Al-Ghazali
He who buries his head deep into a nosebag full of food cannot hope to see the invisible world.
Al-Ghazali
In the intricate paths of life when difficulties and hardships confront a man, and the darkness of difficulty and suffering becomes long, it is patience only that acts like a light for a Muslim, that keeps him safe from wandering here and there, and saves him from the muddy marsh of disappointment, desperation and frustration.

Know, O beloved, that man was not created in jest or at random, but marvelously made and for some great end. Although he is not form everlasting, yet he lives for ever and though his body is mean and earthly, yet his spirit is lofty and divine
Al-Ghazali
Whoever determines the truth from people alone will remain lost in the plains of bewilderment. Rather, know the truth, and you will know its people.
Al-Ghazali

Al-Ghazali
Knowledge without action is wastefulness and action without knowledge is foolishness.
Al-Ghazali
Men have such a good opinion of themselves, of their mental superiority and intellectual depth they believe themselves so skilled in discerning the true from the false, the path of safety from those of error, that they should be forbidden as much as possible the perusal of philosophic writings.
Al-Ghazali
You possess only whatever will not be lost in a ship wreck.
