Weekly Reminder

It was said to Ibrahim ibn Al Adham, "How did you attain Zuhd?" He replied, "With
three things. I saw that the grave was lonesome and that I would have no companion
therein; I saw that the path is long while I had no provisions; and I saw that the
Omnipotent would be the Judge while I had no valid argument in my defense.”

The Prophet (saws) said, “Truthfulness of love is in three things – choosing the speech of the
beloved over the speech of others, choosing the company of the beloved over the company
of others, and choosing the pleasure of the beloved over the pleasure of others.”

The Prophet (saws) said, “There will come a time for my ummah when they will love five
things and forget five others – they will love this world (dunya) and forget the next world;
they will love life and forget death; the will love palaces and forget the grave; they will love
wealth and forget the day of Account; and they will love creatures and forget the creator.”
