Everything in the universe, from cellular to stellar, is a manifestation of the Divine magnificence. For this reason, those whose minds are attached to their hearts would be astonished and amazed with everything that they see in the universe.
No matter which community a selfless believer lives in, he can always protect his faith, spirit and existence. His heart is distant from worldly possessions, status and benefits. A selfless believer is close to those suffering and in need. He lends his heart and ears to the quiet screams of the oppressed and lonely.
Even if you were to become like a bow from performing the prayer and like a nail from fasting, Allah will not accept that worship so long as you do not avoid the prohibited as well as doubtful things.
The universe, with is creation, order and harmony, is an important means of drawing lesson for those who think.
The sun of eternal happiness rises on the horizon of those who lead their entire lives in the light of the Divine commandments and who know how to pass to the Hereafter with a clear conscience.
The path leading to the horizon of maturity, which the human spirit can attain, goes through compassion and service. As for compassion and service, this is your striving to meet the needs of a needy person deprived of those bounties with which you have been favoured.
The world is a school, a place of trials, and human beings are students who are responsible for their spiritual development. The person must search for the means to improve his spirituality so that he would deserve to enter Paradise.
It is easy to reach the needy person who voices their need. We are, however, also obliged to find the indigent who cannot voice their plight and predicament.
When a person holds their tongue and refrains from speaking, both their shortcomings and skills remain hidden. (Sa’di Shirazi)
The Quran is a divine key with which any closed door can be open.
“You will never be able to attain godliness and virtue until you spend of what you love (in Allah’s cause, or to provide sustenance for the needy)…” (3:92)
Compassion is ease of conscience in this world, while it is glad tidings of endless bliss in the Hereafter.
Just as a fingerprint constitutes, in a sense, one’s identification, a believer’s contemplation and sensibility is akin to their spiritual identification.
Being certain that Allah the Almighty sees our righteous deeds sprout twigs from the branches, piety foliates its buds and reverence ripens its fruits.
In the world, the weak are in need of the powerful, the poor in need of the rich and the infirm in need of the healthy. In the Hereafter, however, the powerful are in need of the weak, the healthy in need of the infirm and the rich in need of the poor.
