🌼 Becoming one who fasts continually
🌼 When remembrance becomes part of our character, our very being becomes remembrance of God.
🌼 The Qur’an becoming part of one’s character
🌼 Only those with certainty possess noble character
🌼 Becoming the Word of God
🌼 Adorning our souls with many fragrances
🌼 Values turned upside down!
🌼 Whoever does not strengthen their intellect will show no mercy to the Imam of their time.
🌼 The braggart is a beggar before others.
🌼 Let us not get caught up in competing on the field of the Antichrist.
🌼 Fashioning an idol of oneself
🌼 Boasting about one’s flaws!
🌼 The most ill-omened kind of boasting
🌼 Blind conjuring tricks
🌼 Mirage-like spaces
🌼 The highest form of boasting!
🌼 O God, You are my provision in this world and the next.
🌼 O God, it is enough honor for me that You are my God.
