Quotes by Sheikh Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi (رحمه الله)
How can the heart travel to Allah (سبحانه وتعالى), when it is changed by its desires? The desires of this world are like sea water. The more you drink of them, the more you thirst. Be satisfied with what you have, even if it is less than what others have. In fact, prefer to have … Continue reading Quotes by Sheikh Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi (رحمه الله)
Quotes by Shams Tabrizi (رحمه الله)
He who surrenders his affairs to Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) stops living in boiling water and starts living in a secure place. Being the companion of the folk of this world is fire. There must be an Abraham in you if the fire is not going to burn you. The chemistry of mind is different from … Continue reading Quotes by Shams Tabrizi (رحمه الله)
Quotes by Hazrat Rabia Basri (رحمها الله)
Seclusion is the soul’s ideal preparation for reaching Allah (سبحانه وتعالى). It is in the state of solitude that the soul contemplates on the attributes of Allah.

Quotes by Imam Hasan Al-Askari (عليه السلام)
Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem is closer to the Ism Al-Azam than the iris of the eye to its white. Reaching Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) is a journey that is not achieved except by riding (worship) at night. There are two qualities such that there is no quality above them -faith in Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) and the serving … Continue reading Quotes by Imam Hasan Al-Askari (عليه السلام)
Quotes by Imam Al-Hadi (عليه السلام)
The neglector of the Bismillah is the same as the neglector of the (obligatory) prayers. Love Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) for the blessings He gives you, and love Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) for the love of Allah and love his household for his love. It suffices for you to have good manners by giving … Continue reading Quotes by Imam Al-Hadi (عليه السلام)
Quotes by Imam Al-Jawad (عليه السلام)
Life reveals the hidden secrets to you, as it goes by. The best worship is sincerity in intention. Don't pretend to be Allah's friend while being His enemy in secret. There will be no dispute among people if the ignorant remain silent. Unwise words cause many disputes. Avoid befriending a mischievous person, since he is … Continue reading Quotes by Imam Al-Jawad (عليه السلام)
