Their level of eeman…

A fire once broke out in a house where Zayn al-Abidin the son of Imam Husain was in prostration during a prayer. He did not raise his head until the fire went out. 

When asked about this he said:

” The other {Hell} Fire kept my mind busy.”

{Siyar A’lam An-Nubala’ under the biography of ‘Ali the son of Imam Husain = Zayn Al-‘Abidin}

{He was the only surviving son of Imam Husain, the son of ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib {May Allah be well pleased with them all}

The Prophet’s (pbuh) Love for his Ummah.

"Truly in the heart there is a void that can not be removed except with the company of God. And in it there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing God and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him. And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness."

Ibn al-Qayyim
“I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won’t let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.”-Brother Malcolm

Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 61 :: Hadith 533 Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: A man heard another man reciting (Surat-Al-Ikhlas) ‘Say He is Allah, (the) One.’ (112. 1) repeatedly. The next morning he came to Allah’s Apostle and informed him about it as if he thought that it was not enough to recite. On that Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hand my life is, this Surah is equal to one-third of the Qur’an!” Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: My brother, Qatada bin An-Nau’man said, “A man performed the night prayer late at night in the lifetime of the Prophet and he read: ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One,’ (112.1) and read nothing besides that. The next morning a man went to the Prophet ,~ and told him about that . (The Prophet replied the same as (in Hadith 532) above.) Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 61 :: Hadith 534 Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said to his companions, “Is it difficult for any of you to recite one third of the Qur’an in one night?” This suggestion was difficult for them so they said, “Who among us has the power to do so, O Allah’s Apostle?” Allah Apostle replied: ” Allah (the) One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need.’ (Surat Al-Ikhlas 112.1—to the End) is equal to one third of the Qur’an.” Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 71 :: Hadith 644 Narrated ‘Aisha: Whenever Allah’s Apostle went to bed, he used to recite Surat-al-Ikhlas, Surat-al-Falaq and Surat-an-Nas and then blow on his palms and pass them over his face and those parts of his body that his hands could reach.

Don’t be sad- By Sheikh Mumtaz Ul Haq

"Watch your eye, should it ever reveal to you the faults of others, say to it: ‘O my eye, other people have eyes too.”
— Imam Ahmad Zarruq"

The Prophet said, ‘There is a surah in the Qur’an which is only thirty verses. It defends whoever recites it , until it puts him into paradise ‘ i.e.Surah al Mulk[Fath al Qadir 5/257, Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Tabrani inAl-Awsat & Ibn Mardawaith]The Prophet said, ‘Surah al Mulk is the protector from the torment of the grave ‘[Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Hakim 2/498 & Nasai]Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported Rasulullah (sallallahu alaiyhi wasalam) as saying, “There is a Surah which will plead for its reciter till it causes him to enter paradise” (Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk). [Tabrani]Sayyiduna ibn Mas’ood (Radhiallaahu Anhu) is reported to have said, ‘A manwill be approached in his grave from his legs and from his chest and thenfrom his head. And each time this Surah will defend him by saying, ‘Youcannot do anything to him, he used to recite Surah Mulk’.’Sayyiduna ibn Mas’ood (Radhiallaahu Anhu) further states, ‘It is called,‘Al-maani’ah’. For it protects from the punishment of the grave.’ (Mustadrakal-Haakim vol.2 pg.498). imam Haakim has classified this narration as Saheeh(authentic) and Haafiz Zahabiy has confirmed this.

Mind Your Own Business - Hamza Yusuf

Avoiding Major Sins.

If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your small sins and admit you to a noble entrance (into Paradise). [An-Nisa` 4:31]

Hajj

In the Name of Allah; the Merciful, the Compassionate. 
Regarding Hajj and Umrah, the Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention and protect him from every evil said: “Umrah is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the previous one. And the reward for al Hajj al Mabrur [an accepted Hajj] is nothing by Paradise.” (Narrated in Sahih al Bukhari, Hadeeth 1, Nol. 3).
