Haji Muhammad Qadri

Sufi Quotes

The mystic also seeks to be one of those who are in fellowship (intimacy) with God. But the servant is nearer to His fellowship when men shun Him and not accept Him. Thus the servant must not be deceived by the satisfaction he has in times of spiritual elevation. Fellowship is only the result of Divine grace accorded to the soul.

Sufi Quotes

O the lustful! You claim to be in love with Allah, the Glorious and His Apostle but your eyes, ears and tongue are busy in the love others. This is stupidity, avidity and vainglory. You must shun them. You should be ashamed of false claim. It is incumbent on you not to see anyone except the Beloved.

Sheikh Shahabuddin Suhrawardi

Sufi Quotes

To avoid illicit food and to be purified from all despicable qualities enhances yearning. Try always to shun illicit, and doubtful morsal. Blameworthy traits of the lower-self, like anger, bad conduct, undue sexual appetite, and other sensual impulses should not appear. Unless you implore and seek Divine help, you cannot escape from such, baneful desires. Therefore, be always humble and meekly.

Sufi Quotes

O Friend! Shun attaining more knowledge. Your need is just one word "Alif". Exoteric knowledge is not counted here, nor fleeting life is dependable. Your need is just one syllable "Alif".
