O you who complain to people about your misfortunes, what good will it do you to complain to creatures? They can bring you neither benefit nor harm. If you rely on them and associate partners with the Lord of the Truth, they will make you distant from Him, cause you to fall into His displeasure.

Someone who seeks to travel the path of Allah should begin with a sound repentance from all his sins.

The beginning of knowledge is the intention, then listening, then understanding, then action, then preservation, and then spreading it.

There, by the starlit fences The wanderer halts and hears My soul that lingers sighing About the glimmering weirs.
