Sufi Quotes

Shah Kamal wrote to Shaikh Abdul Ahad Kabali. O Dear! Dive into the sea of violent love. If tide of the sea throws you on the sea-shore, it is good and it is a great success. And if driven into the abyss of the sea, no one would criticise you nor shall we. If time is wasted while sitting at the sea-shore, you shall deserve dead fish. And if like driver dive into the depth of the sea, you shall be deserving radiant pearl.

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.

Sufi Quotes

Shams claims for himself the status of a Owaisi Sufi, one whose spiritual illumination comes not though a teacher, but directly from God: “Everyone talks of his own Sheikh. In a dream the Prophet Muhammad gave me a ceremonial cloak (Khirqa), not the kind that will wear out and rip after a few days and fall in the bath house and be washed of dirt, but a cloak of converse (Sohbat), not a converse that can be comprehended, but a converse that is not of yesterday, today or tomorrow.

Sufi Quotes

When Hallaj was in prison, he was asked: “what is love?” He answered: “You will see it today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.” And that day they cut off his hands and feet, and the next day they put him on the gallows, and the third day they gave his ashes to the wind.
