Pearls from the Predecessors Min Durar Al-Salaf

[Umm.Sufyaan.Fatimah]

Ibn Shawdhab said:

“Verily, it is from the bounty of Allaah upon a youth that when he devotes himself to worship, he befriends a person of the Sunnah who carries him upon it.”

Al-Laalikaa’ee in Sharh Usool ul-I’tiqaad (no.30)

[S.bint.Ahmed]

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimah Ullah) said:

Ikhlas is the tawheed of one's intent.

The Book of Sincerity Pg 110

One of them wrote to his brother:

Make your intention sincere in all of your actions and little action will suffice you.

(ibid pg 106)

One of them said:

Whoever sees sincerity in his sincerity, his sincerity is itself in need of sincerity. The destruction of every sincere person lies in his sincerity.(He is destroyed) to the extent that he sees sincerity in himself. When he abandons seeing sincerity in himself, he will be sincere and purified.

(ibid pg 107)
