Stop grumbling

“Let none of you complain about time, for Allah is time.’

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 56)

Words carry weight, be it good or bad

“A man speaks what is pleasing to Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result that it does, and Allah will write for him His good pleasure for it until the day when he meets Him. And a man speaks what excites the wrath of Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result that it does, and Allah will write His wrath for him for it until the day when he meets Him.”

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 56)

A coward & miser, but not liar!

“The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked, ‘Can the mumin be a coward?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He was asked, ‘Can the mumin be a miser?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He was asked, ‘Can the mumin be a liar?’ He said, ‘No.’ ”

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 56)

Guard your tongue!

“If a man says to his Muslim brother, ‘O kafir!’ it is true about one of them.”

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 56)

Anyone saw a dream last night?

Abu Hurayra narrates that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, left the morning prayer, he would say, “Has any of you had a dream last night? All that will remain of prophecy after me will be the true dream .”

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 52)

There is nothing as great as Allah’s Mercy

“Allah the Almighty has said: O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were then to face me, ascribing no partner to me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.
(Tirmidhi)

Everyone is a vendor of his own soul

“Purity is half of Faith. Al-hamdu lillah {Praise be to Allah}, and Subhana Allah {How far is Allah from every imperfection} fill that is between heaven and earth. Prayer is light; charity is a proof; patience is illumination; and the Quran is an argument for or against you. Everyone starts his day and is a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or bringing about its ruin.
(Muslim)

Obedience to Prophet’s teachings

“What I have forbidden to you, avoid; what I have ordered to you (to do) do as much of it as you can. It was only their excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their Prophets that destroyed those who were before you.”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

Intention is most important

“Intention determines the worth of a person’s actions and he will attain what he intends. If by immigration his aim is to please Allah and His Messenger, then his migration is for this purpose; and if he migrates seeking the attainment of some worldly object, or for the sake of marrying a woman and as such his migration will be reckoned for that particular object”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

“The case of of a believer is wonderful; there is good for him in everything, and this characteristic is exclusively for him alone. If he experiences something pleasant, he is grateful to Allah and that is good for him; and if he comes across some adversity, he is patient and submissive and that too is good for him.”
(Bukhari)

What does Allah look for?
