عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْكِتَابِ وَالسُّنَّةِ وَأَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ.

الدُّعَاءُ هُوَ مَخُّ الْعِبَادَةِ، فَإِذَا صَفَا الْقَلْبُ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ وَالْغِلِّ فَازَ بِالْإِجَابَةِ.

مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ أَعْدَائِي بِي؟ جَنَّتِي فِي صَدْرِي، دُخُولِي عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْفٌ، وَإِخْرَاجِي مِنْهُ هِجْرَةٌ، وَقَتْلِي شَهَادَةٌ.

What can my enemies do to me? My Paradise is in my heart; my imprisonment is a retreat (khalwah); my being killed is martyrdom; and my being driven from my land is a migration (hijrah).
