The Greatest Jihad:Combat with the Self

Selected Quotations (1)

*   The whole world and what exists in it along with its supericial

aspects is not worth even a cent by comparison to the station prepared for the righteous servants of God.

*   This world, with all its superficial splendor and glitter is too

insignificant to be worthy of love.

*    What values does this leeting and apparently sweet life have

(assuming that it is very sweet) in comparison to endless

chastisement?

*   Attention to other than God covers man with veils of darkness and

light.

*   If any worldly affair is a cause for man's attention to be directed

toward the world and to neglect God, the Exalted, it raises dark

veils.

*  Be of the party of Allah; restrain yourselves from the splendor and

glitter of life and artiiciality.
