Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said, “Indeed whenever I waiver and become indecisive in my mind about an issue, or about something or a situation [which is problematic for me] then I ask forgiveness of Allāh, the Most High, a thousand times or more, or less until He opens my chest for me and solves the problem which I was confused about. Even if at that time I was in a market place, or in a masjid or in a mountain pass or a school, that does not prevent me from the remembrance (of Allāh) and asking for forgiveness until I achieve my objective.” (al-ʻUqūd ad-Durriyyah fī Dhikri Manāqib Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah) Muʻādh b. Jabal said, ”Child of Ādam, you are in need of your worldly portion and your portion in the hereafter, but you are more in need of the hereafter. If you put your worldly portion first, you shall lose that of the hereafter and threaten your worldly one. If you put the hereafter first, you will succeed in your worldly portion and put in its rightful place.” (Ḥilyat al-Awliyāʼ)
