All things in balance

He raised up the sky, and set all things in balance; he commanded you not to upset that balance, but to respect it. He laid out the earth for all creatures; and he planted upon it trees that bear blossom and fruit, husks that carry grain, and herbs that emit a fragrance. Which of the Lord's blessing would you deny? He created human beings from dry clay, as a potter creates pots; and he created spirites from the flames of fire. Which of the Lord's blessings would you deny?..-Quran,Ar-Rahman, Surah 55:7-16

Children Learn what they Live

Live amongst people in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company ~ Hazrat Ali

Love is not all you need, nor all your wife or husband needs, and certainly not all your children need. We all need respect, especially from those who are closest and most intimately connected with us.

How excellent is he who takes no thought of his own interest so that his patience is for God's sake not for the saving of himself from Hell

How excellent is he who takes no thought of his own interest so that his patience is for God's sake not for the saving of himself from Hell; and his asceticism is for God's sake, not for the purpose of bringing himself into Paradise. This is the mark of true sincerity.~ Hasan al-Basri

I struggled hard but did not reap the fruits of my labors. Then I gazed into myself and found that my ego and my heart were unified

I struggled hard but did not reap the fruits of my labors. Then I gazed into myself and found that my ego and my heart were unified. When the ego and the heart are united, a portion of all that shines upon the heart is seized by the self. Thus I came to know the cause of my dilemma, that the light illuminating my heart was being seized by my ego.-Al-Nuri, in Islamic Sufism

When you purify your hearts just as you purify your raiment, union with God will follow

When you purify your hearts just as you purify your raiment, union with God will follow. You cannot become a Sufi by merely wearing coarse woolen shirts and following strict ritual, pretending to be pious while inside your hearts you bear malice and avarice. A real Sufi has attained a state of perfection on the inside. If you sincerely seek union with God, then seek Him inside your hearts and leave the world alone.-Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jillani, Fayuz E Yazdani
