Sayings of Mustafa Mahmoud

You will not be religious except with knowledge...God is not worshiped with ignorance (The Qur’an: An Attempt at a Modern Understanding)
Whenever I catch one of my states and say, “This is me,” this state quickly slips through my fingers and is replaced by another state, which is me.. too.. (The Mystery of Death)
Hatred costs more than love... because it is an unnatural feeling... a reverse feeling, like the movement of objects against the Earth's gravity... it requires additional strength and consumes more fuel (in love and life)
If you asked about love, does it exist and how do we find it, you would say, yes, it exists, but it is rare, and it is the fruit of divine grace and not the fruit of personal diligence, and the condition for its occurrence is that the souls are originally good and beautiful, and psychological beauty and goodness are the niche from which this love emerges.
I want a moment of emotion... a moment of love... a moment of amazement... a moment of discovery... a moment of knowledge... I want a moment that makes my life meaningful... My life for the sake of making bread has no meaning because it is merely continuation (eating bread).
We should truly weep for our sins and not for any abandonment; Or any separation; or any disease; Or any death; This is the condition of those who esteem God as He deserves His esteem (The Age of Monkeys)
A life that ends with death, and there is no survival after it, is a life that is not worth living (coming out of the coffin)
Happiness in its only possible meaning is the state of reconciliation between the external and the internal, between man, himself, and others, and between man and God. His outer and inner self pour into each other as if they were one unit, and the individual among us becomes as if he were the whole... and as if all the birds were singing to him and speaking his language.
If you want to understand a person, look at his actions in a moment of free choice, and then you will be completely surprised. You may see a saint committing adultery, you may see a prostitute praying, you may see a doctor drinking poison, you may be surprised by your friend stabbing you and your enemy saving you. You may see the servant as a master in his actions, and the master is more despicable than the most despicable servant in his actions. You see kings taking bribes and vagabonds giving alms.
Be as you are..and you will guide yourself to the path (My Journey from Doubt to Faith)
You cannot surround a situation unless you step outside of it (a conversation with my atheist friend)
The tragedy of time is that there is no moment in it that is repeated twice. Rather, it is an ever-flowing river in which the water changes constantly and without stopping.
In God’s Constitution and Sunnah, freedom with pain is more honorable to man than slavery with happiness, and that is why he allowed us to make mistakes, suffer, and learn, and this is the wisdom in his allowing evil.
(A conversation with my atheist friend)
The occupation of the mind and the corruption of the faith is a prelude to the occupation of the land and the imposition of control. They are circles that take each other by the necks (political Islam and the coming battle)
The straw in the sea is moved by the current, the branch on the tree is moved by the wind, and man alone...is the one who is moved by the will.
Through the soul I control the body...and through the mind I control the soul...through insight I set the limits for the mind (my journey from doubt to faith)
Freedom is not created by a decree issued by Parliament, it is created within us... (Dreams)
The distances between the planets and stars have gotten closer and the distances between people on Earth have increased.
Here we are becoming more and more distant from each other every day, as if we were fragments scattered in space, and each one of us is unable to hear the other, communicate an opinion, give him an ear, or open his heart to him.
(the mystery of life)
God is the only one who is truly beloved, and we only love in others His manifestations and lights. The beauty of faces is from His light and the tenderness of hearts is from His tenderness. We do not possess anything of ourselves except to the extent that our Master and Lord bestows upon us His lights and names.
Happiness is not luck or fortune, but rather it is ability. The doors of happiness only open from within, from within yourself. Happiness comes to you from the way you look at the world, and from the way you follow your path.
Silence full of feeling has a stronger rule than the rule of words (soul and body)
Our souls are the first strongholds of the revolution.
God does not let us claim anything without testing us about it... by putting us in front of the dangers of the word and the dangers of consequence... so He demands from us the price of honesty if we are truthful... And God tests us in our outward and inward appearance, and He tests our essence, our hearts, and our actions (spirit and body).
The successful one is the one who shouts from his birth, “I came to the world to disagree with him,” and who does not stop raising his hand in the innocence of childhood to destroy with it all injustice and all falsehood (Dreams)
Whoever kills his brother does not hate his brother, but rather hates himself. The hand does not rise to kill unless the soul from within is squeezed by tension.
The murderer does not declare war on others unless the war has been declared within himself and its heat has intensified and its dust has spread, blinding the eyes and sight.
The criminal is always a human being bleeding from the inside. (Satan rules)
We must put a critical filter on our minds that filters, purifies, debates and discusses everything that is thrown at it (political circus games).
The life we live in our world is not the whole of life (My Journey from Doubt to Faith)
A good society is not a group of zeros, but rather a group of individuals... and a small amount of individuality is necessary for man to separate from the beast... and for society to separate from the herd (in love and life)
The first characteristic of the soul is its violation of laws, its elevation over them, its elevation above them, above logic...and above reason...and for this reason it is eternally renewed...its content cannot be predicted...
(dreams)
Every revolution destroyed the revolution that preceded it with continuous frequency throughout history, because every system failed to comprehend the power of the free, creative, and creative spirit.
(dreams)
All the secrets of our hearts and consciences cannot disappear.. All that matters is that they are obscured beneath the surface of awareness.. and accumulate in our subconscious mind to appear again in new forms... in a slip of the tongue, a fit of anger, or a strange dream one night (dreams).
Rather, worshiping God begins with knowing God and His highest position...and knowing God begins with knowing the self and its lowest position (My Journey from Doubt to Faith)
Did you know that when justice descends to the level of the criminal and adopts his methods, it degrades itself, loses its high meaning, and becomes a criminal (Man and the Shadow)
The most dangerous thing that threatens our freedom is not prison...but a gallows inside us called anxiety (dreams).
The greater the goals, the longer the road (Songs of Sin and Innocence)
