That is why the suplication of the distressed person is with tawhid. Such as the supplication of Yunus (AS). The distressed person does not supplicate with what Yunus supplicated with except that God releases him from his hardship because of tawhid. There is nothing more gruesome for the distressed person than shirk(associating others with God), and there is nothing that can rescue you from it except tawhid, it is refuge for the creation, its shelter, its fortress, its aid.” anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15465413815211690221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286574154596138043.post-60978581506367183102013-11-14T17:05:00.002-08:002013-11-14T17:05:52.459-08:00silence"How rare it is to find a soul quiet enough to hear God speak" - Francois Fenelon anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15465413815211690221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286574154596138043.post-47722198334823794872013-11-14T17:04:00.002-08:002013-11-14T17:04:58.107-08:00simplicity"simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication" - Leonardo De Vinci anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15465413815211690221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286574154596138043.post-61661118245720117842013-11-07T12:42:00.002-08:002013-11-07T12:42:22.130-08:00contentment"When a man is satisfied with God's decrees, it is a sign that God is satisfied with him." - Shaykh Ali ibn Uthman Hujwiri anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15465413815211690221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286574154596138043.post-195479673612646642013-11-07T12:41:00.001-08:002013-11-07T12:41:26.177-08:00fear of povertySufyan said "Satan has no weapon like the fear of poverty, and if man accepts this from him he undertakes vain deeds, withholding the right, talking passionately, and supposing evil of his Lord." - Ihya, Book 2anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15465413815211690221noreply@blogger.com0
