"Dream - Have you ever heard of Ibn Atha'illah, dear friends of Dream? Yes, he was a scholar with a wealth of works. One of his popular works is the Book of Al-Hikam. Ibn Atha'illah was from Alexandria, Egypt, born in 648 AH/1250 AD and passed away in Cairo, Egypt in 1309 AD. Ibn Atha'illah spent most of his time in Cairo teaching Maliki jurisprudence, such as at Al-Azhar Mosque."

"Well, the words of wisdom from Ibn Ata'illah are numerous and very good for advice and motivation for Dream friends. Here are some of the words of wisdom from Ibn Ata'illah as summarized by Dream from various sources."

"Don't let the delay of God's grace upon you, after you have repeated your prayers, make you despair. Because He guarantees the fulfillment of prayers according to His choice, not according to yours; at the time He wishes, not at the time you wish." "You need His mercy more when you are obedient than when you are disobedient." "The best time for you is when you realize your shortcomings, and you also acknowledge your humility again."

"Whoever feels humble is actually arrogant, because humility does not come from someone who feels noble. Therefore, when you feel noble, it means you have been arrogant." "You are free from what you do not desire. You are a slave to what you covet." "The most foolish person is one who abandons their beliefs because they follow the assumptions of others." "You may not be a truly good person. You only appear good because you are among those who are worse than you."

"Prayer is the cleanser of the heart from the filth of sin and the opener of the door to the unseen."If you see someone always answering everything that is asked of them, revealing everything they witness, and mentioning everything they know, then know that this is a sign of ignorance (foolishness) within them."Whoever does not draw closer to Allah, despite being granted various pleasures, will be dragged (to draw closer) to Him with the chains of trials.""

"Someone is not said to love if they still ask for something from the one they love, but those who truly love are the ones who are willing to sacrifice for you. Therefore, indeed, the one who loves is the one who gives to you, not those who ask to be given your gifts." "The true folding is that you fold the distance of the world so that you see the hereafter closer than yourself." "When Allah has made you weary of creatures, then know that He wishes to open the door of intimacy with Him."

"Your desire for others to recognize your virtues is a testament to your dishonesty in submitting yourself to Allah."Among the signs of a dead heart is the absence of sadness over the obedience you have missed, and the absence of regret over the mistakes you have made. "Among the signs of those who constantly rely on their deeds is the lack of ar-raja' (hope for Allah's mercy) in the face of this transient world.""

"Do not accompany or make as a teacher those whose behavior does not inspire you towards God and whose words do not point you to God." "Your friendship with a layperson who does not endorse their desires is better than friendship with a religious leader who endorses their desires." "You submit to nature as long as you have not seen the Creator. If you have witnessed Him, then nature will submit to you.""

Here is the translation of the provided text while preserving the HTML tags: "When morning comes, the careless person will think about what they should do. Meanwhile, the wise person will think about what Allah will do to them." "If you do not want to be fired, do not hold a position that is not permanent." "Rest yourself or your mind from the busyness of managing your worldly needs. For, what has been guaranteed to be taken care of by others, you do not need to busy yourself thinking about it.""

"Deeds that are devoid of sincerity are completely meaningless, like a body without a soul. Sincerity is the spirit that gives meaning to every deed."The pleasure of desires that have taken root in the heart is a chronic disease."The diversity of types of deeds is due to the various spiritual conditions that arise in the heart."Do not demand from your God because your desires are delayed, but demand from yourself because you have delayed your etiquette towards Allah.""

"Hope is what is followed by action. If not, then it is just a dream."When what makes you happy diminishes, then what saddens you also diminishes."Nothing is difficult if you seek it through your God. Nothing is easy if you seek it through yourself."Sin that gives rise to a sense of shame within you until you become in need of Allah is better than obedience that leads to feelings of nobility and arrogance, or pride in yourself.""

"Among the signs that someone is following their desires is the eagerness to perform the Sunnah practices while being lazy in upholding the obligatory ones." "One of the signs that someone relies solely on their deeds, not on Allah's mercy, is a decrease in hope in Allah when making mistakes." "Nothing is difficult if you seek it through your Lord. Nothing is easy if you seek it through yourself."
