

I will joke, but I only speak the truth. It is not lawful for a Muslim to frighten his brother. Do not dispute with your brother, not joke with him in mocking terms. Shame on him who speaks lies in order to entertain others. One cannot be a good believer until he ceases to tell lies, even in jest, and to dispute, even if he is in the right. Do not speak lies, even in jest. (Bukhari)

A believer loves for others what he loves for himself. (Imam Ghazzali's Ihya Ulum-Id-Din,VolumeIII, p.68)

Don't hate one another, don't envy one another don't sell over the sale to another, don't dispute with one another and don't back-bite one another. The servants of Allah are brethren to one another. (Imam Ghazzali's Ihya Ulum-Id-Din,Volume III, p.124)

The habits of earlier generations have attacked you–envy and hatred. Hatred is shaving. You will not enter Paradise till you believe. You will not believe till you love one another. Shall I not inform you what thing will establish you on it? Spread peace among you. (Imam Ghazzali's Ihya Ulum-Id-Din,Volume III, p.167)

The best things that a man leaves behind after his death are a virtuous child who invokes Allah for him, a perpetual charity, the reward of which reaches him, and a beneficial knowledge which remains useful after him. (Abu Katada Hadith)

One of a child's duties to his father is to make his name and behavior fitting. (Al Hafiz ibn al-Dayba al-Shaybani, Taysir al-'usul ilaJami al-'usul, Volume 2, p. 512)

Be hospitable to your children and raise them to be well-behaved ... (Al Hafiz ibn al-Dayba al-Shaybani, Taysir al-'usul ilaJami al-'usul, Volume 2, p. 515)

The whole world is a provision, and the best object of benefit of the world is the pious woman. (Muslim)

The most perfect believer in faith is one who is the best of them in good conduct. The best of you is one who treats best with his wife among you. (Imam Ghazzali's Ihya Ulum-Id-Din, VolumeII, p.32)

The best of you, is the one who is best to his wives, and I am the best of you toward my wives. (Imam Ghazzali's Ihya Ulum-Id-Din, VolumeII, p.32)

...Shall I inform you about the people of the Fire? They comprise every cruel, violent, proud and conceited person. (Bukhari)

Among the people of Hell are there those who will be immersed in fire to their ankles, some to their knees, some to their waists, and some to their throats. (Muslim)

When the inhabitants of the Garden have gone to the Garden and the inmates of the Fire have gone to the Fire, death will be called and placed between the Garden and the Fire. Afterward the following announcement will be made: "Inhabitants of the Garden! There is no more death! Inmates of the Fire! There is no more death!" This will increase the delight of the inhabitants of the Garden and the grief of the inmates of the Fire. (Muslim)

When the dwellers of Paradise enter Paradise, an announcer will call: (you have a promise from Allah that) you will live therein and you will never die; you will stay healthy therein and you will never fall ill; you will stay young and you will never become old; you will be under a constant bliss and you will never feel miserable. (Muslim)
