| Contained By True Hearts The Prophet (SAW) said that God has said, "I cannot be contained in hallowed places. Heaven and earth cannot hold Me. But I am contained by true hearts. If you seek Me, search in those hearts." -Rumi, "Mathnawi" |

| Do Not Become Proud Finally Gabriel (AS) gave Muhammad (SAW) these instructions: ‘Do not become proud of your position. Do not beomce harsh towards those weaker than yourself. And always speak of God’s kindness to you.’ And Muhammad (SAW) obeyed these instructions diligently throughout his life. -Ibn Isaq, "The Life of Muhammad" (SAW) |

| This World Is a Madhouse Those who truly know God worship Him with all their resolve; they concede to His ubiquitous bounty and obey all His commandments with the utmost fervor. As their adoration grows so does their obedience, since they are aware that this world is a madhouse and its inhabitants madmen wearing shackles of lust and chains of sin. -Al-Hujwiri, "The Kashf al-Mahjub" |

| Fools Exult in Life Fools exult in life while the pious prepare for the journey ahead. A major portion of their wealth is spent in God's way, and they themselves suffice with the bare minimum, striving toward the hereafter. They even sacrifice fine victuals confident in the faith that they shall be blessed with better in the hereafter. Even God cherishes them because of their conviction and devotion. -Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jillani |

| Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whereof the breadth is as the breadth of the heavens and the earth, which is in store for those who believe in Allah and His messengers. Such is the bounty of Allah, which He bestoweth upon whom He will, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty. (Al-Hadid: 21) |

| Nothing Can Nourish the Soul But Light Wisdom is the table, not bread or meat. Wisdom is the light, food for the soul. No nutriment can compare to the nourishment of light. Nothing can nourish the soul but light. Rid yourself of material needs and be set free. Taste the original victual, the dainty morsel of light. -Rumi, "Mathnawi" |
