Assalam alaykum,
May I have the pleasure of sharing the following quotations with you, from respected minds in the religion of Islam for your perusal. They carry notable messages, with great potentials of making us be good Muslims on the Right Path. Here we are:--
1) "THE PRACTICES (Awrad) OF THE FAITHFUL (Siddiqun) ARE FASTING,
PRAYER, RECITATION OF ZIKR, READING OF QUR'AN, GUARDING OF THE
PRIVATE PARTS, THE TURNING OF THE LOWER SELF FROM DESIRES,
ENJOINING WHAT IS HALAL AND FORBIDDING WHAT IS PROHIBITED".--Sidi Abu Hasan Ash-Shadhdhuli.
2) "THE QUR'AN IS LIKE A FRIEND..THE LONGER THE FRIENDSHIP LASTS THE MORE
YOU WILL KNOW OF ITS SECRETS, AS A FRIEND DOESN'T REVEAL HIS SECRECTS
TO SOMEONE WHO SITS WITH HIM FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN LEAVES".-Muhammad al-Awaji.
3) "NOBILITY LIES IN MODESTY; GREATNESS LIES IN FEAR OF GOD; AND FREEDOM
LIES IN CONTENTMENT."--Ibrahim Ibn Shayban.
4) "WHEN THE HEART FINDS SOLACE IN SOMETHING OTHER THAN GOD MOST HIGH,
IT IS BARRED FROM SMELLING THE FRAGRANCE OF CERTAINTY."--Sahl Ibn Abdullah.
5) "CERTAINTY PROMPTS THE SERVANT TO CUT SHORT HIS HOPES [for the things of
this world]; CUTTING SHORT ONE'S HOPES, IN TURN, PROPMTS HIM TO EMBRACE
RENUNCIATION; RENUNCIATION PRODUCES WISDOM, AND WISDOM PRODUCES
DESIRE TO PONDER UPON ONE'S FATE IN THE HEREAFTER."--Dhu'l Nun al-Misri.
