Additional quotes by Al-Ghazali

فإنَّ العبدَ ضعيفٌ ، والزَّمانُ صعبٌ ، وأمرُ الدِّينِ متراجعٌ ، والفراغ قليلٌ ، والشُّغلُ كثيرٌ ، والعمرُ قصيرٌ ، وفي العملِ تقصيرٌ ، والنَّاقدُ بصيرٌ ، وإلى اللَّهِ المصيرُ ، والأجلُ قريبٌ ، والسَّفرُ بعيدٌ ، والطَّاعةُ هي الزَّادُ فلا بدَّ منها وهي فائتةٌ فلا مردَّ لها ، فمن ظفرَ بها . . فقد فازَ وسعدَ أبدَ الآبدينَ ، ومن فاته ذلك . . فقد خسرَ مع الخاسرينَ ، وهلكَ مَعَ الهالكينَ

Counsel: Man should yearn to reach a point where the locks to the divine mysteries are opened by his speech, and where he might facilitate by his knowledge what creatures find difficult in religious and worldly affairs, for him to gain a share in the name of opener.
