  • Man is ephemeral and Allah Eternal. The ephemeral informed the world about the nature and status of the Eternal. Or, you can say that the Eternal informed the world about Himself through the ephemeral. At what point the ephemeral and the Eternal being to know about each other is very difficult to determine. And yet to determine it is very important and essential.
  • Old monarchs rode elephants to set off royal grandeur. Today our children have joy-rides on elephants in zoo.
  • For the truthful man this universe reveals Reality and for the false one this same universe is the mask that conceals Reality.
  • The dove’s fledgelings keep thriving is spite of hawks and falcons. Windstorms cannot blow out all the candles. Lions roar on and the beautiful young deer go frisking around. All these are the Lord’s acts. His creation keeps to its appointed pattern of activity. The Pharaoh killed all the male children, but ‘that’ baby boy escaped. Providence’s dispensations all! Time has progressed, but flies mosquitoes and rats breed still.Germicides produce new germs. Medicine has taken great strides in East and West. But diseases are also on the increase. Man was grieved yesterday, he is not happy even today. The remedy lies in his getting near to his Creator. Why do not people understand?
  • Wealth does not just mean that you should have money in your pocket. Even the sight of your eyes is wealth. The idea flashing across your mind is wealth. The feeling filling your heart is wealth. The blood surging in your veins is wealth. This life itself is wealth and above all faith is wealth, too.
