Heart-Softeners and Sermons

The dwellers of Paradise will see the upper abodes of Paradise as you see the stars in the sky

Among those who were before you, there was a man who had an injury. He was impatient, so he took a knife and made a cut in his hand and bled to death. Allah Almighty said: My slave hastened to bring about his demise; I have forbidden Paradise for him

O Abu Sa‘īd, whoever is pleased with Allah as a Lord, with Islam as a religion, and with Muhammad as a messenger, Paradise is guaranteed for him

Do not envy one another, do not raise prices by overbidding against one another, do not hate one another, do not turn your backs on one another, and do not undercut one another in trade; and be, O slaves of Allah, our brothers

Look at those who are below you, and do not look at those who are above you, for that is more likely to hold you back from belittling the blessing of Allah upon you

There are two blessings in which many people incur loss: health and free time

Successful is the one who embraces Islam, is provided with mere subsistence, and Allah makes him content with what He has given him

Whoever among you wakes up in the morning healthy in his body, secure in his dwelling, and has his food for the day, it is as if the whole world has been given to him

For you is what you wished, and the like of it along with it

Verily, the believer in Paradise will have a tent made of a single hollow pearl, the length of which is sixty miles. The believer will have wives therein whom he will visit in turn, and they will not see each other

Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said: I have prepared for My righteous slaves what no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, and no human heart has ever imagined,

The first group to enter Paradise will be like the full moon on its brightest night, and those who will follow them will be like the brightest shining star in the sky

Whoever throws himself from a mountain and kills himself will be in Hellfire, falling down into it and abiding therein eternally forever

Give me your pledge that you will not associate anything with Allah, that you will not steal, that you will not commit adultery

Islam began as something strange, and it will return to being strange as it began. So, glad tidings to the strangers

Beware of insignificant sins

There are seven whom Allah Almighty will shade in His Shade on a Day when there will be no shade but His Shade
