“Every step of the way to heaven is heaven.”

It is impossible to fulfill the law concerning love for Me, God eternal, apart from the law concerning love for your neighbors.

Charity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.

The soul is in God and God in the soul, just as the fish is in the sea and the sea in the fish.

To a brave man, good and bad luck are like his left and right hand. He uses both.

Ponder the fact that God has made you a gardener, to root out vice and plant virtue.

There is nothing we can desire or want that we do not find in God.

Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.

Whoever loves himself or the world inordinately becomes incompatible with himself.

What is it you want to change? Your hair, your face, your body? Why? For God is in love with all those things and he might weep when they are gone.

The devil fears hearts on fire with love of God.

A soul cannot live without loving. It must have something to love, for it was created to love.

The strongest and purest love is not the one that starts from impressions, but the one that comes from admiration.

The human heart is always drawn by love.

Love does not stay idle.

Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.

Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.

Your personal nature seeks its paradise.

Heaven has not learned of my arrival, and my departure will not in the least diminish it beauty and grandeur. I will sleep underground, for us ephemeral mortals, the only eternity is the moment and drinking to the moment is better than weeping for it.

In this world there is a paradise, whoever does not enter it will not enter the Paradise of the Hereafter.

What can you do with me? My jannah is in my heart! If you take me to jail, I will make zikr of Allah. If you exile me out of my land, I will make takaffur. If you execute me, I would be a shaheed. What can you do with me? Because I am not limited to this dunya. I am living for al-akhira!

In monasteries, seminaries, retreats and synagogues, they fear hell and seek paradise. Those who know the mysteries of God never let that seed be planted in their souls.

Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!

To-day is thine to spend, but not to-morrow; Counting on morrows breedeth bankrupt sorrow: O squander not this breath that Heaven hath lent thee; Make not too sure another breath to borrow.

A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven.
