The most excellent of those who perform good deeds are those who most often remember God in all situations.

He whose wealth or children distract him from remembering God is lost; but the one who remembers God experiences delights sweeter than the pleasure of food and drink.

Paraphrased: The way of al-Junayd includes among other things abstaining constantly from resisting God Most High in whatever happens to one, whether good or bad. . . .

When the invocation descends into the heart, if there is darkness within, it illuminates it; and if there is already light, the invocation increases the light and intensifies it.

I seek refuge in Thee from every hope which would distract me.

If you want a glory that does not vanish, then do not glory in a glory that vanishes

Invoking removes darkness and brings forth radiant lights.
