“Let love lead your soul.
Make it a place to retire to,
a kind of cave, a retreat
for the deep core of being.”
― Farid Al-Din Attar

“Whatever beauty man may be able to create with his hands, it will be only conceit to deem it worthy of God; therefore, the simplest that man can conceive is the greatest that he can do to express the glory of God.”
― Muhammad Asad, The Road to Mecca

“On the Day I Die On the day I die, when I am being carried toward the grave, don’t weep. Don’t say, He’s gone. He’s gone. Death has nothing to do with going away. The sun sets and the moon sets, but they’re not gone. Death is a coming together. The tomb looks like a prison, but it’s really release into union. The human seed goes down into the ground like a bucket into the well where Joseph is. It grows and comes up full of some unimagined beauty. Your mouth closes here and immediately opens with a shout of joy there.”
― Rumi, A Year With Rumi

“It was not the philosophers and the prophets who taught us to believe in life after death; all they did was give form and spiritual content to an instinctive perception as old as man himself.”
― Muhammad Asad, The Road to Mecca
