If He opens a door for you, thereby making Himself known, pay no heed if your do not measure up to this. For, in truth, He has not opened if for you but out of a desire to make Himself known to you. Do you not know that He is the one who presented the knowledge of Himself to you, whereas you are the one who presented Him with deeds? What a difference between what He brings to you and what you present to Him!
Ibn Ata AllahThe most excellent of those who perform good deeds are those who most often remember God in all situations.
Ibn Ata AllahWhenever there remains any support for the ego within, even if it be only an atom's weight, then you are pretentious and have a devil who leads you astray.
Ibn Ata AllahIf you do not know the blessings you have when you have them, then Allah will teach you about them by taking them away from you
Ibn Ata Allah
