“Clinging to something and holding on tightly—wholeheartedly adhering to the commands and rulings of religion, and keeping well away from what is forbidden and sinful.”¹⁾

“How do you disbelieve, seeing you are the ones to whom God’s Revelations are recited, and His Messenger is amidst you? Whoever holds fast to God, he has certainly been guided to a straight path.” (Al Imran, 3:101)

“The most advanced in knowledge and love of God and in piety flee from Attributes to the Divine Being or Essence, and from the Truth to the Truth Himself. They say: I take refuge in You from You, and are always in awe of God. All who flee seek shelter and protection. As the consciousness of fleeing is proportionate to the spiritual profundity of the one fleeing, the quality of the destination reached varies according to the degree of the seeker’s awareness.” ²⁾

“Those who would like to feel these limitless spiritual pleasures forever and ever always flee and emigrate from whatever displeasing to God to whatever pleasing to Him, from His prohibitions to His commands, and are fully determined to ask from Him whatever they will ask for and fully aware that whatever favor they receive is from Him. This is the truth of taking shelter.”³⁾
