Proof of Love

Truly when a man loves a thing, he repeatedly mentions it, and when he repeatedly mentions a thing, even if that may be burdensome, he loves it.

[Imam Abu Hamid al Ghazali]

You vs. the World

The world is a vehicle for you. If you drive it, it will deliver you to your destination. If it drives you, you will be destroyed.

 Imam Hasan al-Basri

"Submission to Allah’s Will is the best companion; wisdom is the noblest heritage; theoretical and practical knowledge are the best signs of distinction; deep thinking will present the clearest picture of every problem. " ~Imam Ali (as)~

Unconditional

"The sun never says to the earth,
'You owe me.'

Look what happens with a love like that.
It lights up the whole sky."

Hafiz

Are you a Thief or a Saint?

"When a thief sees a saint, all he sees are his pockets."

[Robert Frager]
