To find a peace of mind in ‘Thikr Allah’… far better than Prozac

Achour

In man there exists love, pain, anxiety, and a yearning, so that even if he possessed a hundred thousand universes, he could not find peace and rest.

People practice all trades, all businesses, and undertake all kinds of studies: medicine, astronomy, etc., but they cannot find rest, because their goal is not achieved.

The Beloved is called “the rest of the soul”; and how could one find peace and repose anywhere but in Him?

All pleasures and all ends are like a ladder; each rung of the ladder is not a place of rest, but a passage.

Blessed is he who awakens early, so as to shorten the long journey, without wasting his life stumbling on the steps.
