One who thinks and reflects develops his foresight and Vision.

- Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) The failure to attain perception is itself perception. -Abu Bakr (RA) Hadith: (to a group of people): When you pass by the meadows of Paradise indulge freely in it. They said: O Messeneger of Allah, what are the meadows of Paradise? He replied: The circles of knowlegde. (The above so totally reminded me of Emerson) Whoever knows all things without knowing God-Great and Glorious-is not worthy to be called wise because he does not know the most sublime and highest of all thi ngs. -Imam Al-Ghazali A learned man who doesn t restrain his passions is like a blind man holding a torc h, he guides others but not himself. -Shaykh Sa di Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul, which sometime s helps me and sometimes opposes me. -Imam Al-Ghazali Know that the reality of freedom is the perfection of servitude. -Al-Qushayri May God steal from you all that steals you away from Him. -Rabi a al- Adawiyya Lonliness is better than bad company. -Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani It is impossible to lay hands on that which is not predestined for us, and that which is predestined for us will reach us wherever we are. -Shaykh Sa di Anyone who seeks Allah will surely find him. -Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani *This next paragraph is AMAZING: For instance, if a man ceases to take any concern in worldly matters, conceives a distaste for common pleaures, and appears sunk in depression, the doctor will s ay, This is a case of melancholy, and requires such and such prescription. The ph ysicist will say, This is a dryness of the brain caused by hot weather and cannot be relieved till the air becomes moist. The astrologer will attribute it to some particular conjunction or opposition of plantes. Thus far their wisdom reaches, s ays the Koran. It does not occur to them that what has really happened is this: that the Almighty has a concern for the welfare of that man, and has therefore c ommanded His servants, the planets or the elements, to produce such a condition in him that he may turn away from the world to his Maker.The knowledge of this f act is a lustrous pearl from the ocean of inspirational knowledge, to which all other forms of knowldge are as islands in the sea. -The Alchemy of Happiness, Imam Al-Ghazali

Those whose eyes never see beyond the world of phenomena are like those who mist ake servants of the lowest rank for the king. -The Alchemy of Happiness, Imam Al-Ghazali The true greatness of man lies in his capacity for eternal progress. -The Alchemy of Happiness, Imam Al-Ghazali (I love that book, now different quotes) I am happy even before I have a reason. -Hafiz What is this precious love and laughter Budding in our hearts? It is the glorious sound Of a soul waking up! -Hafiz Dear companions, We have been in love with God For so very, very long. -Hafiz Something missing in my heart tonight Has made my eyes so soft. My voice So tender My need of God Absolutely Clear. -Hafiz (You know, I just can t write enough about Hafiz) *addition* To give pleasure to a single heart by a single kind actis better than a thousand head-bowings in prayer. -Shaykh Sa di Do not sit long with a sad friend. When you go to a garden, do you look at the w eeds? Spend more time with the roses and jasmines. (taken into context) -Maulana Jelaluddin Rumi Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. -Maulana Jelaluddin Rumi Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. -Maulana Jelaluddin Rumi Only from the heart Can you touch the sky. -Maulana Jelaluddin Rumi Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. -Maulana Jelaluddin Rumi

The Eternal looked upon me for a moment with His eye of power, and annihilated m e in His being, and become manifest to me in His essence. I saw I existed throug h Him. -Maulana Jelaluddin Rumi Now is the time to know that all that you do is sacred .Now is the time for you to deeply compute the impossibility that there is anything but grace. -Hafiz Even after all this time The sun never says to the earth, ppens with A love like that, It lights the Whole Sky. -Hafiz When all your desires are distilled You will cast just two votes: To love more, And be happy. -Hafiz This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet. -Maulana Jelaluddin Rumi One who seeks the unseekable cannot subsequently be accused of negligence in seeking what is seekable. -Hujjat al-Islam (the Proof of Islam) Im am Al-Ghazali Knowledge raises the low, but ignorance brings down the mighty. -Ali (RA) The you The ted company of a will get the company of a by its black good friend is like an owner of musk; if you don t buy anything, smell of it. bad friend is like the blacksmith s bellows; if you are not affec dirt, you will be touched by its smoke. You owe Me. Look what ha

Prophet Muhammed (saw) Everyone who is taken by death asks for more time, while everyone who still has time makes excuses for procrastination. Ali Ibn Abi Talib RA

Everyone who is being overtaken by death asks for more time. While everyone who still has time make excuses for procrastination. Ali RA Knowledge is my companion, it is with me wherever I go. My heart is its containe r, not the bookshelf. Ali RA Indeed the whole world is imagination. Only He [Allah] is the real in Reality. W hoever understands this knows the secrets of the spiritual path. Ibn Arabi

A calamity that makes you turn to Allah is better for you then a blessing which makes you forget the remembrance of Allah. Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah Islam is based on naql (texts) and ts we call them naql-heads. -- Shaykh Hamza Yusuf (LOL) Ilm (knowledge) without aql (intelligence) is like having shoes with no feet. And ql without ilm is like having feet with no shoes. Ali RA If a gem falls in to mud it is still valuble, if dust ascends to heaven it remai ns valueless. Shaykh Sa di Lord, fill a Muslim s heart/With a desire so fervent/That it will set his heart af lame/And stir his soul. Muhammad Iqbal Let love be selfless/and truth fearless;/Let our breasts be flooded with light /Ma ke our hearts clear as crystal. Muhammad Iqbal Your true friend is the one who participates in your efforts and for the sake of your gain, is prepared to suffer losses. Ali RA (SO TRUE!) Forgiveness is part of the treasure you need/To craft your falcon wings/And retu rn/To your true realm of/Divine freedom. Hafiz Worship and knowledge while eating haraam is like construction on dung. Imam Al Ghazali In God, there is no sorrow or suffering or affliction. If you want to be free of all affliction and suffering, hold fast to God, and turn wholly to Him, and to no one else. Indeed, all your suffering comes from this: that you do not turn to ward God and no one else. Imam Al Ghazali To completely trust in God is to be like a child who knows deeply that even if h e does not call for the mother, the mother is totally aware of his condition and is looking after him. Imam Al Ghazali A aql (intellect). Some people just have the tex

It s good to leave each day behind, like flowing water, free of sadness. Yesterday is gone and its tale told. Today new seeds are growing. Rumi If you make intense supplication and the timing of the answer is delayed, do not despair of it. His reply to you is guaranteed; but in the way He chooses, not t he way you choose, and at the moment He desires, not the moment you desire. Ibn Ata Allah (another favorite of mine) People oppose things because they are ignorant of them. Imam Al Ghazali The hypocrite looks for faults; the believer looks for excuses. Imam Al Ghazali Anger begins with madness and ends with regret. Ali RA An hour s contemplation is better than a year s adoration. Prophet Muhammad saw Truly there are bondsmen of Allah who are very wise They have renounced the world, fearing fitna [temptation, turmoil] They have looked long at it, and they have realized That this is no place for the living to dwell They have abandoned the world [and its pleasures] at the shore, And have sailed away in ships carved of good deeds.

The human feelings which cause sufferings are: stupidity, hatred, fatigue, lust, attachment to things, and desire. "Let your first thought be to strengthen your natural vitality." "Truth in medicine is an unattainable goal, and the art as described in books is far beneath the knowledge of an experienced and thoughtful physician." "How can anyone think philosophically while listening to old wives' tales founde d on contradictions, which obdurate ignorance, and dogmatism?" "Gentility of character, friendliness and purity of mind, are found in those who are capable of thinking profoundly on abstruse matters and scientific minutiae. " "The self-admirer, generally, should not glorify himself nor be so conceited tha t he elevates himself above his counterparts. Neither should he belittle himself to such an extent that he becomes inferior to his own peers or to those who are inferior both to him and to his fellowmen in the eyes of others. If he follows this advice, he will be freed from self-admiration and feelings of inferiority, and people will call him one who truly knows himself."

"It results from an accumulation of stinginess and avarice in the soul, being on e of the diseases that cause serious harm to the soul." Tragedy tears you apart, sure, but it s your one chance to re-create yourself. You can put yourself back together any way you want. "No Despair With Life, And No Life With Despair" Rulers usually appoint people to watch over their subjects. I appoint you a watc her over me and my behaviour. If you find me at fault in word or action guide me and stop me from doing it. -Umar Ibn Abd al-Aziz

it becomes quiet clear that this agenda which has captivated so many truth seeke rs is nothing more than the externalisation of freemasonry,theosophy and the new age to the public.This is important because it turns out the this agenda is lea ding people into theosophical and freemasonic ideologies.it means that rather th an standing against the freemasonic new world order one world government agenda like the anti new world order movement is supposed to be doing,truth seekers are actually associating themselves with ideologies and organizations that are conn ected to the new world order. When your absence does not alter someone's life, then accept the reality that yo ur presence has no meaning in their life. http://www.2knowmyself.com/how_to_break_up_with_someone_you_still_love
