Imaam ash-Shaafi`ee (d.204H) - rahimahullaah - said:
"O my soul! It is not, except a few days of patience;
As if the extent were but a few dreams.
O my soul! Pass quickly on through this world;
And leave it, for indeed life lies ahead of it."
Ibn Rajab, Fadl `Ilmus-Salaf, p.63
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy on him:
“O feet of patience, keep going, for what remains is only a little. Remember the sweetness of worship, then the bitterness of striving will become easier for you.” (al-Fawaa’id)
“Go out to the field of struggle and strive to sow seeds. Irrigate the tree of regret with the water of tears…” (Badaa’i’ al-Fawaa’id, 3/742)
“It was said: Love is sincerity in striving to obey the commands of Allaah and pure sincerity in following the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” (Tareeq al-Hijratayn, 1/460)
“Whoever gives up striving completely, his religious motives will become weak and his motive to follow his desires will become strong, but when he trains himself to go against his desires, he can defeat them whenever he wants.” (‘Uddat al-Saabireen, 1/46)
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."
Majmu' al-Fatawa, vol 28, p.32
