“We always guide those who strive towards us along our path.” (Quran, Ankaboot). • "The heart is the sanctuary of Allah, so do not let anyone other than Allah reside in the sanctuary of Allah." (Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq) • "Feed your stomachs with hunger, quench your livers with thirst, and wear the garments of grief and sorrow. Perhaps then, you may be able to see Allah Almighty with your hearts." (Prophetic Hadith) • "Wherever you turn, there is the face of Allah." (Quran, Al-Baqarah) • "The faces of all things have turned towards that Being who is alive, self-sustaining, and eternal." (Quran, Taha)• "The Shari'ah is like a river, and reality is like an ocean. Jurists go around the banks of the river, while the wise dive into the depths of the ocean of reality for pearls of knowledge. And the mystics, riding on the boats of salvation, sail across the ocean of reality." (Imam Ali) •
