H&Q-47

29. Allah is Al-Adl The Just
Behold, God enjoins justice, and the doing of good,
and generosity towards one’s fellow-men;
and He forbids all that is shameful
and all that runs counter to reason, as well as envy;
and He exhorts you repeatedly
so that you might bear all this in mind.
An-Nahl 16:90

18. But, what if every single stumble, every challenge, every experience in our life was only intended for one purpose: to bring us back to our origin?

Between us and where we began, and where we are desperately seeking to return?

What if everything was only about seeing Him?"

--Imam Ghazali
