أدلة الطريق هم العلماء الذين هم ورثة الأنبياء ،وقد شغر منهم الزمان ولم يبق إلا المترسمون وقد استحوذ على أكثرهم الشيطان واستغواهم الطغيان ، وأصبح كل و… - Al-Ghazali

Men have such a good opinion of themselves, of their mental superiority and intellectual depth; they believe themselves so skilled in discerning the true from the false, the path of safety from those of error, that they should be forbidden as much as possible the perusal of philosophic writings.

إن حقيقة الإنسان جوهر غير مادي، يتميز به على جميع المخلوقات، ويُطلق على هذا الجوهر أسماء مختلفة، بينهما فوارق دقيقة، فهو الروح، وهو النفس، وهو العقل، وهو القلب. لقد صرنا بشرا، بهذا الجوهر المدرِك العالِم العارِف، وليس بجارحة من الجوارح. وهذا الجوهر هو المخَاطب والمطالَب والمُعاتَب والمُعاقَب.

Your time is your life, and your life is your capital: by it you make your trade, and by it you will reach the eternal bounties in the proximity of Allah. Every single breath of yours is a priceless jewel, because it is irreplaceable; once it is gone, there is no return for it. So do not be like fools who rejoice each day as their wealth increases while their lives decrease. What good is there in wealth that increases while one's lifespan decreases?

Do not rejoice except in an increase of knowledge or an increase of good works. Truly they are your two friends who will accompany you in your grave, when your spouse, your wealth, your children, and your friends will remain behind.
