"Pretension without reality is hypocrisy, and reality without pretension is sincerity,
because he who is grounded in eloquence needs no tongue to communicate with his
Lord."
Expressions only serve to inform another than Allah, for Allah Himself requires no explanation of our circumstances, and others than Allah are not worth so much that we should occupy ourselves with them.
- Sheikh Ali Ibn Usman al-Hujwuri, in his Kashful-Mahjub.
