Are you ready to cut off your head and place your foot on it? If so, come; Love awaits you! Love is not grown in a garden, nor sold in the marketplace; whether you are a king or a servant, the price is your head, and nothing less. Yes, the cost of the elixir of love is your head! Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price!
Al-GhazaliUnderstand that for every rule which I have mentioned from the Quran, the Devil has one to match it, which he puts beside the proper rule to cause error.
Al-GhazaliWhoever determines the truth from people alone will remain lost in the plains of bewilderment. Rather, know the truth, and you will know its people.
Al-GhazaliThis visible world is a trace of that invisible one and the former follows the latter like a shadow.
Al-GhazaliIf you see Allah, Mighty and Magnificent, holding back this world from you, frequently trying you with adversity and tribulation, know that you hold a great status with Him. Know that He is dealing with you as He does with His Awliyaโ and chosen elite, and is watching over you.
