Abu`d Darda –
” The complete form of taqwa is to fear Allaah so much that one begins to fear Him from the potential sin in a mustard seed and until one leaves what might be halaal in the fear that it could be haraam.”

Al-Murrudi’ reported that he asked Imam Ahmed: “How are you today?”

He replied:‘How can I be while I am required by my Lord to perform obligatory acts of worship,by my Prophet (‘alayhi salaat wa salaam) to practice his Sunnah,by the two angels to improve my deeds, and my soul urges me to follow it,Shaytaan pushes me to commit evil deeds,the Angel of death is waiting to take my life,and my children are asking me to provide for them?’”

[Siyaar a'laam an Nubalaa 11/227]

A woman is a flower vase of beauty and fragrance, so smell her gently, do not wrestle with her .
[Ali Ibn Abi Thalib R.A]

''If you see that your[b] heart is becoming hard [/b]and your body is becoming weak and your provision is decreasing,
know that you are involved in that which doesn't concern you.''
- Malik ibn Dinar

"To completely trust in Allah is to be like a child who knows deeply that even if he does not call for the mother, the mother is totally aware of his condition and is looking after him."

[Imam Al Ghazali]

azharuddin:

"Don't depend too much on anyone in this world because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness."

[Ibn Taymiyyah]

Nice.

azharuddin:

'', Evil is[b] not overcome[/b] with evil. Set off two fires & see if you can put out one with the other. Evil is overcome with good, like fire is put out with water''.

[Luqman al Hakeem]

azharuddin:

''A wrong deed which you regret in your heart is[b] thousand times better [/b]than the good deed that makes you feel Proud."

(Ali Ibn Abi Thalib R.A )

Words of wisdom.

azharuddin:

''A wrong deed which you regret in your heart is[b] thousand times better [/b]than the good deed that makes you feel Proud."

As salaam 'alaykum
being proud of a good deed is one thing, boasting/showing off of it is another. I think what was intended is the later not d former, as being proud(happy) of a good deed dat one does helps in d continuity of such deed.
I believe we are all proud of being muslims.

Wa alaikum salaam bro,

What proud here means (as to my knowledge) is being satisfied by ones good deeds. Thinking one has done enough. No one can do 'enough' of good deeds, we should always be humble. Being satisfied with ones good deeds(even without showing off) makes way for arrogance and also we wont try for doing more sunnah deeds if we are already satisfied.

I will give you an example. Its a comparison of two men. First person goes to the Mosque for every salah and he comes early so that he stands in the first row(which is very rewarding). The Second person does salah, but at home. One day the first person becomes late and misses the first row and is standing in the last row. At the same time the other guy decides to go to the Mosque for once and is standing next to him in the last row. Even though both of them are doing Salah side by side, the state of mind of them is very different. The first person is sad and angry with himself that he didnt come early for Salah. The second person is proud and happy with himself that he came for Salah to mosque after a long time. Next day , the first person tries more hard to come early to salah and the second person who is happy with himself doesnt even bother try to go to the mosque.

Basically we should set our standards high, Only then we will try harder to come closer to Allah. If we are happy with ourselves we will stop pushing ourselves and also we will stop focusing on ourselves and start focusing on others faults. I hope you understand bro.

Allah knows best.

Jazaka Llahu khaira
if as u said proud here means being satisfied wit ones good deed and den relenting, now i understand.

What i was tryin to prevent was doin a good deed/sunnah while one abhors it or, is unhappy wit it, for example a bro keepin his beard or a sis usin d hijab/veil while dislikin it, as dis is part of wat nullifies ones islam, as listed by scholars

Yes you are right, one should not dislike ones good deeds either.

al-Fudayl ibn 'Iyaad said:
"As long as people are doing fine, their true nature is concealed,
but when calamity [/b]strikes, their true natures are revealed,
so the [b]believer [/b]resorts to his Imaan (faith) and
the [b]hypocrite resorts to his hypocrisy."
