The ignorant one is dead, the forgetful one is asleep, the sinner is drunk, and the obstinate one is destroyed. Whoever is prohibited from obtaining these three, he is destroyed. If they promise, they are true to their word, and they never speak in jest. His good deeds are not purified as long as he abides in a single sin. He will not deliver himself from his egotism until he ousts from himself all that he knows to be abhorred by Allah.
Life is four kinds.
The life of angels consists in obedience. The hearts of Knowers have eyes That see what onlookers cannot see. Allah erected the Throne as a sign and as tidings for us so that by it the hearts should be guided to Him without trespassing. He did not require the hearts to obtain knowledge of its exact nature. Therefore, let it pass as it came, just as we learned to do from the school of Salaf.
