   Know, O arrogant one, happiness in this world is in abandoning it. To know Allah is enough. Abandon the world; all things will be for you. To be arrogant is total loss; whatever you do, all things will be against you. So both states demand abandoning the world here. Abandoning the world is to regard it as Allah’s property, with His permission, in His Name... If you want to do trade, it is in making this fleeting life eternal. If you seek yourself, it is both rotten and without foundation. If you seek the world outside, the stamp of ephemerality is upon it. That means there is no value in taking it; the goods in this market are all rotten. So pass on... the sound goods are all lined up beyond it.... Double click for meaning of the world. | |||
