🌼 A pure land (and pure women and men)
🌼 Purity is like light, and a pure person is like a lamp.

🌼 The garments of male and female in God’s great contest

🌼 Jewels are a realm of communion and supplication, reflecting the remembrance of God.
🌼 If a stone can attain such a rank, what can the noblest of creation—human beings—achieve through remembering God?
🌼 God does not give His special gifts to everyone.
🌼 Beauty beyond beauty resides in the souls of pure women.
🌼 Not everyone can comprehend the greatness of a pure woman. The worth and beauty of a believing woman are beyond measure; only an enlightened eye can perceive them. She is a living sign of God.
🌼 Connection through the greatest divine means

🌼 (Hadith) The Master says: Whoever makes himself a leader of the people must first teach himself, and then teach the people.
🌼 (Hadith) Paradise is surrounded by hardships, and Hell is surrounded by desires.
🌼 Obedience to God goes hand in hand with hardship; every act of disobedience is bound up with desire.
🌼 (Hadith) May God have mercy on the one who eradicates their desires. (Paraphrased)
🌼 (Hadith) A believer does not pass day or night without continually holding the self to account, whether or not they are seeking to commit a sin. They demand much of themselves and always seek to do more good.
🌼 God has placed diamonds in hard rocks and pearls in the depths of the sea.
