Gems Beautiful Quotes, Proverbs, Sayings

He who takes pride in his good deeds is in sin, and he who is ashamed of his evil deeds is in obedience.
- [Ja'afar al Sadiq]
 
Rely on the All-Merciful in all your affairs; One who relies on Him is never at loss. The hypocrite looks for faults of others; the believer looks for excuses. Whenever you interact with people, deal with them as you would wish yourself to be dealt with by them, for a worshiper's faith is incomplete until he wants for other people what he wants for himself.

- [Imam al Ghazali ra]
 
If God is with you, then what do you fear, and if God isn't with you, in what can you have hope?

[Hasan al basri ra]
 
It is a false hope which expects forgiveness, while knowingly persisting in sin.

[Abdullah bin Khabeeq]
 
"Nothing is difficult if you seek it through your Lord, and nothing easy if you seek it through your self." — Ibn Attaillah al-Sakandari
 
One for spring...

Everyone has turned their face toward some direction.
But the saints have turned in the direction without directions.
In the direction without directions, all is spring.
Any other direction holds nothing but the cold of December.
Rumi
 
One for this morning, where ever you are... (come out, come out!)

The morning breeze spreads it's fresh smell...
We must get up and take that in,
That wind which let's us live.
Breathe, Breathe, before it's gone!
Rumi?
 
One for now...

You try to live in the past,
you can't live in the past.
You try to live in the future,
you can't live in the future.
You're stuck!
And if tomorrow should decide to come,
it must come as now.
Prem Rawat

Sometimes I wonder... whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on,
or by imbeciles who really mean it.

Mark Twain
 
"The believer speaks little, but does much. And the hypocrite talks a lot, but does little. The believer's speech is wisdom, his silence is contemplation, his gaze is pondering, his actions are righteous. So if this is your state, you shall perpetually be in worship."- Fudayl bin Iyyad

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.
 
Only Breath

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu,
Buddhist, sufi or zen. Not any religion

or cultural system. I am not from the East
or the West, not out of the ocean or up

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all. I do not exist,

am not an entity in this world or the next,
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any

origin story. My place is placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two
worlds as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.

Jalal al-Din Rumi
