From His Tongue — Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīqمِنْ كَلَامِهِ

Expect death always and live accordingly.

Abū Bakr as-Ṣiddīq رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ

Glory be to God who has not given to His creatures any way to attain knowledge of Him except by means of their helplessness and their hopelessness of ever reaching such attainment.

Abū Bakr as-Ṣiddīq رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ

الْعَجْزُ عَنْ دَرْكِ الْإِدْرَاكِ إِدْرَاكٌ

Abū Bakr as-Ṣiddīq رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ - Quoted from The Lights of Guidance by Mawlāna Shakykh Nāzim
