| Introduction | "Look at the sun." The man replied that he could not look at the sun because it was too bright. Ja'far Al-Sadiq replied: "If you cannot see the created, how can you expect to see the creator?" --- "I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages..." ~ Socrates --- "In God alone, essence (what He is) and existence (that he is) coincide." ~ Ibn Sina (Avicenna) --- "God is the nonhuman and transcendent first cause of all being."~ Ibn Rushd --- "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~ Jalal ad-Din Rumi --- "In the earlier days I used to be a passionate defender of the thesis that the quiddities are the primary constituents of reality and existence is conceptual, until my Lord gave me spiritual guidance and let me see His demonstration" ~ Mulla Sadra --- "It is by this choice that you become human. Before this choice you are nothing, you are just an existence without essence." ~ Dr. Ali Shariati |
