Quotes by Al-'Arabi ad-Darqawi (?)

“The Powerful, may His majesty be exalted, is not powerless in anything at all. How many were like stone of harder still, and yet the fountains of wisdom gushed from their hearts and flowed on their tongues. This is known. Allah Almighty says: There are some stones from which rivers gush forth, and others which split open and water comes out, and others which crash down from fear of Allah. (2:74)”
― Shaykh Mawlay al-'Arabi ad-Darqawi, The Daraqawi Way
