“Eid ul-Adha is not only about sacrificing an animal. Before sacrificing the animal, we must first put the knife to our pride, selfishness, and ego, and slaughter the negative desires and animal living inside our hearts, minds, thoughts, and personalities. Only then can we achieve the true meaning of Eid ul-Adha. May Allah accept all our good deeds and sacrifices.”

“Now, we must understand that the real object of the Shariah is to discipline human beings in such a way that they may make the fulfilment of their obligations to the Creator as well as of their obligations to the creatures the means of gaining the pleasure of Allah. In fact, the injunctions of the Shariah all with regard to these two duties yield the good of worldly life as well, and when they seem to go against worldly good, it always turns out that public good has been given precedence over individual good, or that the situation entailed a spiritual harm greater than worldly good which has been eliminated.”

“The really significant way in which Sufism survived, however, was in the individualistic and highly philosophical form called erfan, mystical “knowledge.” The domestication of mysticism among the Shiah mullahs was largely the achievement of Mullah Sadra, although when he died in 1640 he probably had more mullah detractors than mullah admirers. He was a man who, after a formal madreseh education and informal study with the leading Shiah divines of his time, withdrew to a village near Qom to spend fifteen years of ascetic devotion and self-purification until he achieved the “direct” vision of the intelligible world. To see directly the reality of the world that philosophy revealed indirectly was to see through “illumination.”

“Sohravardi also found fault with Avicenna for not going far enough in another area, the master’s critique of the non-mystical theologians of the Islamic world. In Avicenna’s time these nonmystical theologians lived to the west of Iran, and therefore Avicenna called them “Westerners” to indicate not only their geographical location (from Baghdad to Spain) but also their unfortunate lack of interest in “Illumination” offered by the eastern rising of the mystical sun.”

“फौजियों के नाम और उनकी गौरव-गाथाएं उनकी युनिट में अक्सर दोहराई जाती हैं। कभी-कभी देश भी शायद उन्हें याद कर लेता होगा पर शहीद की पत्नी का कर्ज़ ये देश कैसे चुकाएगा? देश के लिए जान देने वाले सिपाहियों के बच्चों का जवाबदेह कौन है जो बिना बाप की छत्रछाया के बड़े होते हैं।' कुसुम अपनी ही धुन में बोले जा रही थी।”
