Famous Ibn al-Husayn al-Sulami Quotes

“Whether a friend is with you or away from you, continue loving him. 'Umar ibn Ahmad recites a poem of Yazid al-Muhallabi: 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. (p. 95)”

“This is the foundation of the philosophy of Futuwwah. Futuwwah is a state of mind. It means placing other people above oneself. It is being generous and altruistic. It is self-denial, immunity to disappointment, indulgence toward other people's short-comings. It is a fearless struggle against tyranny, and above all, it is love. Love is the essence of Futuwwah; love of God, love of His creation, love of Love. (p. 13)”

“Futuwwah is the way of the fata. In Arabic, fata literally means a handsome, brave youth. After the enlightenment of Islam, following the use of the word in the Holy Koran, fata (plural: fityan) came to mean the ideal, noble, and perfect man whose hospitality and generosity would extend until he had nothing left for himself; a man who would give all, including his life, for the sake of his friends. According to the Sufis, Futuwwah is a code of honorable conduct that follows the example of the prophets, saints, sages, and the intimate friends and lovers of Allah. (p. 6)”
