Sufi Quotes

Remember, Divine Union is not possible to attain without the purification of inmost being. Laila had her vein opened, Majnun, bleeded. What kind of Zikr he was engrossed in? Human mind is contaminated by evil thinking. Auliya Allah have prescribed remembrance just to help disciples concentrate on Him and become steadfast.

Sufi Quotes

Gnosis is the mark of the Sufis. But knowledge of God concerns His essential attributes and His attributes manifested in action. If anyone asserts that he has the knowledge of the attributes of His Essence, which are eternal, his stance is false, because its Simits God to what can be conceived by the finite mind, and His Essence is without limit, infinite.
