"There is a polish for everything that takes away rust; and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allaah." [Reported by Bukhaaree]
Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) [1] said:
"What can my enemies do to me? I have my paradise and garden in my heart, wherever I journey, it is there with me, never departs from me. My imprisonment is seclusion, my murder is martyrdom, and expulsion from my homeland is tourism."
Adh-Dhahabee (rahimahullaah) [2] said:
"If you see the innovative mutakallim saying: 'leave out the Qur'aan and Sunnah and bring forth logic', then know that he is Aboo Jahl.
And if you see the 'One on the Spiritual Path', [who claims that by practicing a set of prescribed forms of innovated worship he will attain oneness with Allaah] ( i.e. the Soofees) saying: 'Leave us from [knowledge] that is transmitted (i.e. the Qur'aan and Sunnah) and bring forth the 'Taste and Ecstasy of Passion', then know that he is Iblees (Shaytaan) become manifest in human form, or has become incarnate within him; so if you become cowardly then run away from him,. otherwise wrestle him down, and sit on his chest with your knee, and read ayaatul-kursee, and strangle him." [as-Siyaar, (4/472)]
