and a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Kaa'ba,
and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Quran
.I follow the religion of Love:Â
whatever way Love's camels take,that is my religion and my faith.
Serta sebuah kutipan dari Futuhat Al-Makiyah untuk menjadi bahan perenungan:
"We empty our hearts of reflective thinking, and we sit together with God (al-Haqq) on the carpet of adab and spiritual attentiveness (murqaba) and presence and readiness to receive whatever comes to us from Him - so that it is God who takes care of teaching us by means of unveiling and spiritual realization. So when they have focused their hearts and their spiritual aspirations (himam) on God and have truly taken refuge with Him - giving up any reliance on the claims of reflection and investigation and intellectual results - then their hearts are purified and open. Once they have this inner receptivity, God manifests Himself to them, teaching them and informing them through the direct vision of the inner meanings of those (obscure scriptural) words and reports, in a single instant."
Mudah-mudahan dua kutipan singkat ini dapat menjadi bahan perenungan serta menginspirasi kita untuk terus mempelajari dan mendalami karya Ibn Arabi.
