Ponder on Allah’s Rights Upon You – Ibn al-Qayyim

| Amjad Khan | , , , ,

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Ibn al-Qayyim — may Allah have mercy on him — said:

“If you reflect on the condition of most people, you will find them looking at what (they believe) is their right upon Allah, rather than looking at Allah’s right upon them.

From this perspective, they become cut off from Allah, and their hearts are veiled from truly knowing Him, loving Him, yearning to meet Him, and delighting in His remembrance.

This is the ultimate ignorance a person can have — of his Lord and of his own self.”

Ighaafata al-Lahfaan, 1/89
