“How long will you keep pounding on an open door Begging for someone to open it?”

O God! if I worship Thee in fear of Hell, burn me in Hell; and if I worship Thee in hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise; but if I worship Thee for Thine own sake, withhold not thine everlasting beauty.

O Lord, Once I wanted You so much I didn’t even dare walk past Your house- And now I am not even worthy to be let in.

How many gifts and graces You have given me! How many favors You have fed me from your hand! I look for your love in all directions, then suddenly its blessing burns in me.

If I repent now will God forgive me? No, but if God forgives you, you will repent.

I love Allah: I have no time left in which to hate the devil.

He does not refuse sustenance to the one who speaks ill of Him. How then could He refuse sustenance to the one whose soul is over flowing with love for Him?

Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word My choicest hours Are the hours I spend with You – O God, I can’t live in this world Without remembering You.

Since no one really knows anything about God, those who think they do are just troublemakers.

Great doubt will eventually lead to great awakening.

O Beloved of Hearts, I beseech only You. Have pity this day on those who turn to You. My Hope, my Rest, my Delight, this heart can love none other but You.

O Allah, You know that the only thing I want in this life Is to be obedient to Your command. Even the living sight of my eyes Is service at your court

True devotion is for itself: not to desire heaven nor to fear hell.

O my Lord, whatever share of this world You have bestowed on me, bestow it to my enemies, and whatever share of the next world You have for me, give it to my friends. You are enough for me.

I swear that ever since the first day You brought me back to life, The day You became my Friend, I have not slept – And even if You drive me from your door, I swear again that we will never be separated – Because You are alive in my heart

Your prayers are your light; Your devotion is your strength; Sleep is the enemy of both. Your life is the only opportunity that life can give you. If you ignore it, if you waste it, You will only turn to dust.

I seek forgiveness from Allah for the lack of my sincerity when I say I seek the forgiveness of Allah

Never beg for someone’s kindness.

Give, but, if possible, spare the poor man the shame of begging.

Can’t you see that I’m only advising you to beg yourself not to be so dumb

I beg of God that ye will be bringers of joy, even as are the angels in Heaven.

I’ve learned to stop begging for love. At the wrong door.

I don’t want to beg or promise you things I can’t give you. There isn’t much of me to give, but what I have is yours. This is all up to you, Sadie. If you want me, I’m yours. If you can’t do this, then I’ll walk away and leave you alone. I swear.

We can’t fight and beg from those we fight at the same time.

You knew that what is given or granted can be taken away, that what is begged can be refused; but that what is earned is kept.
