Sufi Quotes

O Brothers! Mystical knowledge (Marifat) is the seed of love. Everyone who would penetrate further into the world of mystical knowledge will become more inflamed by the fire of love and will receive great delight and preeminence from the face of the Beloved and from the sight of the Desired One.

Sufi Quotes

The soul's inclination towards affliction and suffering is a great mystical achievement on the Divine path. He says: “The Sufis desire fellowship with sickness and misfortune, keep company with anxiety and weakness for such things in their life lead to healing. He who does not reckon affliction as a grace is not one of the wise. The saintly virtue of affliction makes the devotee humble in the presence of God and is a sign of spiritual perfection.

Sufi Quotes

It is a great pity that people today hanker after verbal recitations and charms and incantations, instead of trying to improve their moral and decds which constitute the real things, and remembering Allah who is the Fountainhead of all that is good and noble in his life.

Excess of knowledge does not make one great scholar, rather Savant is that who acting on his knowledge adheres to Sunna may amount of his knowledge be little.

Sufi Quotes

O Brother! Sin for the servant is great calamity, May God protect us from such things! Sin in the beginning hardens the heart, which ultimately leads to unbelief and wretchedness. Don’t forget the wiles of Satan and the fate of Balaam Baour.

Sufi Quotes

Gnosis (Marifat) is the hovering of the heart between declaring God too great to be comprehended and declaring Him too mighty to be perceived. It consists in knowing that whatever may be imagined in the heart, God is the opposite of it.
