You simply cannot dismiss the things around you as mere coincidence. The very structure and design of plants, animals, and the skies clearly point to the divine order established by God.
— Ibn Sina
كلُّ ما تجاهلتُه جاءني طوعًا،
وكلُّ ما طاردتُه أفلتَ من يدي.
الحياةُ تجودُ على منِ استغنى،
وتُذِلُّ من تعلَّقَ وتشبَّث.
تبردُ نارُ النفسِ بالاستغناء…
استغنِ يا ولدي،
فمَن تركَ… مَلَك.
— شمس التبريزي
Hz. Resûlullah ﷺ şöyle buyurdu:
"Benim dünya ile ne işim olur? Ben dünyada ancak bir ağacın altında gölgelenen, daha sonra da kalkıp giden bir yolcu gibiyim."
-Tirmizî
“Segue o teu destino,
Rega as tuas plantas,
Ama as tuas rosas.
O resto é a sombra
De árvores alheias”.
Fernando Pessoa, poeta, escritor, jornalista e dramaturgo.
“Forgive me when I prostrate while my mind is distracted. Forgive me when I repent and then return to sin, for I have no other refuge than You, O Allah.”
When legs break, God gives wings, which are worth more;
Likewise in pits he opens up a door.
God says, ‘Don’t think about being on a tree
Or in the pit—look at Me; I’m the Key!’
— Rumi
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
"It is not for the believer to humiliate himself." They said: "How does he humiliate himself?" He said: "By taking on a trial which he can not bear."
-(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2254)
Allāh possesses a Secret, Hidden Name — the Ism al-Aʿẓam — known only to the purest of hearts and disclosed to certain classical Sufi masters. Thus spoke Sidi Ahmad al-Tijani:
(1/)
“Kadın kırk yıl sevse, sevgisini gizleyebilir; fakat bir gün nefret etse, bu yüzünden ve dilinden belli olur. Erkek ise kırk yıl nefret etse, bunu gizleyebilir; fakat bir gün sevse, bütün uzuvları sevgisine şahitlik eder.”
||Mehâsin ve’l-Ezdâd||
