Stream of Time

Just as we shouldn't waste water that flows in a stream, we shouldn't waste the stream of time that seems so abundant today but will eventually dry up tomorrow... 

[Shaykh Husain Abdul Sattar]

“Those who believe (in Allah) and their hearts acquire tranquillity with the remembrance of Allah. 

Hear well! It is only through the remembrance of Allah that hearts acquire tranquillity” (13:28)

 وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

"Remember Allah abundantly, in order that you become successful" 

(8:45)

My Mother...

After Allah and His messenger, Muhammad ﷺ, may my life be sacrificed for you Oh my mother..

“O our Lord, be merciful to them, just as they brought me up with kindness and affection in my childhood.” 

(Aameen)

The following are dedicated to my mother..

Teacher-Student

 2 teacher-student analogies of Imam Ghazali in his Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din: 

1. A teacher is like a stamp to clay and a student is like clay. If the stamp has no character, there is no impression on clay. 

2. A teacher is like a cane and the student is like the shadow of the cane. How can the shadow of the cane be straight when the cane itself is crooked?

Tongue

جِرْمُهُ صَغِيْرٌ وَ جُرْمُهُ كَبِيْرٌ

small in magnitude but great in sin

Emptiness...

وه گل گل نہیں جس میں خوشبوں نہیں 

وه دل دل نہیں جس میں تو نہیں 

That flower is no flower devoid of fragrance

That heart is no heart devoid of you

Kings, Kitaabs and Kingdoms...

Imam Yusuf (ra) says:
"If Kings knew the pleasure we(referring to Ulama) get of reading Kitaabs(books), they would give away their Kingdoms"( Hashiya of tafseer Uthmani)
Explanantion:
Knowledge is very dear and valuable in the eyes of the ulama.The pleasure they feel from reading, learning and studying is unexplainable and it is such that if the kings were to ever feel this pleasure and love of reading, learning knowledge etc , then they would forfeit their kingdoms for it.
