“O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam” (Q3: 102)
Listen to the inner rhythm of the men of taqwa. “I have seen nothing more fearful than Hell but those wishing to avoid it were sleeping and I have not Seen anything more pleasant than Paradise but those wishing to gain It were sleeping-Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) (Tirmidhi)
"In the begining faith appears in the heart as a thin white spot and just as faith progresses the white spot keeps spreading and when the' faith becomes complete, the heart is fully enlightened. Hypocrisy appears as a black spot and its blackness continues to grow deeper and deeper and when he becomes-a complete hypocrite, the whole heart becomes dark and black and a person starts to commit offences." - Ali Ibn Abu Talib.
If you are near and dear to the Almighty, it is no harm if the world does not recognise you. If you are high in the estimation of Allah, it is no loss to you if the world does not praise you. If you are successful in the eyes of Allah, do not fear for your defeat in the Circumstances of life. If you are loved by Allah, no harm if the whole world hates you." - Hazrat Abu Hazim.
