STATIONS OF THE TRAVELERS Quotes

“The station of tawbah is not finalized except by repenting from anything save the True One, then observing any defect in that repentance, and then repenting from this observance.”

“Every great move in one’s life is induced by a great influence. Taking the road to devotion and purification is inspired by an invitation from Allah. That invitation could be in the form of a transformative experience that enlightens the heart and guides the soul. It could be as brief as lightning. One must be careful not to miss these opportunities. Allah said: {وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفْئِدَتَهُمْ وَأَبْصَارَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ} {And We will turn away their hearts and their eyes just as they refused to believe in it the first time…} (al-An‘âm 6:110)”
