“If musk and amber are placed before a man who has a cold and therefore a stuffy nose, he will not be able to appreciate their fragrance. This is not the fault of the musk or amber, but the fault of his illness. Today the Holy Quran is amongst us, but because we are diseased by our sins we are estranged from the pleasures of the Holy Book.” - Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad

Now your turn…

One Maulana has said, "Within a body there is nothing which we can imitate the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam. Our hands, feet, chest, eyes, ears, nose etc. cannot imitate the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam. **There is only one thing and that is the beard, in which we can imitate the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam. **He had a full, dense beard. We should try to imitate him in this matter.

The most excellent jihad is that for the **conquest for self **(Bukhari)

**

The best richness is richness of soul** (bukhari)

Imam Shafi`i (Allah have mercy on him) said,

** “When one wishes to speak, one must first reflect, and if there is a clear interest to be served by speaking, one speaks, while if one doubts it, one remains silent until the advantage becomes apparent.”** [Nawawi, al-Adhkar]

Sayyidi Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi (Allah have mercy on him) cautions that:

The general Prophetic way in commanding the good and forbidding the evil is to do so in a discreet, non-specific manner, in order to preserve the honor and feelings of the one who is wrongdoing to the extent possible.

“If the first inward thought is not warded off, it will generate a desire, then the desire will generate a wish, and the wish will generate an intention, and the intention will generate the action, and the action will result in ruin and divine wrath. So evil must be cut off at its root, which is when it is simply a thought that crosses the mind, from which all the other things follow on.” - Imam Al-Ghazzali in ‘Ihyaa Uloom al-Deen’

There is no good in wealth without generosity; there is no good in brotherhood without caring for one another; there is no good in a blessing that is short lived; and there is no good in supplication without sincerity. - Ali radi Allah anhu
