Akhlaaq-Tasawwuf

Real wealth

"Wealth does not emanate / ensue from a lot of fortunes, but (real) wealth is independance (which is found) in the heart." (Saheeh Bukhari)

Explanation:

Anger

"When a person is angry, Shaitan plays with him just like the children play with a ball." (Imam Al-Ghazali Rahmatullahi alayh)

Note:- This applies to unjustified anger. That is, when a person is angry for his own interest. However, if a person is angry because of Deen, this does not apply because this kind of anger is a sign of perfect Imaan. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said in a Hadith:

Pen’s down

Whether you live for one day on earth or for 100 days; whether you live for one year or for 100 years, finally, you will have to go through a stage called death.

Death is a truth or a reality that everyone accepts, regardless of their tendencies or religious beliefs. That is why the Qur'aan-e-Kareem called death as "Al-Yaqeen" which means certitude.

Who am I?

If you want to know exactly who you are, you must study yourself when you urinate or excrete. That is when you know how insignificant you are. If you keep this in mind, you will stop speaking a lot.

[English version of "Who am I?" – Al Jamiat – Vol.3 No.4]

Speaking

Allah Ta’ala has honoured Insaan by giving him the ability to speak and express himself. Just like all other favours of Allah Ta’ala, we must be very grateful to Allah Ta’ala for this favour also. To show gratitude for this favour, we should always use it for things that will be beneficial for us in Dunya and Aakhirah such as Tilawat-ul-Qur’an, Zikrullah, Durud Shareef, etc.

A sick heart and its treatment

A person who has acquired a lot of knowledge and has got degrees such as B.A., M.A. or Ph.D., etc., without knowing Allah Ta’ala, knows nothing. Knowing Allah Ta’ala is a knowledge that is more essential than all other knowledge.

How will you know if you know Allah Ta’ala?

Hadith: Three categories of people, whose eyes will not see the fire (hell)

"There are three categories of people, whose eyes will not see the fire (hell):

(First) The eyes that have guarded in the path of Allah. (Second) The eyes that have shed tears out of fear for Allah and (third) the  eyes that have refrained from (looking at) prohibited things." (At-Tabrani)
