Additional quotes by Al-Ghazali

ولا تظن أنّا نعني بالعالم العلوي السموات فإنها علو وفوق في حق عالم الشهادة والحس، ويشارك في إدراكه البهائم. وأما العبد فلا يفتح له باب الملكوت ولا يصير ملكوتيا إلا ويبدل في حقه الأرض غير الأرض والسموات، فيصير كل داخل تحت الحس والخيال أرضه ومن جملتها السموات، وكل ما ارتفع عن الحس فسماؤه وهذا هو المعراج الأول لكل سالك ابتدأ سفره إلى قرب الحضرة الربوبية
