Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak used to often stay at home alone, 
so he was asked, “Don’t you get lonely?”

Hopes of forgiveness have deceived some people until they left the world as bankrupts, that is devoid of good works.

You build that which you will not live in; you work and work and you die in them. You gather up that which you will not consume and you have hopes which you will never have. The people before you got deceived by the dunya (world) so they gathered up homes and wealth…and all it did was take them away from the akhira (afterlife).
Scholar Name: Abu Ad-Darda'

Our eternal homes are in the akirah! That is what WE SHOULD BE working for!

Yearning for Allah and His meeting is like the gentle breeze blowing upon the heart, extinguishing the blaze of the Dunya. Whosoever caused his heart to settle with his Lord shall be in a state, calm and tranquil, and whosoever sent it amongst the people shall be disturbed and excessively perturbed.
Scholar Name: Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah





May Allah forgive us all Amin.
