Shi Ite Quotes

“A Muslim just follows Allah. Sunni-Shiah? That's farga, the groups—Allah discourages this in the Quran, you know, never ever form the groups.”
― Michael Muhammad Knight, Taqwacores: A Novel

“During salât (Islamic prayers) the body is metamorphosed into a manifestation of the sacred. These bodily postures are very similar to the bodily postures one observes in Hindu Hatha Yoga, which is a branch of Tantric Yoga. Islam's unitary, holistic view of the body and spirit is evident in the alchemical saying of the Shi'ite Imams, 'arwâhunâ ajsâdunâ wa-ajsâdunâ arwâhunâ' (our spirits are our bodies and our bodies are our spirits).”
― Laurence Galian, Jesus, Muhammad and the Goddess
