Love, hate, make enemies and friends, according to what pleases Allah, for you do not acquire Allah’s wilaya except through that. And no man will taste the sweetness of faith, no matter how much he prays or fasts, until he is like that. Today, people’s friendships are about the affairs of this world, and that will count for nothing on the Day of Judgment. - Ibn Abbas (r.a.)

You must dare to disassociate yourself from those who would delay your journey… Leave, depart, if not physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly, undramatically, and venture toward trueness at last.—Vernon Howard
