Abu Sulaymaan (rahimahullaah) said:
“Abstinence from the
worldly life is to abandon that which preoccupies you away from [ the remembrance
and obedience to] Allaah.”
He (rahimahullaah) also said:
“Everything that
preoccupies you away from [remembrance and obedience to] Allaah – be it [your]
family, wealth and children – then indeed it is misfortune.”
