The heart will not find complete happiness except by loving Allah




Ibn Taimiyah said:

“The heart will not find complete happiness except by loving Allah and by striving towards what is dear to Him. It is not possible to achieve this love except by rejecting all things that compete with it. This is what the words, ‘There is no god but Allah’ mean; this is the spirit of the deen of Ibrahim and of that of every other prophet.”

(Ibn Taimiya, Majmu’ al-Fatawa, vol 28, p.32, Riyadh)
