Kutipan-kutipan: Those Who Glorified Allah, Always Touch the Heart,and Knowledge Saves the Heart from the Death

Those who glorified Allah both in open and in secret will be the foremost to enter Paradise on the Day of Resurrection.
-The Prophet Muhammad, as reported by Abd'Allah ibn AbbasHadith translated by Aneela Khalid Arshed.The Crossroad Publishing Company, New York.

Hidden creatures good and bad always touch the heart. The touch of the angel is inspiration; Satanic touches temptations untold. Tarry with patience until your confusion is resolved and you know whom you rejected and who became the leader of your heart.
-Rumi, "Mathnawi"Translated by Aneela Khalid Arshed. 1999. The Crossroad Publishing Company, New York.

Knowledge is the spirit that saves the heart from the death of ignorance; it is the light that saves it from the darkness of iniquity. The hearts of the iniquitous are dead because they are oblivious to God, and the hearts of the heedless are sick because they ignore His commandments.
-Abu Ali Thaqafi, "The Kashf al-Mahjub"Translated by Aneela Khalid Arshed. 1999. The Crossroad Publishing Company, New York.
