Quotes About the Relationship of Humans With Allah

“There are people today who think that admitting God's absolute greatness decreases the value and importance of humans in the creation, as if God and mankind are rivals competing in greatness and power. Meanwhile I feel that whenever our perception of God's greatness increases, with it we become greater, because we are the creation of a great God.

Sayyid Qutb

“Truly between us and Allah there is a link that cannot be broken, and if we devote ourselves to honoring this link, all of our wishes and hopes will come true.

Muhammad al-Ghazali

“There is no relationship between God and anyone except through obedience to Him.

Umar ibn al-Khattab

“The words we use for the Creator are a reflection of ourselves. If we think of God in terms of fear and shame, it is because we are afraid, and have something to be ashamed of. If we see love, compassion and kindness, it is because we possess these qualities.

Shams Tabrizi

“[Regarding hardship and calamities] The lowest level of good manners toward God is for the human to accuse his own judgment regarding what is good for him instead of accusing God's decrees.

But true good manners is for one to not have any judgment of their own at all, for there to be only God's decrees, and to accept God's decrees with obedience and submission, in a state of contentment, trust, and tranquility.

Sayyid Qutb

“Our relationship with Allah is a love story.

Tariq Ramadan

“When you rectify your relationship with the Creator, He rectifies your relationship with all of the creation.

Yasmin Mogahed

“We try to use God like a 'genie in a bottle'. We make a wish and throw away the bottle when it doesn't come true.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Beware of viewing your relationship with God as a transactional one. Thinking He’s just repaying you for your works, creates a dangerous sense of entitlement when you see your works as good. But, the subtle danger lies in what happens when you see your works as bad. You lose all hope. God to you becomes like a drill sergeant (God forbid), ready to withhold and punish, instead of the One more merciful than a mother to her child, ready to forgive, forbear and give—although you have done nothing to deserve it and cannot repay it in any way.
