“A special spark rises

from the sorrow of a burning heart.

Have you ever heard

how the sigh of a broken heart

touches the Beloved?”
― Rumi

“The summary of the advice of all prophets is this;
Find yourself a mirror.”
― Shams Tabrizi

“Hatem said: You are not safe in this world unless you possess four characteristics - (1) overlook the ignorance of man (2) conceal your ignorance from them, (3) seek their good (4) don't seek anything from them.”
― Imam Al-Ghazali

“Another sign of the learned man of the hereafter is that he keeps himself distant from the ruling authorities and avoids their company, because this world is sweet, ever-new and its bridle is in their hands. He who comes near them is not free from their pleasures and harms. They are mostly unjust and do not obey the advices of the learned men. The learned man who frequents them will look to their grandeurs and then think God's gift upon him as insignificant. To keep company with the rulers is the key to evils.”
― Imam Al-Ghazali
