For those endowed with insight there is in reality no object of love but God, nor does anyone but He deserve love - Al-Ghazali

ما دُمتَ ملوثا بما سوى الله فلا بُد لك من نفي لا إله, و إذا غبتَ عن الكل في مشاهدة صاحب الكل, استرحتَ من نفي لا إله, و وصلتَ إلى الإثبات قل الله ثم ذرهم في خوضهم يلعبون

الشعوب هي الأصل أو هي المرجع الأخير وعلى بغاة الخير أن يختلطوا بالجماهير لا ليذوبوا فيها وإنما ليرفعوا مستواها ويفكوا قيودها النفسيه والفكرية قيودها الموروثة أو التي أقبلت مع الاستعمار الحديث

I will rouse you from your sleep, you who have given yourself up to recitation, who have taken the study of the Qur’an as a practice, who have seized upon some of its outward meanings and sentences.

How long will you wander about the shore of the sea with your eyes closed to its wonders?

Was it not for you to sail through its depths in order to see its amazing things, to travel to its islands to pick its delicacies, to dive to its bottom and become rich from obtaining its jewels? Don’t you despise yourself for losing out on its pearls and jewels as you continue to look only to its shores and esoteric aspects? Haven’t you heard that the Qur’an is an ocean from which the knowledge of all ages branches out just as rivers and streams branch out from the shores of the ocean?

Don’t you envy the happiness of people who have plunged into its overflowing waves and seized red sulfur, who have dived into its depths and taken out red rubies, shining pearls and green chrysolite, who have roamed its shores and gathered gray ambergris and fresh blooming aloes wood, who have clung to its islands and found an abundance in their animals of the greatest antidote and pungent musk?
