He is God;
There is no god but He.
He is the knower of the Unseen
and the Visible;
He is the All-merciful, the All-compassionate.~

He knows what is in the heavens
and on earth;
and He knows what ye conceal
and what ye reveal: yea,
Allah knows well the (secrets)
of (all) hearts.~

Holy Qura'an

The Word of God
is the medicine of the heart.

Knowledge and practice are twins, and both go together for there is no knowledge without practice, and no practice without knowledge.

When God wants to humiliate a person, He deprives him of knowledge.

Knowledge is the sum total of excellence;
he who teaches you a letter binds you with a fetter of gratitude.

Knowledge enlivens the soul.

The learned lives although he dies.

To respect the learned is
to respect God.

To seek council is to go to the fountain of guidance.

The vision of the eye is limited;
the vision of the heart transcends all barriers of time and space.

He who does not know his own worth, is doomed to destruction.

 

Hadrat Ali
May Allah be pleased with him

 

 

 

 

O my people! Respond to me, for I am the crier of Allah
(Almighty and Glorious is He), calling you to His door and His obedient service. I am not calling you to myself. The hypocrite does not call the people to Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He); he is a self-promoter. He is looking for favors and acceptance, seeking worldly gain.

Shaikh Muhyi'din 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani
May Allah perfume his resting place.

 

 

 

Throughout your
days, nafakhat rabbikum, divine addressings, are
blowing into your ears.
But you must be ready
to receive some of His addressings to you, you must be ready to listen.

Prophet Muhammad
peace and blessings upon him

 

For God's pleasure
you should do your service. Why care whether you bear people's praise
or blame?

Shaykh Jalaluddin Rumi
May Allah sanctify his secret

Allah Almighty never likes a person to be on the same route everyday. Every day you must grow, must become more, must ask more. And we are asking, "O our Lord, give to us from Your Mercy Oceans. We do not know what to ask. As much as we ask, it is nothing beside what You are giving us. Then You give to us, O our Lord."

Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani
May Allah Most High be pleased with him


Sufism is all good humor: whoever excels you in good humor
excels you in Sufism.

Katanni

 

 

The world seems more bitter
than patience
to the disciple's heart,
but when gnosis
enters his heart,
he finds patience
to be sweeter
than honey.

Junayd
May Allah be pleased with him


You may try a hundred things,
but love alone will release you
from yourself.
So never flee from love--
not even from love
in an earthly guise--
for it is a preperation for
the supreme Truth.
How will you read the Koran
without first learning
the alphabet?

Jami

 

I Begged for power
and found it in knowledge.
I begged for honor
and found it in poverty.
I begged for health
and found it in asceticism.
I begged my account be lessened before God
and found it in silence.
I begged for consolation
and found it in despair.

Ali Sahl Isfahani

If you could get rid
of yourself just once,
The secret of secrets
Would open to you.
The face of the unknown,
Hidden beyond the universe
Would appear
on the
Mirror of your perception.  

Rumi
