الداعي إلى محض التقليد مع عزل العقل بالكلية جاهل، والمكتفي بمجرد العقل عن أنوار القرآن والسنة مغرور، فإياك أن تكون من أحد الفريقين وكن جامعاً بين الأص… - Al-Ghazali

"God said to David, "Be not too intimate with men; for two kinds of persons are excluded from My presence: those who are earnest in seeking reward and slack when they obtain it, and those who prefer their own thoughts to the remembrance of Me. The sign of My displeasure is that I leave such to themselves." In"

فَالْقَلْبُ إِذنْ مَوْضِعُ نَظَرِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، فَيَا عَجَباً مِمَّنْ يَهْتَمُّ بِوَجْهِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ مَوْضِعُ نَظَرِ الْخَلْقِ ، فَيَغْسِلُهُ وَيُنَظِّفُهُ مِنَ الأقْذَارِ وَالأَدْنَاسِ ، وَيُزَيِّنُهُ بِمَا أَمْكَنَهُ ، لِئَلاَّ يَطَّلِعَ مَخْلُوقٌ فِيهِ عَلَى عَيْبٍ ، وَلاَيَهْتَمُّ بِقَلْبِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ مَوْضِعُ نَظَر رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، فَيُطَهِّرَهُ وَيُزَيِّنَهُ وَيُطَيِّبَهُ ، كَيْ لاَ يَطَّلِعَ الرَّبُّ جَلَّ وَعَلاَ عَلَى دَنَسٍ فِيهِ وَشَيْنٍ وَآفَةٍ وَعَيْبٍ ، بَلْ يُهْمِلُهُ بِفَضَائِحَ وَأَقْذَارٍ وَقَبَائِحَ ، لَواطَّلَعَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَى وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا ، لَهَجَرُوهُ وَتَبَرَّؤوا مِنْهُ وَطَرَدُوهُ! واللَّهُ المُسْتَعَانُ .

Say to my friends, when they look upon me, dead,
Weeping for me and mourning me in sorrow,
‘Do not believe that this corpse you see is myself,
In the name of God, I tell you, it is not I,
I am a spirit, and this is naught but flesh,
It was my abode and my garment for a time.
I am a treasure, by a talisman kept hid,
Fashioned of dust, which served me as a shrine,
I am a pearl, which has left it’s shell deserted,
I am a bird, and this body was my cage,
Whence I have now flown forth and it is left as a token,
Praise to God, who hath now set me free,
And prepared for me my place in the highest of the Heavens,
Until today I was dead, though alive in your midst.
Now I live in truth, with the grave – clothes discarded.
Today I hold converse with the Saints above,
With no veil between, I see God face to face.
I look upon “Loh-i-Mahfuz” and there in I read,
Whatever was and is, and all that is to be.
Let my house fall in ruins, lay my cage in the ground,
Cast away the talisman, it is a token no more,
Lay aside my cloak, it was but my outer garment.
Place them all in the grave, let them be forgotten,
I have passed on my way and you are left behind,
Your place of abode was no dwelling place for me.
Think not that death is death, nay, it is life,
A life that surpasses all we could dream of here,
While in this world, here we are granted sleep,
Death is but sleep, sleep that shall be prolonged
Be not frightened when death draweth nigh,
It is but the departure for this blessed home,
Think of the mercy and love of your Lord,
Give thanks for His Grace and come without fear.
What I am now, even so shall you be,
For I know that you are even as I am,
The souls of all men come forth from God,
The bodies of all are compounded alike,
Good and evil, alike it was ours.
I give you now a message of good cheer
May God’s peace and joy forever more be yours.
