Quotes by Rumi are aplenty, here are some beautiful ones by other spiritual people in the spirit of Ramazan
While we all relish Rumi’s quotes, let’s take a little breather from his overused and recycled quotes to enlighten us on this Ramazan. Ibn Qayyim is a lesser-known poet whose words emanate divinity. Known as Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyya, the theologian was a man of many hats. Born January 28, 1292 AD, Ibn Qayyim belonged to the Hanbali school and was one of the pioneers of Sunni jurisprudence. His words exuded a spiritual awakening and his penned words have been pillars of strength for many people seeking a little redemption.
Here are 13 of his most profound quotes to get you more ready this Ramazan:
On what fear really is.
On the importance of women.
On controlling your tongue.
On false desires.
On worldly desires never being enough.
On the importance of always being able to feel.
On spending time with the less fortunate.
On committing sins.
On always believing in something greater than yourself.
On keeping your heart pure.
On always saying a little prayer.
On the delicacy of the heart.
On how well we hide our sins.
Motivation can come in shapes, forms, and means and these quotes are just a way to help those of you who get inspired by the written word, get into the spirit of Ramazan. Certainly, not everyone may feel these but as someone famously said, words are powerful so these quotes are just a little contribution to spread that power of the written word.
