This visible world is a trace of that invisible one and the former follows the latter like a shadow.
Al-GhazaliHalf of disbelief in Allah in the world is caused by people who make religion look ugly due to their bad conduct and ignorance
Al-GhazaliHe who does not arrive at the Intuition of these Truths by means of Ecstasy knows only the name of Inspiration.
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 Awliya’ and chosen elite, and is watching over you.
Al-GhazaliAre 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!
