Pride of Worship


Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem



“Do not become proud merely because you worship often,
for consider what happened to Iblees (shaytaan) after he spent a great deal of time worshiping.” 

Hazrat Hasan Al-Basri (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh)

Humility



Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem


"Humility is part of noble character and
arrogance is the habit of villains.
Humility inherits love and contentment inherits comfort.”

“The highest of people in status are those 
who do not see their status,
and the greatest of them in grace are those 
who do not see their grace.”


Imam Shafi’i (Rahmatullahi ‘Alaih)

Companions


Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem



“You should look for sincere companions, for you will be happy with them. They will be a source of pleasure at times of ease and a support at times of calamity.

Think positively of your brother until he does something that justifies your keeping away from him, and keep away from your enemy, and beware of your friend except those who are trustworthy, and there is no one who is trustworthy except one who fears Allah.

Do not keep company with an evildoer lest you be influenced by his evil, and do not tell him your secrets. Consult those who fear Allah about your affairs.”

~ Hazrat Umar (Radhiyallahu ‘Anhu)
