What can my enemies do to me? My paradise is in my heart, it is with me wherever I go. To imprison me is to provide me with seclusion. To send me into exile is to send me away in the Path of Allah. And to kill me is to make me a martyr.
Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) is to the heart as water is to a fish; see what happens to a fish when it is taken out of water
The sincere hearts and the pious supplications are soldiers which can never be defeated
Imprisoned is he whose heart is imprisoned from Allâh. Captured is he who is captured by his desires.
What can you do with me? My jannah is in my heart! If you take me to jail, I will make zikr of Allah. If you exile me out of my land, I will make takaffur. If you execute me, I would be a shaheed. What can you do with me? Because I am not limited to this dunya. I am living for al-akhira!
A man will never fear something besides Allah unless it be due to a disease in his heart.
Remembrance is to the heart what water is to the fish. And what is the state of a fish that leaves water?
The one who is [truly] imprisoned is the one whose heart is imprisoned from Allah and the captivated one is the one whose desires have enslaved him.
