Book 23: The Book of Breaking the Two Desires
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din
  1. "An empty stomach is the obvious cause of this. Abu Suleiman Al-Darani said, "The sweetest state for worship is when my back is cleaving to my stomach. Al-Junaid observed that people place a barrier of food between themselves and their chest and wish to taste the sweetness of invocation."

Volume 1 — From Creation to Mūsā
Ibn Kathir · Al-Bidāya wal-Nihāya
  1. "it fresh meat and extract from it ornaments that you wear, and you see the ships cleaving through it, and that you may seek of His bounty, and perhaps you will be grateful. And He placed firm mountains in the earth, so it would not shake with you, and rivers"

  2. "He placed them throughout the earth, making them vicegerents therein, succeeding one another until the day of reckoning. He harnessed rivers from all lands, cleaving through regions to the towns, and made wells"

Volume Two
Ibn al-Qayyim · Madārij al-Sālikīn
  1. "concerning matters of the hereafter and its details, paradise and hell, and what precedes that: the path, the balance, the reckoning, and what precedes that: the splitting and cleaving of the sky, the scattering of the stars,"

The Disease and The Cure
Ibn al-Qayyim · Timeless Classics
  1. "generous Lord, from Surah Al-Infitar? Some claim it is his generosity that deceives. This is a grave misunderstanding. What deceives a person about their Lord is illusion, the devil, their own soul, ignorance,"
