"My mother never hit me, not once!"

I once worked with a man & his dying mother. She was in her 90's & was an unresponsive hospice patient. He was a very healthy 74 year old if he would've told me he was 34 I would have believed him. Anyway I'll never forget the life lesson's I learned from that experience & I just wanna share some of what he said. He said that he had the option of leaving his mother in the care of others but how could he when she was such an excellent mother to him. He was her only child & he said "She never hit me, not once!! ever!! & this is all the sacrifice I can do for her." He said it several times & when he did he pointed up with his index finger with teary eyes. "He said she never hit me not even once in my entire life!!" He was the gentlest man I'd ever met.

Refrain from being vain; remain steadfast upon the Prophet's way
& let Allah & the believers relay the haqq of your status on the last day.

Being Unknown, better?

Sufyaan Ath-Thawree (d. 161H) said, "Hence you must take to the original affair, hold tight to it, and you should take to being unknown, for indeed this is the age to remain unknown. And take to remaining aloof, secluded, and associating little with the people, because when people used to meet, some of them would benefit the others. But as for today, then that has gone and in our view, salvation lies in abandoning them. Related by Aboo Nu'aym in Al-Hilyah (6/376-377)

Al-Hasan al-Basree said :

"No speech will be correct except with action, and no speech and action will be correct except with intention, and no speech, action and intention will be correct except with the Sunnah." [Sharh Usool al-Itiqaad Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamm'aah of Imaam al-Laalikaa'ee]

Uways ibn 'Aamir, the best of the taabi'een, may Allaah have Mercy on him, said:

"The act of ordering what is right and forbidding evil does not leave the believer with a single friend. We order them with what is good and they insult our honor, and they get help from the faasiqoon (disobedient, rebellious ones) in that, so much so that, by Allaah, they have accused me of horrible things. But, by Allaah, I will not stop establishing His Right amongst them."
