“You are sitting on a great and precious treasure, but unfortunately, you do not know how to benefit from it. Open your eyes, dig the earth, and you will find gold and jewels there. Your truest wealth is the intellect and wisdom that Allah has engraved in your soul.”
“The greatest event for man is himself and what happens in his own small circle. A pain in one part of his body is more important to him than a war anywhere else in the world. If your stove is not lit at home, the most important thing for you is to light the stove and keep warm.”
“People resort to extraordinary means to eliminate the sorrow and anxiety arising from the emptiness in their souls, but nothing can fill this abyss within them or eliminate this desolate desert. Man becomes increasingly lonely, corrupt, and estranged from himself.”
“One of the weaknesses of modern man is his constant expectation of being loved, admired, and sought after by others. He has come to the point where he cannot sustain his existence without this. He cannot love or devote himself to something to the extent of sacrificing himself and spending all his energy on it.”
“Everything is based on self-interest. Everyone acts with calculation. No one will put their hand in hot water and take it out into cold water without getting paid. He does not know his neighbor, does not visit him, and does not learn of his death. Man is unhappier than ever before.”
“In cities covered by a dirty, smoky atmosphere, we live like monkeys shut in cages. Cities are becoming increasingly unlivable and contrary to human nature. Fetching water from the fountain, baking bread, and hearing the crowing of roosters are things of the past.”
“Suffering is one of the most fundamental realities of life. Every person experiences this in their life. Our whole life is a struggle against suffering. It is inevitable for man to suffer. Immediately after a small joy, suffering comes, and joy costs us dearly.”
“Do not be deceived by the appearance of anything. “Do not think every shining thing is gold.” There are many shiny apples that are worm-eaten inside. There are many large, hulking men who look like wrestlers but are cowards. There are many who appear happy on the outside, laughing loudly, but are filled with sorrow, their hearts bleeding. There are many who appear to be scholars but are utterly ignorant; they would mistake the letter elif for mertek.”
“Childhood was our paradise, and we have lost it. What is paradise? A place where there is no duty or responsibility, no good or evil. A child does not know good from evil. When their mind matures and they begin to understand good and evil, people lose forever that happy, pleasant, and free era of paradise.”
“Humanity tries to flee from itself as quickly as possible, like galloping horses, without looking back. Wherever you run, my friend, you cannot escape yourself! You will find yourself everywhere, and wherever you flee, you take your bad qualities along with your good ones.”
“Remember Allah, O mankind, who fills the fields in summer with wheat, barley, oats, corn, chickpeas, lentils, sesame, broad beans, and beans as a storehouse of sustenance! Even if you do not lift your forehead from prostration day and night, you cannot give enough thanks for such beauty and blessings.”
