He Who has created seven heavens in full harmony with one another: no incongruity will you see in the creation of the Most Gracious. And turn your vision (upon it) once more: can you see any flaw? Yes, turn your vision (upon it) again and yet again: (and every time) your vision will fall back upon you, dazzled and truly defeated.
Al-Quran 67:3-4


The words of wisdom a lost objects of faithful, he must claim them wherever he finds them.

(Hadith of the Prophet of Islam)


The truth of religion is found in the way it answers the deepest needs of a person’s

 spirit. To put it in light-hearted way, some say that when we “get religion,” even our dog or cat can see a change in us
 (Samuel Taylor Coleridge- Possibilities, p. 138)


The 1% of income spent will never go unnoticed by God but He will return that fully as the Holy Quran said, “Who is he that will lend unto Allah (God of All) a goodly loan, so that He will multiply it unto him manifold.” (and will reward it amply and most liberally) (2:245) and in the words of Bible, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasure in heavens, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.  (Mt. 6: 19-20)

We remind the words of the person who devoted all his wealth for supplementing the ancient scriptures and really did sacrifice for such a noble cause.

It is not sufficient any longer to listen at the end of a wire to the rustlings of galaxies; it is not enough even to examine the great coil of DNA in which coded the very alphabet of life. These are our extended perceptions. But beyond lies the great darkness of the ultimate Dreamer, who dreamed the light and the galaxies. Before act was, or substance existed, imagination grew in the dark.

(Loren Eiseley)


This is the blossoming time in human creation.

Evolution is accelerating. Progress is accelerating. One of God’s great blessings to human beings is change, and the present acceleration of change in the world is an overflowing of this blessing. Should those who love God devote over 1% of income to research for new additional Spiritual information to supplement the wonderful ancient scriptures? (Sir John Templeton)


Tumult and Peace, the darkness and the light were all alike workings of one mind, the features of the same face, blossom upon one tree, Characters of the great Apocalypse, The types and symbols of Eternity, of first, and last, and midst, and without End.

(William Wordsworth, The Simplon Pass)


That which is lacking in the present world is a profound knowledge of the nature of things

(Frithjof Shuon)


All sacred things must have their place.
 (Aborigine saying)


When will the time come when I shall see Him without intermission and place my crowned head at His feet? When will the time come when my tears of ecstasy shall flow on seeing the wonderful Lord? When will the time come when my mind gazing at His moon-like face will be melt into Him?

(Kulasekhara Alvar quoted in Forgotten Truth)


In Truth I say to you that within this fathom-high body… lies the world and the rising of the world and the Ceasing of the world.

A great man of Science ………knows everything about everything, except why a hen’s egg don’t turn into crocodile, and two or three other things.

(Charles Kingsley, The Water Babies)


Look within yourself a moment and ask who art thou? From where does thou come, from which place, what art thou?

(Rumi)


I meditated upon religions, making great effort to understand them, And I came to realize that they art a unique Principle with numerous ramification.

(Hallaj)


Remembering is far those who has forgotten. (Plotinus)

The one who is with Allah, he has a lot of work, one who is not with Allah, he has no work, and he has worked with his house.

(Bawa Mohayuddin, Philadelphia)


And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(Gospel of John)


Knowledge of the sacred leads to freedom and deliverance from all bondage and limitation because the sacred is none other than the limitless infinite and the Eternal.

(Syed Hussain Nasr, Knowledge and the Sacred, p.309)


Everything exists in the unseen before it is manifested or realized in the seen, and in this sense it is true that the unseen things are the real, while the things that are seen are the unreal, the unseen things are cause; the seen things are the effect. The unseen things are the eternal and the seen things are the changing, the transient.

 (Ralph Waldo Trine quoted in Possibilities by Sir John Templeton)


If one man conquer in the battle a thousand times a thousand men and another conquer himself, he is the greatest of conquerors. One’s own self conquered is better that all other people conquered, not even a God could change into defeat the victory of a man who vanquished himself.

 (Buddha – The Dhammapada Scriptures quoted in Possibilities by Sir John Templeton)


When we consider what religion is for (humanity) and what science is, it is no exaggeration to say that the future course of history depends upon the decision of this generation as to the relations between them.

(A.N. Whitehead, Science and the Modern World, p.162)


Sufism teaches how to purify one’s self, improve one’s morals and build up one’s inner and outer life in order to attain perpetual bliss. Its subject matter is the purification of the soul and its end or aim is the attainment of eternal felicity and blessedness.

Humanity needs three things today – a Spiritual interpretation of universe, spiritual emancipation of the individual, and basic principles of a universal import directing the evolution of human society on a spiritual basis.

(Dr. Muhammad Iqbal–Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam)


Despite the choices still possible and the options still available, despite the paths still open to be taken, despite the warmings of Prophets and sentries, despite the outcries of the poets and the weak, this blindness is now leading men to will….. their own destruction.

(Jacques Ellul – Betrayal of the West, p.195)


We should pray for those who irritate us. Our mind is very much like a garden, fertile with good soil, water, sunlight, and drainage. We as the gardeners of our minds, can cultivate whatever thoughts we choose; we must nourish good thoughts, weed out the bad ones, and ensure that evil thinking does not overshadow and blackout the radiance of the god. By years of careful thought control, your mind can become a garden of indescribable beauty “As a man thinketh so is he”.

(Prophet Jesus)


If God created the earth as a school for souls, then most of us are very lazy pupils. Most of us fail the test. Life on earth is brief. We are in this school only a few years. Why should we waste even one day? Each night when we lie down to sleep can we say we have learned to love God more or helped our neighbour to love God more?

(Sir John Templeton: The Humble Approach, p.96)


“There is more wisdom in the construction and working of the body and mind of a Scientist than he can ever think of. There is more wisdom in the making of an ant than what all the libraries of the world can tell.”

(Nietzsche)
