Ibn al-Jawzī may Allah have mercy on him:

"O brothers, the years are like phases, the months are like miles, the days are like yards, and breaths are like footsteps; good deeds are like your capital wealth and sins are like highway robbers; Paradise is like the profit earned from the journey, and Hellfire is the loss. For this reason, the pious make good use of all the time they have, trading good deeds at the marketplace of worship and therefore abandoning worldly pleasures."

📖 [Seeds Of Admonishment And Reform, Pg 190 |]

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet; said, "A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which pleases Allah without giving it much importance, and because of that Allah will raise him to degrees (of reward): a slave (of Allah) may utter a word (carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire."

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُنِيرٍ، سَمِعَ أَبَا النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ يَعْنِي ابْنَ دِينَارٍ ـ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً، يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَاتٍ، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُلْقِي لَهَا بَالاً يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ ‏"‌‏.‏

Sahih al-Bukhari(6478).

The Hadith On The Repentance Of Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyyad

Al-Fudayl Ibn Musa Rahimahullah Said: “Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyyad Was A Highway Robber Who Used To Rob The Path Between Abeeward And Sarkhas. The Cause Of His Repentance Was That He Was In Love With A Young Girl. So While He Was Climbing A Wall Towards Her, He Heard A Reciter Reciting: Has Not The Time Come For The Hearts Of Those Who Believe (In The Oneness Of Allah – Islamic Monotheism) To Be Affected By Allah’s Reminder (This Quran) [57:16]

So When He Heard It, He Said: “Of Course, My Lord! [Now] Is The Time. So He Returned At Night To A Ruined Land And Found Some Passers. Some Of Them Said “We Should Travel” And Some Said “We Will Wait For The Morning, For Verily Fudayl Is On The Path And He Will Rob Us.” So I [Al-Fudyal] Thought And Said “I Travel In The Night In Disobedience And People Here From The Muslims Are Afraid Of Me. I Do Not See Except Allah Is Driving Me Towards Them Restrained [From Evil]. O Allah! I Repent To You And I Make [Part] Of My Repentance [Living] Near The Sacred House”

[Reported By Bayhaqi In Shu’ab Al-Imaan (No.6935). The Chain Of Transmission Was Graded Saheeh By The Verifier, Mukhtaar Ahmad An-Nadwi (9/429)]

"It is a long journey between human being and being human. The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection."

Hakim bin Mu'awiyah narrated from his father, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بَحْرَ الْمَاءِ وَبَحْرَ الْعَسَلِ وَبَحْرَ اللَّبَنِ وَبَحْرَ الْخَمْرِ ثُمَّ تُشَقَّقُ الأَنْهَارُ بَعْدُ".
"Indeed in Paradise there is a sea of water, and a sea of honey, and a sea of milk, and a sea of wine, then the rivers shall split off afterwards."

📖 Hasan | Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2571

Imam ibn al Qayyim (rahimahullah):

"The person who treats others kindly and thinks well of them, will find that his intention will remain true, he will feel at ease, his heart will be sound and Allah will protect him from evil and calamity."

Madarij al-Salikeen 2/511

Ibn Taymīyyah رحمه الله stated:

Whoever interprets the Qur’ān or the Hadīth, and his interpretation is in a way other than the known tafsīr from the Sahābah and the Tābi’īn, then he is a slanderer against Allāh, an atheist in the verses of Allāh, and a distorter of words from its place.

[من فسر القرآن أو الحديث وتأوله على غير التفسير المعروف عن الصحابة والتابعين، فهو مفتر على الله، ملحد في آيات الله، محرف للكلم عن مواضعه!].اهـ.

FORBID THE EVIL AND COMMAND THE GOOD

Al-Imam Sufyaan (Ath-Thawri) said:

"No one should command the good and forbid the evil except he who has three qualities:

• He is kind when he commands the good and he is kind when he forbids the evil.

• He is just when he commands the good and he is just when he forbids the evil.

• And he is knowledgeable about that which he commands to and he is knowledgeable about that which he forbids." *

All of these are MYTHS/ SUPERSTITIONS & HAVE NO BASIS IN ISLAM

Instead of fearing Allah, ur fearing these myths

So ur worshiping & depending on these myths instead of depending on Allah.

"And the miskīn, the true miskīn, is the one who wasted his life learning what he does not practice, thus he looses the pleasures of the Dunyā and the goodness of the Ākhirah. (In addition to) Coming forth bankrupt (on the Day of Judgment) with strong evidences against himself.

Obstacles in the path of Seeking Knowledge

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“There is no more glorious objective than having the knowledge of Allāh, His love and company, longing for His meeting and enjoying the sweetness of mentioning His name. This is also the most glorious kind of happiness in the world and the Hereafter; and it is the goal that is sought in its own right.

When the servant leaves this world for the Hereafter, only then does he understands true and perfect happiness. Yet, in the world he cannot reach perfect happiness due to hindrances and tribulations he meets.”

[The Way to Patience & Gratitude | Pg. 190-191]

How Islam Deals with Sadness???

Allāh ﷻ knows best for his creation. Allāh can feel our sorrows. Pain and can see our tears. Allāh has the best command on human psyche. When we put our matters on Allāh. The pain definitely subsides.

Allāh is the only one who give relief to broken hearts and shattered souls.
Allāh says in Qur'an.

"If Allāh helps you. None can overcome you; And if Allāh forsakes you. Who is there after Allāh that can help you??? And in Allāh (Alone) let believers put their trust.”

{ 📖 Q.S Ali - Imran | 3:160 }

Sh. ʿAbdur-Razzāq al-Badr Hafiẓahullāh said:

“From the GREATEST forms of kindness towards parents (Birr al-Wālidayn) is to make DŪʿĀ for (Allāh's) Mercy and Forgiveness upon them — be they alive or dead — with the condition that they are or were Muslims..”

If we all remain silent, who will explain the truth from falsehood

DEEN IS SINCERITY.

Ash-Shaikh ‘Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sa’dee’s (rahimahullah) - Explanation of the Hadeeth: "Deen is Sincerity”

On the authority of Tameem Ad-Daaree (radhiyallaahu ‘anhu-may Allaah be pleased with him) who said that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam-may Allaah send blessing and peace upon him) said,

الدين النصيحة ، الدين النصيحة ، الدين النصيحة . قالوا : لمن يا رسول الله ؟ قال : لله ، ولكتابه ، ولرسوله ، ولأئمة المسلمين وعامتهم

“The religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity.” They said, “To who O Messenger of Allaah?” He said,

❤ “To Allaah,
❤ His Book,
❤ His Messenger,
❤ Imaams (Leaders) of the Muslims, and
❤ Common folk.” (Reported by Muslim)

The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam-may Allaah send blessing and peace upon him) repeated this word (Naseehah – sincerity) showing the importance of the status (of it), and giving guidance to the Ummah (Muslim nation) that they should know with true knowledge that religion, all of it – its apparent aspects and its internal aspects – is contained in sincerity. And it (sincerity) is the complete establishment of these five rights.

❤ Sincerity to Allaah is acknowledging the oneness of Allaah, and His uniqueness in His perfect attributes in a manner that no one shares with Him in them in any way whatsoever. It is also the establishment of His worship, both outwardly (with the actions) and inwardly (with the heart). And it is to turn to Him in every time with worship and servitude, and asking Him with hope and fear, along with repenting to Him and constantly asking His forgiveness. This is because the slave of Allaah will definitely have something of shortcomings regarding the obligations of Allaah, or commission of some of the forbidden things. Thus, with continuous repentance and constant seeking of forgiveness, the person’s deficiency is made up for, and his actions and speech are perfected.

❤ Sincerity to Allaah’s Book, then that is by memorizing it, and contemplating it, and learning its words and meanings, and striving to act according to it within oneself and with others.

❤ Sincerity to the Messenger, then it is by believing in him, loving him, and placing him - in regards to love - before oneself, one's wealth and one's children. And it is following him in the fundamentals of the religion and its branches. And it is giving precedence to his speech over the speech of everyone else. It is also striving to follow his guidance and aiding his religion.

❤ Sincerity to the Imaams (leaders) of the Muslims – and they are their authority figures, such as the Great Imaam (the Khaleefah), as well as the rulers (Umaraa’), and the judges, and all of those who have some form of authority, whether it be general or specific. Sincerity to them is in believing in their authority, and listening to them and obeying them, and encouraging the people to do so. It is also doing whatever one is able to do to give them proper direction (guidance) and alerting them to everything that would benefit them and benefit the people, and assisting them in establishing their obligation.

❤ Sincerity to the common folk of the Muslims, then it is by loving for them what one would love for himself, and hating for them what one would hate for himself, and making effort in that regard according to one’s ability. For verily whoever loves something, he strives for it, and he makes effort in making it a reality and perfecting it.

So the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam-may Allaah send blessing and peace upon him) explained sincerity with these five matters, which comprise the establishment of Allaah’s rights, the rights of His Book, the rights of His Messenger, and the rights of all of the Muslims with their different circumstances and statuses. And that contains the religion in its entirety. And nothing is left except that it is included within this comprehensive and all-inclusive statement. And Allaah knows best.
