✨📜 Ghazaliyat 📜✨

(Sayings of al-Ghazali)

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“I saw a man in the desert who was 120 years old. I asked him about his vitality at such an age. He replied:

‘I abandoned envy, so the body remained.’

➖ Worthy of reflection.

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“If we knew what is said about us in our absence, we would not smile at the faces of many people!”

➖ (A truth.)

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“A wise man was asked, ‘Why is the sky clear?’

He smiled and said: ‘Because humans do not live there!’”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“A little water can save you, and a great flood can drown you.

Learn always to be content with what you have.”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“To succeed in life you need two things:

✨ Confidence …

✨ And the ability to ignore (what doesn’t benefit you).”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“Stupidity is a deficit; pretending to be foolish is perfection.

Oblivion is loss; deliberate overlooking is wisdom!”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“That unknown distress you feel — perhaps it is sins calling you to seek forgiveness.”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“The Qur’an is like your third eye:

When you are choked by the smoke of worldly life, it benefits, intercedes, and elevates you.

🌹 Do not abandon it ♥️”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“Prayer makes a person more in control of his emotions.

Allah says:

‘Man was created anxious; when evil touches him he is distraught, and when good touches him he is withholding — except for those who pray.’”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“The envious one sees you as arrogant;

The lover sees you as wonderful!”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“Do not be hurt if someone denies your favor to them —

Street lights are forgotten in daylight!”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“No single sending of blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ rises to the heavens except that it returns tenfold.

How astonishing that anyone would be stingy with himself!”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“A tree fell, and everyone heard the sound of its fall,

While an entire forest grows in silence and makes no noise.

👉 People notice your downfall, not your excellence.”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“Some turns in life are harsh — but they are necessary to continue the journey.”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“Learn to illuminate those around you,

Even if your own inner corners are very dark.”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“What brings ongoing misfortune is not bad luck,

But accumulated sins we have forgotten.

⚠️ Indeed, sins remove blessings.”

🌿 Al-Ghazali (On marriage):

“In the early days of Islam, the permissible was made easy so the forbidden became difficult.

In our time, the permissible has become difficult, and the forbidden has become easy.”

➖ (A truth.)

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“A poor young man proposed to a girl and they did not approve.

Later, a rich but immoral man proposed, and they agreed, saying: ‘God will guide him!’

Why did they not say about the first: ‘God will provide for him’?

👉 Is not the Guide also the Provider?”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

For reflection only:

“We search our pockets for the smallest coins to give in charity,

Then ask Allah to grant us the highest Paradise!

How small our gifts — and how great our requests!”

🌿 Al-Ghazali:

“May you be well wherever you are.

Remember three supplications in your prostration (sujood):

O Allah, I ask You for a good ending.

O Allah, grant me sincere repentance before death.

O Allah, Controller of hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion.”

🌟 If you intend to share these words:

Intend goodness by it — perhaps Allah will relieve for you a distress in this world or the Hereafter.

💡 Do good even if you see it as small,

For you do not know which deed will admit you to Paradise.

So do not keep it to yourself; spread it forward and count it as ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah) for you and your parents.
