'In the heart, there is an emptiness and a need which nothing can satisfy except the remembrance of Allah (Swt). When remembrance becomes the watchword of the heart, then the servant continuously remembers Allah (Swt). Wherever he is, the tongue will follow. This is the remembrance which fills that emptiness and satisfies that need. He who practises it is rich without possessions, honoured without followers and revered without rank. One who neglects it is, by contrast, poor with all his wealth, abased with all his rank and power, worthless with all his followers'.
- Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (rh) -
(An extract from: 'The Invocation of God', p.81)
