When Allah desires the redemption of His People, He causes them to suffer in this world. But when He is averse, He leaves them to transgress until death overtakes.
-The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Anas bin Malik
Dhu'l-Nun was asked: "What causes a devotee to be worthy of entrance to paradise?" He said: "One merits entrance to paradise by five things: unwavering constancy, unflagging effort, meditation on God in solitude and society, anticipating death by preparing provision for the hereafter, and bringing oneself to account before one is brought to judgment."
-'Attar, "Tadhkirat"

Hey shaqyl, being a uia student and all, can I know who is Dhu'l-Nun? Was he a scholar? Because I really like his quote. :)
