Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.
Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper (via psych-facts)
If the sinner knew that the pleasure of repenting and the joy associated with it is multiple times greater than the pleasure of sinning and the joy associated with it, he would rush to it much more than the way he rushes to the pleasure of sinning.
Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), Kitaab ar-Rooh. (via jaffor) . (via idayumumtaz)
O the One Who sends cures and removes pain, send upon me a cure for that from which I suffer.
Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (ع) al-Kafi h. 3398 (via shiaislam)
When you go through a hard period,
When everything seems to oppose you,
When you feel you can’t bear even one minute,
Never give up,
Because it is the time and place that the course will divert.
Rumi (via thelittlephilosopher)
Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others. Before preaching to others he should first practice himself. Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals is superior to the man who tries to teach and train others.

Imam Ali (as)- Nahj ul Balagha Saying 73 

(via chaitalkh)
