Obtaining the Pleasure of Allah Ta'ala


Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem



 “With good manners you understand knowledge. 

With knowledge, your actions are corrected. 

With actions, wisdom is obtained. 

With wisdom you understand Zuhd (abstinence) and are granted its benefits. 

With Zuhd comes abandoning the world. 

With abandoning the world comes desire for the Hereafter. 

With desire for the Hereafter, the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala
– the Mighty and Majestic – is obtained.” 


~ Yunus bin ‘Ubayd (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh)

Intentions & Seeking Knowledge


Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem


Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (Radhiyallahu 'anhu) would advise his students:

"If your intention is one of these three, do not seek knowledge :

1.)    To shame the ignorant
2.)    To argue with the Fuqaha (Scholars)
3.)    To cause people to turn their faces in your direction

Intend with your actions and words that which is with Allah Ta’ala, 
for indeed that which is with Allah Ta’ala shall remain, 
and everything else shall perish.”
