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...

وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Teacher-Student
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?

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.

Sweet Madinah....
We looked through a few pictures she took and the above caught my attention. It was taken from her hotel window around dusk...The umbrellas are slowly opening to provide shade to the musallees of the Masjidun nabawi (saw)...
Ahhh Madinah....
My wish is Madinah.
My heart is Madinah.
My shelter is Madinah.
My moon is Madinah.
My axis is Madinah.
My heaven is Madinah.

Tasbeeh or Istighfaar??
Ibn Al-Jawzee was once asked:"Is it better for me to make Tasbeeh (glorify Allah) or to make Istighfaar (seek forgiveness)?"
He replied, "The dirty robe is more in need of soap than perfume".

When my Lord says to me....
روى ابن الجوزي عن أبي حامد الخلفاني أنه قال لأحمد بن حنبل رحمه الله :
يا أبا عبد الله هذه القصائد الرقاق التي في ذكر الجنة والنار أي شيء تقول فيها ؟
فقال : مثل أي شيء ؟ قلت : يقولون : إذا ما قال لي ربي أما استحييت تعصيني وتخفي الذنب من خلقي وبالعصيان تأتيني ؟
فقال : أعد علىَّ فأعدت عليه
فقام ودخل بيته وردَّ الباب فسمعت نحيبه من داخل البيت
وهو يقول : إِذَا مَا قَــال لِـــي رَبِّي أَمَّا اسْتَحْيَيْت تَعْصِيْنِي
فبكى حتى أصبح له صوتاً كبكاء الأطفال ويقول تلامذة الإمام كاد يهلك من كثرة البكاء
It is reported that one of the companions of Imam Ahmad recited the following poem to him. This caused the Imam to suddenly leave the gathering and enter his house where he could be heard reciting the first verse and weeping loudly. The students remarked that the imam cried so much that it was as though he would die.

Rights of our teachers...
I have seen that the biggest right upon a person, is the right of a teacher
And it is the one which deserves to be protected and safeguarded the most upon a Muslim
How true it is that the person who has taught you one letter deserves that
you gift him a thousand dirham.

Character of a Sahabi...
In the time(caliphate) of Umar ibn al Khattab, there was a sahabi
Narrations mention that this sahabi opened a shop.
One day a Christian came to this shop to buy something. The sahabi
So this Christian goes to the Christians shop and after a while he returns to the sahabi’s shop. The sahabi
The Christian said, ‘i got what i wanted but i want something else.'
The Sahabi
The Christian replies, ‘ I want this faith that you have’
The Sahabi
The Christian said,’No, no, no. My heart bears witness that if this is the character of a mere companion of the Prophet, then what must have been the character of the Prophet
And then the Christian embraced Islam.

Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi {Rahmatullah Alayh} once said:
"BLINDNESS is better for the EYE which does NOT derive lesson from the creation of Allah Ta'ala.
DUMBNESS is better for the TONGUE which does NOT make the Thikr of Allah Ta'ala.
DEAFNESS is better for the EAR which does NOT listen to the truth & DEATH is better for the BODY which does NOT worship Allah Ta'ala....
