Allah the Exalted said:
وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ
And He is Oft-Forgiving, Full of love (Soorah Al Burûj 85:14)
Imam
as-Sa’di said: The subtly for “Full of love” being coupled with “Oft-Forgiving”
is to show the sinners if they repent to Allah, He will forgive them of their
sins and He will love them. Those who say the repentant sinners are forgiven
but the love does not return to them are incorrect.

Allaah said:
مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الْآخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهُ فِي حَرْثِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِن نَّصِيبٍ
“Whosoever
desires (by his deeds) the reward of the
Hereafter, We give him increase in his reward, and whosoever desires the reward
of this world (by his deeds), We give him thereof (what is decreed for him),
and he has no portion in the Hereafter.

Ash-Shūra 42:20

Ibn
Mas’ud رضي
الله عنه
said:
“Whoever would like to know whether they love Allaah, then let them compare themselves to the Qur’an. If they love the Qur’an, then
they love Allaah, the
Mighty and Majestic, as the
Qur’an is
the Speech of Allaah.”

of Abdullah b. Ahmad no.125: 1/148)

Yahyā Ibn Mu’ādh رَحِمَهُ اللهُ said:
The Dunyā is
the Khamr (Liquor) of Shaytān. He who is intoxicated by it will never sober
except when he is amongst the dead in a state of regret and loss.

Save yourself from
the fire by having taqwa of Allāh and
(likewise) save your children from the fire by way of (giving them) righteous
cultivation upon Islam and upon (performing actions of) the religion and having
excellent manners. If not (i.e. if you
have not given them this cultivation) then, indeed you have betrayed the
responsibility which you were entrusted with.

كُلَّ
يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ
“Every day He (Allaah) is (engaged) in some
affair.”
(Soorah al-Rahmaan ayah 29)
Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ said:
“From
among His (Allaah’s) affairs is that He is forgiving sins, relieving hardships,
raising a people and debasing others.”

Az-Zubair bin ‘Adi
said:
We went to Anas bin Mâlik رضي الله عنه and
complained to him of suffering at the hands of Al-Hajjâj. He replied: “Show
endurance, for no time will come but will be followed by one worse (than the
present one) till you meet your Rubb, I heard this from your Prophet ﷺ.” [Al-Bukhârî)
Commentary: This Hadîth contains
the prediction that with the passage of time, conditions will become from bad
to worse with the result that the rulers would become more and more cruel. In
such circumstances, the remedy suggested here is that rather than making any
effort to reform the rulers, one should try to reform oneself and worry to make
one’s own life in the Hereafter, and endure patiently the tyrannies perpetrated
by the rulers.
