“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”

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.

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

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.

I have friends whose society is delightful to me; they are persons of all countries and of all ages; distinguished in war, in council, and in letters; easy to live with, always at my command.

Study to practice in life that which the Lord commands, and then be you assured that you shall never hear nor read the same without fruit.

The expression “from above” is for us only a way of speaking. Many receive from above the command for action – we call it intuition.

Although genius always commands admiration, character most secures respect. The former is more the product of the brain, the latter of heart-power; and in the long run it is the heart that rules in life.

Better a cautious commander, and not a rash one.

Example is the softest and least invidious way of commanding.

All things that God would have us do are hard for us to do–remember that–and hence, he oftener commands us than endeavours to persuade.

To have command is to have all the power you will ever need. To have all the power you will ever need, is to have the world in the palm of you hand.
