Khidr Quotes

“Bersabar bersama Khidr tidak cukup dengan mengikuti kurikulum beserta buku-buku yang menyertainya. Bersabar bersama Khidr membutuhkan satu alat lagi bernama spiritualitas. Spiritualitas dalam hal ini bukan tasawwuf tetapi al-Ihsan: merasa melihat Tuhan di mana pun dan kapan pun, atau merasa dilihat Tuhan di mana pun dan kapan pun. Al-Ihsan, inilah sesungguhnya tonggak keIslaman.”
― Imran Nazar Husein

“Having Khidr as a master gives the disciple a transcendent dimension. It confers a 'personal, direct, and immediate bond with the Godhead' . . . Each disciple becomes what Khidr is, the center of the world.”
― Tom Cheetham, All the World an Icon: Henry Corbin and the Angelic Function of Beings

“When you say the name of Khezr (or Khadir) in company you should always add the greeting "Salaam aliekum!" since he may be there - immortal and anonymous, engaged on some mysterious karmic errand. Perhaps he'll hint of his identity by wearing green, or by revealing knowledge of the occult and hidden. But he's something of a spy, and if you have no need to know he's unlikely to tell you. Still, one of his functions is to convince skeptics of the existence of the marvelous, to rescue those who are lost in deserts of doubt and dryness. So he's needed now more than ever, and surely still moves among us playing his great game.”
― Peter Lamborn Wilson, Sacred Drift: Essays on the Margins of Islam
