An ode to Allah الله

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp; the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] starlit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.”

— HOLY QURAN

I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he mentions Me. If he mentions Me to himself, I mention him to Myself; and if he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly better than it. If he draws near to Me a hand’s span, I draw near to him an arm’s length; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.”

- ALLAH, the One and Only, the Sovereign Lord of the Heavens and the Earth.

“I stood, contemplating the moonlit garden,
and saw in its beauty a reflection of the One who created it. In the breeze, I felt the breath of the Merciful, and in the fragrance of the flowers,
the scent of His grace.”

— IBN HAZM

“Good company is a garden in which the heart finds nourishment. Let your companions be those who reflect the love of Allah, for in their presence, you will flourish."

— IBN ARABI
