Restlessness

"Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.”

River of Love

The river of love has a reverse flow, he who enters will drown, he who drowns will get across.

(Amir Khusrau)

True Devotion

True devotion is for itself, not to desire Heaven nor to fear Hell.

(Hazrat Rabyia basri)

Motive

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

Molana Rumi

What to Do?

If Allah brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.
In Happy moments, praise Allah.
In Difficult moments, seek Allah.
In Quiet moments, worship Allah.
In Painful moments, trust Allah.
In Every moment, thank Allah.

Prayer

Do to me oh Allah what is worthy of Thee and not what worthy of me.

(Saadi)

To admonish your brother your brother in private is to advise him and to improve him but to admonish him publicaly is to digrace and shame him.

(Imaam Shafi)

Criticism

When someone criticizes or disagree with you a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart if you do not squash that ant atonce, it might grow into a snake or even in a dragon.
(Molana Jalaluddin Rumi)

Trial of a Friend

A friend can not be considered a friend unless he is tested in three occassions: in the time of need, behind your back andafter your death.

(Hazrat Ali)

Ease and Hardship

Ease (Yusar) and hardships (Usar) are the feathers that give strength to the wings of your faith, so that your heart and innermost being can use them to fly to the door of your Lord.

(Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jailani)

Prayer

My ALLAH it is enough for my respect that I am your person and it is enough for my pride that YOU are my God. YOU are exactely the way I desire. Thus YOU mould me the way YOU desire.

(Hazrat Ali )
