Sufi Quotes

Faqr camprises three letter; Fay, Qaf and Ray. Fay means destruction of ego, Qaf means severity on ego, and Ray means satisfaction in the will of God. And also by Fay means pride, Qaf means nearness and Ray means mystery. These stations relate to the “poverty of the Prophet (PBUH).”

Sufi Quotes

In the order to attain the highest goal of life one must nullify his own ego (selfhood). Since ego is an internal matter, ritual prayers cannot harness it. It is necessary to wage internal war against the nafs.
