Sermon (45): On the Greatness and Majesty of Allah
All praise is for that Allah from whose mercy there is no despair, and from whose blessings no one's garment is empty. No one is disappointed with His forgiveness, no one can be ashamed of His worship, His mercies do not break, and the flow of His blessings never stops. The world is a house for which destruction is a decreed matter, and its inhabitants must leave it in any case. This world is sweet and fresh. It advances quickly toward its lover and settles in the seeing heart. Take the best provision you can have, and prepare to depart from the world with it. Do not desire more than your need in this world, and do not wish for more than what can sustain life.
