(3) Among the finest works written on the lives of saintly scholars and their struggles in the pursuit of knowledge is the well-known book by Shaykh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah رح, "Pages from the Patience of the Scholars in the Pursuit and Attainment of Knowledge."

[Tameem @thaanwi2]

(2)… …and to reflect on the anecdotes from the lives of the pious predecessors and saintly scholars of the past, for their life stories, sayings, and struggles serve as a source of motivation and help lift a person out of laziness and lethargy.

[Tameem @thaanwi2]

1- A common complaint among students of knowledge, wayfarers on the path to Allah Ta‘ala, and anyone striving to practise their dīn is a lack of motivation or a sense of complacency.

Hakim al-Ummah Ml. Ashraf Ali Thanwi advised students and sāliks to read the stories…

إِذا غامَرتَ في شَرَفٍ مَرومٍ
فَلا تَقنَع بِما دونَ النُجومِ

فَطَعمُ المَوتِ في أَمرٍ صَغ��رٍ
كَطَعمِ المَوتِ في أَمرٍ عَظيمِ

~ المتنبّي

قال الإمام الشافعي رحمه الله تعالى:

"…ينبغي للعالم أن يكون له خبيئة من عمل فيما بينه وبين الله، غير العلم، فإن العلم غالبه ظاهر للناس، وكل ما ظهر للناس من علم أو عمل كان قليل الجدوى في الآخرة…"

The 6 fasts of Shawwal teaches us the importance of follow-through, constancy and steadfastness in deeds.

[Tameem @thaanwi2]

The 6 fasts of #Shawwāl are a demonstration of our gratitude to Allah Ta'ālā for the blessings of #Ramadan.

~ Ibn Rajab Hanbali رحمه الله

[Tameem @thaanwi2]

And all the spiritual blessings of the last 10 days are concentrated in the night of Qadr.

If you did not utilize your time properly the entire Ramadan, then the few most powerful nights are still remaining. [2/2]

[Tameem @thaanwi2]

All of the spiritual blessings of the entire year are concentrated in the month of Ramadan.

And all the spiritual blessings of Ramadan are concentrated in the last 10 days… [1/2]

[Tameem @thaanwi2]

Always remember: the discomfort for the nafs is a comfort for the ruh. That which is a punishment for the nafs, is a remedy and ointment for the ruh. That which is torture for the nafs is food for the soul.

The discomfort of the nafs is the nourishment of the ruh.

[Tameem @thaanwi2]

Siyām & Qiyām (fasting & standing in prayer) is the duty of the Angels. Those who imitate the angels will attain angelic qualities.
