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

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 will not serve Allah like a laborer, in expectation of my wages.

May Allah steal from you All that steals you from Him.

The real work is in the Heart: Wake up your Heart! Because when the heart is completely awake, Then it needs no Friend.

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

You know of the how, but I know of the how-less.

Blemishes are hid by night and every fault forgiven; darkness makes any woman fair.

I will never forgive Joe for that awful operation he had performed on Rosemary. It is the only thing I have ever felt bitter toward him about.

Forgiveness can be bittersweet. It contains the sweetness of the release of a story that has caused us pain, but also the poignant reminder that even our dearest relationships change over the course of a lifetime.

Forgiveness is a way of opening up the doors again and moving forward, whether it’s a personal life or a national life.

A natural law; ‘forgive them or become them.’ slowly, unnoticeably, surely.

Every person I failed to forgive, I became.

My past life is abundantly full of God’s mercy, and, above all sin, stands the forgiving love of the Crucified.

If there are occasions when my grape turned into a raisin and my joy bell lost its resonance, please forgive me. Charge it to my head and not to my heart.
