Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“The most precious reward during life is to busy yourself with the most suitable and useful matters in their exact and suitable time.”
[Al-Fawā’id | Pg. 55]
An elder in our mosque is punctual for all prayers, despite having a day job. He had a major operation in the morning. He asked one of the local doctors whether he was at the top of the waiting list so he could make it back for Dhur Salah. After the operation, I met him at the mosque the same day. Understandably, he was in a weak state, so I told him he should have prayed at home. He replied that his heart finds it difficult to pray at home.
Truly, those whose hearts are attached to the mosque find it difficult to pray anywhere else. Among the people who will be under the shade of Allah’s throne on the Day of Judgment are those whose hearts were attached to the Masjid, as mentioned by our beloved Prophet ﷺ.
I honestly envy people like this, and they inspire me immensely. They might not be the most knowledgeable, but their actions and love for Allah are admirable.

Imām Bukhārī’s advice to his students:
"Be delighted, because the people of amusements are busy in their fun and games, manufacturers are busy with manufacturing, business people are busy with their businesses, and as for you, then you are busy with the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions."
{سير أعلام النبلاء حجم ١٢، صحفة ٤٤٥}
Prophet ﷺ said,
“Allah is self respecting and a believer is also self respecting and the respect of Allah is injured if a believer does what He has forbidden him to do.”
📚 Muslim 2761
Al-Hāfidh ibn Rajab رحمه الله said:
"Do not think that poverty lies in the loss of wealth. Rather, the loss of deen is among the greatest of poverty."

Ibn al-Qayyim:
“The heart is opened by showing kindness to the creation & benefiting them with various acts of kindness, such as wealth and physical efforts. Generosity expands the heart and cures the soul, while stinginess constricts the heart.”

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
“A protection from envy is giving charity and goodness as much as you are able. This has an amazing effect on repelling calamities, the evil eye, and the evil of envy. If there were nothing other than the experiences of the nations of old to prove this, it would be sufficient.
The evil eye and envy are not close to harming the one who gives charity and does good towards the creation; and if it befalls him, it is easy, and his ending is praiseworthy. This is because his gratitude is a protection for his blessings.
The envier's heart will not cool until the envied loses their blessing, and the slave does not protect his blessing with anything better than gratitude. In contrast, nothing exposes the blessing to becoming lost like ingratitude.”

Ibn Al Qayyim Rahimahumullah said:
"A woman who takes you away from Allāh is a punishment, not a blessing, even if she pleases your eyes."
