O you who are yearning to enter Paradise without an atom of strong will to enable you to attain your goal. Open your eyes to the example of others and see where you stand. If you find discouragement from within you, seek the help of Allah(aza wajjal), The Kind, and wake up after midnight to pray in order to envisage where the winning party is. Attach yourself to those who seek Allah's forgiveness and place yourself among those who spare no effort in satisfying Him.[Sayid Al-Khatir, page 318, Beirut.]

Al-Hasan Al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on his soul) said: "O son of Adam, to forsake sins is easier than to ask for forgiveness."[Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Az-Zuhd, volume 2, page 242.]

Al-Hasan Al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on his soul) used to say: "If you find yourselves unable to do the night prayers or fasts, then you are chained to your sins and wrong doings."[Ibn Al-Jawzi, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, page 14.]

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: " When you see Allah, The Most High, giving His servant what he likes of worldly gains, while this servant is insistent on committing sins, then you should realize that it is only a trap from Allah"[Sahih Al-Jami' As-Saghir, volume 1, page 575.]

Yahya Ibn Mu'adh, (may Allah be pleased with him), said: Dreaming of a long life is what hinders people from repenting. the one who repents must: shed tears, like loneliness, and must question himself whenever he is about to do something wrong.[Ibn Al-Jawzi, Dham Al-Hawa, page 174.]

Abul Hasan Ibn Sam'un said: Be careful from the small sins. Small spots leave traces on clean cloth.[Sifat As-Safwah, volume 2, page 473.]

Ibn Taymiyah said: "When my mind is unable to deal with a certain problem, I ask for forgiveness a thousand times (more or less). It is only then that I feel relaxed and my problem is solved. If this problem happens when I am in the market place, mosque or school, it doesn't hinder me from dhikr and asking forgiveness until I get what I want."[Ibn Taymiyah, Batl Al-Islah Ad-Dini, page 17.]

One night, Abu Sufyan Ath-Thawri kept crying and he did so till the morning. He was asked: "Is this all for the fear of sins?" He took a straw from the ground and said: "Sins are less important than this straw, but I cry for the fear of having a bad end to my life." This is considered the highest degree where a person fears lest his sins become so many that they prevent him from having a peaceful end.[Ibn Al-Qaiyim, Al-Jawab Al-Kafi, page 148.]

Thawban narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I know from my Ummah who will come on the Day of Judgement with their good deeds as white as the mountains of Tihamah. Allah, The Most High will make such deeds as scattered dust." Thawban said: O Messenger of Allah, describe them to us and make them clear to us, lest we should be among them while we are unaware of that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are your brothers and kin.They partake during the night in worship what you partake, except that in their moments of privacy they violate what is prohibited by Allah"[Ibn Majah, volume 2,no. 4245.]

"Be careful, be careful of sins, especially of those committed when you are alone."[Ibn Al-Jawzi, Sayid Al Khatir, page 193.]

Abud-Darda', (may Allah be pleased with him), said:"One should be careful lest the hearts of the believers should curse him while no one is aware. Do you know why this happens? It happens because if a person is alone and commits sins, Allah will throw His anger on to the hearts of the believers while he is unaware."[Ibn Al-Qaiyim, Al-Jawab Al-Kafi, page 47.]

The Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "All of my Community shall be pardoned, save those who commit *sins openly.* Committing them openly includes a man who does something shameful at night, and when morning comes, Allah having hidden his act, he says, 'O So-and-so, last night I did such and such'; his Lord having concealed it for him at night, while in the morning he pulls away the cover with which Allah had concealed it for him."
[Bukhari]

"Do not sit idle for indeed death is seeking you"
