Ranks of the Divine Seekers A Parallel English-Arabic Text. Volume 1 (Islamic Translation) Quotes

“Whosoever wishes that his vision be truthful must seek to attain truthfulness, consume nothing but what is lawful, hold fast to the commandments and prohibitions. Furthermore, he should sleep in the state of ritual purity, face the Qibla and mention God until overtaken by sleep. The vision of such a one is seldom false. In addition, the most truthful of visions are those seen in the early morning [before dawn], as that is the time of divine descent, and proximity of mercy and forgiveness, respite from the devils. Its opposite is the vision seen in the early part of the night when the devils and devilish souls are spread about.”

“There are three things here: the correspondence of the remedy to the illness, the physician’s dispensation of it, and reception by the ill person. If any of these is left out, healing is not attained, and when they all come together, the healing must occur, by the leave of God the Exalted.”

“Part of [the benefit of God’s making one fall into sin] is also that the servant attains the ranks of humility, meekness and lowliness as well as neediness before Him, for the ego has a tendency to rival lordship; if it had the power it would claim what the Pharaoh claimed, but He has predestined and dominated and all other than Him is incapable and dominated.”

“It is recorded in the two Sahihs that the Prophet, God grant him blessing and peace, said: “Shun the seven destroyers.’’ They said, “What are they?’’ He said, “Ascribing partners to God, sorcery, killing a soul that God has forbidden except justly, consuming usury, consuming an orphan’s property, fleeing from the battlefield, and slandering chaste, innocent believing women.”
