Pearls of Wisdom -Shaykh ibn Wuld al khairy

"Whenever you sit with people and you see them drowning or submerged in heedlessness, take charge of your heart and be present with your Lord & Master in His Hadra! Do not be heedless of Him, because whoever remembers his Lord & Master in the company of the heedless and in the company of those whose hearts are dead, Allah will enliven their hearts while others remain dead. You will then become a lamp shining in the darkness of the heedless and a door from among the doors of His mercy, by which His Mercy reaches the heedless"
