There was a time, when I blamed my companion if his religion did not resemble mine. Now, however, my heart accepts every form....Love alone is my religion.
Ibn ArabiMy heart can be pasture for deer and a convent for monks, a temple for idols and a Kaaba for the pilgrims. It is both the tables of the Torah and the Koran. It professes the religion of Love wherever its caravans are heading. Love is my law. Love is my faith.
Ibn ArabiNone but God is loved in the exist- ent things. It is He who is manifest within every beloved to the eye of every lover โ and there is nothing in the existent realm that is not a lover
Ibn ArabiIf you find it complicated to answer someoneโs question, do not answer it, for his container is already full and does not have room for the answer
Ibn ArabiWhoever builds his faith exclusively on demonstrative proofs and deductive arguments, builds a faith on which it is impossible to rely. For he is affected by the negativities of constant objections. Certainty(al-yaqin) does not derive from the evidences of the mind but pours out from the depths of the heart.
Ibn Arabi
