Ali Ibn Abi Talib (ra)
Seriously, we are born free! We have a choice! It’s what makes us different from Angels. So how have we ended up choosing to answer to people? Even more than we chose to answer to God?

Ali ibn Hussein reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Verily, from the perfection of a person’s Islam is that he leaves what does not concern him.”
(Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Book of Asceticism, Number 2318, Hasan)
عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلَامِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكَهُ مَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ
سنن الترمذي كِتَاب الزُّهْدِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه

Heart is Like A Fortress
Ibn Al-Jawzi (rahimahullaah) said: “Iblees tricks people in whatever way he can, and his power over them increases and decreases according to their alertness or negligence, their ignorance or knowledge.
Note that the heart is like a fortress, and the devils are always going around the fortress watching for the guards to become heedless. The guard should know all the gates of the fortress which he has been appointed to guard, and he should not let his attention slip for a moment, for the enemy never lets his attention slip.”
