Sufi Quotes

God is to be loved for His own sake because “green things and running water are loved for themselves, not for the sake of drinking the water or eating the green thing.”

Sufi Quotes

The exoteric scholars (ulama) learn exoteric knowledge and claim to be Mashaikh (spiritualists) by praying doubly. Their inner realm is being ransacked (plundered), but they don’t feel their loss. Remove soot from your heart; he who is God wary is blissful and ever green. Allah Most High is attainable only to those who hav’nt destroyed wealth of faith and love for the sake of worldly gain.

Sufi Quotes

The wayfarer should eat licit food, don licit clothes, because if one grain is illicit or one fibre illicit, the journey would not be straight.

Sufi Quotes

Righteousness is God’s sword upon the earth. Whatever it touches, it cuts to pieces. Sidq means to see the Causer (Agent) and not to affirm the cause. The present world is the abode of. calamity; the next of pleasure. I would not spend a grain of barley to acquire either! Mischief is for this world, honour for the next: I am free of both, belonging to neither!
