“Know, O beloved, that man was not created in jest or at random, but marvellously made and for some great end. Although he is not form everlasting, yet he lives for ever; and though his body is mean and earthly, yet his spirit is lofty and divine”

“Aku telah menerobos setiap celah yang gelap, aku telah menyerang setiap persoalan, aku telah menyelam ke dalam setiap lautan, aku telah meneliti akidah semua sekte, aku telah menelanjangi semua doktrin rahasia setiap komunitas. Semua ini kulakukan agar aku dapat membedakan antara kebenaran dan kesesatan, antara tradisi yang sahih dan pembaruan yang bid'ah”
― Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

“Hendaklah tukang-tukang cerita waspada terhadap hal-hal bohong dan hikayat-hikayat yang menyajikan perbuatan salah, atau yang tujuan baiknya tidak dapat difahamkan oleh umum. Atau, cerita itu merupakan satu pertarungan antara yang baik dengan buruk, lalu yang buruk mendapat pembelaan yang berlebihan sebelum dikalahkan oleh yang baik. Tanpa disedari, hal ini memberanikan orang berbuat dosa (Ihya' Ulumuddin).”
― Imam al-Ghazali
