“It’s funny the way memories bubble up whenever I clean. I do wonder if that’s the same for everyone—for everyone who cleans, that is.”

“Ibn Mas'ud said, "When 'Umar died nine-tenth of all knowledge vanished with him." The people were shocked and said, "How can this be when among us now are still many of the great companions?" Ibn Mas'ud replied,"I am not speaking of the knowledge of fiqh and the science of judgements, I'm speaking about the knowledge of Allah." This struggle of isolation, hunger, sleeplessness, weeping, fear and endless service to men was for this end. The journey is only for knowledge of Allah and the whole of it lies in detachment from everything that passes away. First from what is displeasing to Allah, then from one's self-illusion and desires, and then from all men and all otherness until there is only isolation and extreme nearness to Allah.”

“بلاشبہ ہمارے لیے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے تمام صحابہ واجب الاحترام ہیں، اور بڑا ظلم کرتا ہے وہ شخص جو ان کی کسی غلطی کی وجہ سے ان کی ساری خدمات پر پانی پھیر دیتا ہے اور ان کے مرتبے کو بھول کر گالیاں دینے پر اتر آتا ہے۔ مگر یہ بھی کچھ کم زیادتی نہیں ہے کہ اگر ان میں سے کسی نے کوئی غلط کام کیا تو ہم محض صحابیت کی رعایت سے ان کو "اجتہاد" قرار دینے کی کوشش کریں۔ بڑے لوگوں کے غلط کام اگر ان کی بڑائی کے سبب سے اجتہاد بن جائیں تو بعد کے لوگوں کو ہم کیا کہہ کر ایسے "اجتہادات" سے روک سکتے ہیں۔”

“For their surface area, insects weigh very little. A beetle, falling from a high altitude, quickly achieves terminal velocity: air resistance prevents it from falling very fast, and, after alighting on the ground, it will walk away, apparently none the worse for the experience… In contrast, human beings are characteristically maimed or killed by any fall of more than a few dozen feet: because of our size, we weigh too much for our surface area.”

“Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. Matt. xx. 18. Never had there been such a going up to Jerusalem as that which Jesus here proposes to His disciples. He goes up voluntarily. The act was not enforced by any external compulsion. Jerusalem might at this time have been avoided. It was deliberately sought. It was a going up to a triumph to be reached through defeat, a coronation to be attained through ignominy and humiliation. O believer, in your walk through the world today, be strengthened, be comforted, be inspired, by the spectacle of the Captain of your salvation thus going up to Jerusalem! And remember, in all those apparently downward passages of your life, where sorrow, and it may be death, lie before you, that all such descents, made or endured in the Spirit of Jesus, are really upgoing steps, leading you to the mount of God and the resurrection glory.”

“When you make righteous choices and then experience the eventual results, you learn to love what is good. Likewise, when you make unrighteous choices and then experience the eventual consequences, you learn why sin is best avoided.”
