Sufi Quotes of Qazi Hamiduddin Nagori
All the philosophical arguments for the existence of God are to be rejected because they are based upon rationality which is imperfect in itself. Qazi also refutes a pure religious approach to God because it is related to man’s individual and human qualities. God known through human attributes is finite and imperfect. The truth is that knowledge of the attributes of God transcends the knowledge of the qualities of human nature.

Qazi divides knowledge into two categories: Empirical-which is attained by the lower self and spiritual or Divine which is gained by the saints in their illuminated hearts.
