Physical Beauty And Knowldege

"When Allah granted Prophet Yusuf physical beauty it caused him to be locked up in the prison.

But when Allah granted him knowledge (when he interpreted the dream of the king) it not only took him out of prison but elevated his rank in society.

Clearly showing us the virtue of knowledge, and that physical beauty does not mean a thing."

-- Ibn Al-Qayyim

perfection of Allah's ihsan

"From the perfection of Allah's ihsan is that He allows His slave to taste the bitterness of the break before the sweetness of the mend. So He does not break his believing slave, except to mend him. And He does not withhold from him, except to give him. And He does not test him (with hardship), except to cure him."

--Ibn Ul Qayyim

Fear

When you fear the creation, you feel repelled by it and run away from it,

but when you fear the Creator, you feel close to Him and run towards Him.

-- Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah (ra)

Knowing The Deep From Tariq Ramadan

And once again, when I was just deeply scratched and ragged by some of the ideas and situations of life, in the very next morning, I found a video of Professor Ramadan, I just finished a half an hour soul-searching lecture. And Yes! for Allah's blessings, I got my answers out there!! How miraculous is the greatness of my Lord, He is too sweet to send me the very meaning of my life and thoughts which was barely essential to my life.

Inner Battle

I feel so deadly helpless when the horse of my ignorant emotion rushes desperately while my conservative knowledgeable emotion fails to control it pulling back the chain... the other me observes this peculiar fight in utmost despair... fool emotions, i know u are there to destroy me entirely....

Whom to Obey

O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the (Prophetic) Messenger and those in authority from amongst you, then if you have a dispute concerning any matter, refer it to Allah and the (Prophetic) Messenger if you believe in Allah and the Last Day (of Jedgement). That is better and very good in the end. 

-- (Surah Nisa, 4:59)
