The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:
❝The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others.❞
[صحيح الترغيب للإمام الألباني ٢٦٢٣]
❝Occupy yourself with every good deed and hasten to do it before something prevents you from doing so.❞
– Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal
❝If you don’t have the ability to compete with the pious in righteous deeds, compete with sinners in seeking Allah’s forgiveness.❞
– Ibn Rajab رحمه الله
❝All women should prefer marrying men WHO SEEK KNOWLEDGE.❞
— Al-Albani (raḥimahullāh)
(Silsilatul-Huda wan-Noor 345)
Beneficial knowledge:
Ath-Thahabi said, when explaining beneficial knowledge: ❝O brother, you must reflect on the Qur’an and constantly read Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Sunan an-Nasa'i, Riyad as-Salihin, 40 Hadith Nawawi and 40 Hadith Qudsi. If you do so, you will be successful.❞
Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:
“The intellectual person is the one who recites the Qur’ān and contemplates over it. He becomes aware of the value of the worldly-life and that it is of no value [i.e. worthless] and it is a place of cultivation [to perform good deeds and actions], for the Afterlife. Therefore look to what you have sown therein, for [the betterment of] your Afterlife.”
Sharh Riyādh us-Sāliheen, 3/358| Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him]
Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:
❝We did not appear in this worldly life to live in it like grazing animals and merely eat, drink and sleep. Rather, we came to this dunyā (the worldly life) in order to prepare provisions for the hereafter.❞
[المصدر: شرح الكافية الشافية في الانتصار للفِرْقَةِ النَّاجية لابن عثيمين ٤/٣٧٩]
Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim رَحِمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ said :
Shaykh Ul Islam (Ibn Taymiyyah رَحِمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ) used to race towards the fulfilling of people's needs very earnestly, because he knew that everytime he helped someone else, Allah would help him.
[Raudhatul Muhibbeen, 1/168]
❝Perform many good deeds, and Allaah will make you feel happy and at ease in your grave.❞
– Imaam Sufyaan Ath-Thawree [رحمه الله]
[The Biography of Sufyaan Ath-Thawree, (Page: 176-181)]
Ibn Bāz (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
“You were not created to eat and drink...You were not created to build palaces or plant trees or traveling through rivers or marriage or anything like that. No. You were created to worship your Lord. You were created to stand upright in His obedience and to follow His Messenger ﷺ. You were created for this.
And everything in the earth, Allāh created it so you can utilize it in obedience to Allāh and to leave off disobedience. All that was not created so you could utilize it for your desires. “
[Majmū’ al-Fatāwā, volume 7, page 98]
A man said to Sufyān ath-Thawri رحمه الله advise me, Sufyān ath-Thawri said:
❝Work for this world in proportion to the time you shall abide therein [and how little that is] and work for the Afterlife in proportion to the time you shall abide therein [for eternity] and peace [be upon you].❞
Hilya-tul-Awliyā 7/56 | Abu Nu’aym al-Asfahāni رحمه الله
Ibn ‘Amr:
“Work for the Ḍunyā as if you will live forever, and work for the ‘Ākhirā as if you will die tomorrow!”
● [تفسير القرطبي ١٦\٣٢٠]
Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه said:
❝Every soul will blame itself on the Day of Judgment. The doer of good will regret that he did not increase in good deeds, and the sinner will regret that he did not repent from his sins.❞

Ibn Taymiyyah:
❝Anyone can do good deeds; but only a truthful person can leave sins.❞
[قيدة في صبر، ١٩١]
❝If you want your wealth to increase and your sins to be forgiven, then you should give forth in charity/sadaqah.❞
– Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (raḥimahullāh)

What I Am Looking For
Looking for an honest, humble, educated, caring, kind human being with good sense of humour and mannerism.
Advice of Sufyan Al-Thawree (raḥimahullāh) to Alee ibn Al-Hasan As-Sulamee:
❝Your companion should be the one who prevents you from being preoccupied with things of the worldly life that will divert you from Allaah, and one who makes you desire and work for the Hereafter.
Beware of accompanying people who make the dunyah their goal, those who are engrossed in speaking about the worldly life; indeed they will corrupt your religion and your heart.
Remember death much, and seek a lot of forgiveness from what has passed of your sins, and ask Allah for safety for what remains of your life.❞
[Hilyatul Awliyaa Vol. 7 Pg. 82]
The Imaam Rabee bin Haadi Al Madkhalee (may Allah preserve him) said:
❝Search for a believing companion, who aids you upon obedience to Allah, and encourages you with good and warns you from evil and you do not gain from him except good.❞
[Al-Majmoo’ al-Raa’iq p.28]
