Ibn Ata Allah
The covenant of your servanthood is that you be a servant to God, not to someone else, and that you know that everything except God is a servant to God, as He Most High has said, There is none in the heaven and the earth but cometh unto the Compassionate as a servant.
Ibn Ata Allah

Ibn Ata Allah

Ibn Ata Allah
God Most High has said, Is the reward of virtue aught save virtue? . . . Know, O man, that the covenant of servanthood is incumbent upon you, and that the covenant of Lordship is incumbent upon His magnanimity, as He Most High has said, . . . and fulfill your covenant, I shall fulfill My covenant.

Ibn Ata Allah
Whenever there remains any support for the ego within, even if it be only an atom's weight, then you are pretentious and have a devil who leads you astray.
Ibn Ata Allah
Invoking brings the heart closer to the hereafter and keeps the world away from the heart, even though the world is around it. Invoking warns the heedless heart to abandon its pleasures and deceptions.
Ibn Ata Allah
If you make intense supplication and the timing of the answer is delayed, do not despair of it. His reply to you is guaranteed but in the way He chooses, not the way you choose, and at the moment He desires, not the moment you desire.
Ibn Ata Allah
One of the signs of relying on deeds is loss of hope when a misstep occurs.
Ibn Ata Allah
The signs of the soundness of the servant's love for his Lord are three: absence of self-willing pleasure in every event which takes place through divine decree and seeing the perfection of the Beloved in everything and being content with Him in everything through submission to Him in all things.
Ibn Ata Allah
The most beloved manifestation of obedience to God is trust in Him
Ibn Ata Allah
