"And the forerunners, the forerunners -Those are the ones brought near [to Allah ] (Al Muqarraboon), In the Gardens of Pleasure, A [large] company of the former peoples, And a few of the later peoples…" Surah al Waqiah, ayaat 10-14
“He (Muhammad saws) never worked on structures. He worked on the hearts and minds of people, until he created men and women who changed the landscape of history. Men and women who were heavy in the scales of Allah swt.”
“This is the sunnah of Allah. Allah never judges people by their numbers. He judges them by their quality and substance.”
“Truly in the heart there is a void that cannot be removed except with the company of Allah, And in it there is a sadness that cannot be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that cannot be filled except with love from 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.”
by Ibn Al Qayyim rahimahullah
