To get what you love, you must first be patient with what you hate.

The mere physical man is like the ant crawling on the paper, who observes black lettering and attributes its production to the pen and nothing more.

Work for your terrestrial life in proportion to your location in it, and work for your afterlife in proportion to your eternity in it.

Love for God is the farthest reach of all stations, the sun of the highest degrees, and there is no station after that of love, except its fruit and its consequences.

When you have a bad suspicion about a Muslim in your heart, you should increase your consideration toward him and make dua for him. This way you will infuriate Satan and will be able to drive him away. Because of this, Satan will be reluctant to put evil thoughts into your heart, afraid that you would increase your consideration towards your brother and will make dua for him again.

Those who look for seashells will find seashells; those who open them will find pearls.

You possess only whatever will not be lost in a ship wreck.
