Sufi Quotes

God loves all His creatures, particularly man, who alone in the creation reflects all His attributes. Coming from God, his soul longs to return to Him. The very origin of its love is in His love. He loves them, and they love Him. His love precedes man’s love for Him. If man searches for God, it is because God searches man.
