2nd post of the day.
I would love to post quotes from Ibn AlQayyim AlJawziyyah.
first and foremost, this is a brief introduction on who Ibn alQayyim is.
Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawzziya the great Muslim scholar known for his wise saying and Quotes was born in Damascus, Syria. The real name of al-Qayyim is Muhammad Ibn Abi Bakr but He was named after His father who was an attendant (Qayyim) in a school named Al-Jawzziya. Ibn Qayyim became a student of renowned Muslim Scholar Imam ibn Tayymiyah. Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya was an accomplished scholar of Islamic science and was particularly known for His commentaries.

& here are some of his quotes:
#“Repel the thought, for if you don’t, it becomes an idea. So repel the idea; for if you don’t it will become a desire. So fight against that (desire), for if you don’t, it will become a determination and a passion. And if you don’t repel that, it will become an action. And if you don’t replace it with its opposite, it will become a constant habit. So at that point, it will be difficult for you to change it.” Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

# “O people who take pleasure in a life that will vanish; falling in love with a fading shadow is sheer stupidity” Ibn al-Qayyim

# “The heart will rest and feel relief if it is settled with Allah and it will worry and be anxious if it is settled with people.” Ibn al-Qayyim

# “And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” Ibn al-Qayyim

# “The ibtilaa’ (testing) of the believer is like medicine for him. It cures him from illness. Had the illness remained it would destroy him or diminish his reward and level (in the hereafter). The tests and the trials extract these illnesses from him and prepare him for the perfect reward and the highest of degrees (in the life to come).” Ibn Qayyim

# “The scholars of evil sit at the doors of Al-Jannah (Paradise) calling the people to it with their speech, but calling to the fire with their actions; every time they speak their words to the people they rush forward whilst their actions suggest not to listen to them- for if what they had been calling to was true, they would have been the first to respond. Thus they are seemingly guides, but are in fact highway robbers.” Ibn Qayyim

Wallahu A'alam.
