Islamic quotes about GOD

[Spiritual Warfare]

There is an English phrase: “A lost soul. But the soul is not lost; it is only buried.” When it is dug out divine life bursts forth like a spring. Sheikh Muzaffer says, “Keep your hands busy with your duties in this world, and your heart busy with God.” Our faith has to be practised daily in our everyday lives. As Sahi, an eminent Sufi mystic exhorts: “A man should be in the marketplace while still working with true reality.”

Remember Him, and all that is pure

The purity of the Sufi is due to his constant remembrance of Allah. The more he remembers Allah, the more he comes to know Him; and the more he comes to know Him, the more he comes to love Him. This is why the act of polishing the mirror of the heart is the key to entering into a love-relationship with Allah. The Sufi’s heart, in other words, is like white snow because of its purity, which it has attained through the remembrance of Allah. It is only a clarified heart that can help us perceive the true beauty and harmony of the universe.

In one important tale, the greatest of all Sufi masters, Rumi seeks to illustrate this idea in a more concrete way. He tells the story of a naked man who jumps into a pool of water in order to escape from being stung by a swarm of bees that have been chasing him and will not relent in their efforts to attack him. But since he cannot remain submerged for very long, he resurfaces for air only to find the bees waiting for him so they can resume their assault. The story sheds light on an important point, namely that the bees represent our remembrance for things in this world, while the water represents the act of remembering Allah. Rumi explains that the heart that is pure not only heads towards the Ocean, but it also becomes a part of it.

[Someone here]

 Quran[2.255]:" Allah , there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great".

and then you wonder why nothing is changing in your life."

[Atb210201]

Leave the judgment to God

And consider yourself to be more sinful than everyone else

Imam Ali

[LambdaDelta]

The world is names and signs, in truth it's He
Whose being is its sole reality.
This world, the world to come, and all besides,
Are Him; know this, that nothing else abides.
There is one essence, but diffused, deflected,
There is one word, but variously inflected;
A man must know the King, and recognize Him,
Although a hundred different clothes disguise Him;
It's not an error, in this way to see Him,
Since He is all, and everything must be Him —
The error's when a man presumes to state
That what he sees and God are separate.

 

Men fear You, but I fear my Self; this devil
Replaces all the good You give with evil!

- Attar. 
Could basically paste the entire prologue to The Conference of the Birds here, it's all amazing. 

 

Beloved, I sought you
here and there,
asked for news of you
from all I met;
then saw you through myself
and found we were identical.
Now I blush to think I ever
searched for signs of you.

- Fakhr al-Din Iraqi
