A reflection for today

Know that your life is dependent on your thoughts. So, if your thoughts revolve around things that will benefit you in your religion or worldly affairs, then your life will be pleasant and happy. The opposite is also true.

— Ibn al-Jawzi - Disciplining the Soul

Abū Hāzim said, 'No servant (of Allāh) betters what is between him and other servants, and he does not spoil what is between him and Allāh, except that Allāh spoils what is between him and the servants of Allāh. Working for the sake of one face is easier than working for the sake of all faces. For if you work for the sake of that face (the face of Allāh), all faces will turn to you but if you spoil it, all faces will detest you.'

— Abū Hāzim - Disciplining the Soul

Know that if the self knows that you are serious it will also be serious and hardworking, if it knows that you are indolent it will become your master.

— Ibn al-Jawzi - Disciplining the Soul

The best of the cures for sadness is to know that one cannot bring back what he has missed, rather by feeling sad he is adding another misfortune to the already existing misfortune ultimately making two misfortunes. Also a misfortune should not be made heavier by being saddened by it, rather it should be eased and pushed away.

— Ibn al-Jawzi - Disciplining the Soul

One of the Salaf said, 'When I am afflicted with calamity, I praise Allah four times: I praise Allah for it not being worse than it is, I praise Allah for nourishing me with the ability to bear it patiently, I praise Him for granting me the accord to say, "To Allah we belong and to Him we return," and I praise Him for not making the tribulation in my religion.'
