Real filth is the one inside. The rest
simply washes off.
There is only one type of dirt that
cannot be cleansed with pure waters,
and that is the stain of hatred and
bigotry contaminating the soul.
You can purify your body through
abstinence and fasting, but only
…. Love will purify your soul.

My Lord, how can it be?
They blame You for their sorrow,
but in their sorrow they return to You.

inPeople count with self-satisfaction the number of times they have recited the name of God on their prayer beads, but they keep no beads for reckoning the number of idle words they speak. The caliph `Umar (radi Allahu ‘anhu) said, “take account of yourselves before you are taken account of”.

Posted Ibn Ata'illah al-Iskandari, Quotes, Sufism
inBy dhikr you leave behind heedlessness and forgetfulness, and you keep your heart present with Allah, Almighty and Exalted. The best way to approach His Presence is by reciting the name ‘Allah,’ in the heart or on the tongue, or by reciting any of His Names.

① Water pours down in such abundance that the filth is completely washed away;
② The sun shines intensely, so much so that all traces of filth are burned away.
Similarly, there are only two ways to attain purification of the heart:
① To engage in so much dhikr that mercy rains down upon one’s heart – to such extents that it eliminates all filth, and cures the diseases of the heart in the same process;
② To remain in the company of a righteous Shaykh and serve him. Then, like the sun, the heart of the Shaykh shines it’s rays upon the heart of the disciple. The resulting blessings then remove all signs of the filth and a person’s heart is rendered pure.

inAl-Imam al-Shirazi rahimahi Llah once said:
Once, I stayed up the night with my father, while everyone around us remained asleep.
I said to him:
Not a single person got up to even pray two rak’ahs?
He responded:
It would have been better to sleep, my son, than to speak negatively of others.
‘Umar ibn Abd-Aziz once said:
We lived in a time when we considered righteousness, not in fasting or prayer, but in withholding oneself from speaking poorly of others, for a person who spends his nights praying and days fasting will have his deeds go bankrupt on the Day of Resurrection if he doesn’t protect his tongue.

Suffers their dust to be thrown in his eyes

Sufism is not wearing a robe that you patch
And it is not the shedding of tears when the singers sing
It is not crying out, nor dancing, nor musical entertainment
And it is not swooning as if you had become possessed
Sufism is rather your serenity, without distress
And following the truth of the Qur’an and the religion.
-Shaykh al-Islam al-Hujjah Ibrahim bin Abdullah Niasse (rahimahu Llah)
quoting in his magnum opus Kashif al-Ilbas –

If you part from us,
may God lead you to beautiful places.
When you come to us,
you are always welcome.
When you go,
do not fear that we will ever forget you.
When you come,
do not feel that we will ever have enough of you.
[al-Sulami, 11th century Sufi]

Do you rebel against Allah when you claim to love Him?
By my life, this is an extraordinary example!
If your love had been true, then you would have obeyed Him
The lover obeys the one he loves
