Allah'ın Hakkını Gözetmek: Vefa, Edep ve Mürüvvet

He said: "The intellect has an indication, wisdom has a sign, and knowledge has a testimony. The purity of worship is not attained except through the purity of four types of knowledge: knowledge of God Almighty, knowledge of the self, knowledge of death, and knowledge of what comes after death, of the promise of God and His threat. Whoever knows God Almighty stands by His right; whoever knows the self prepares to oppose and struggle against it; whoever knows death prepares for its arrival; and whoever witnesses the threat of God Almighty refrains from His prohibitions and commits to His commands." Observing the right of God Almighty is of three kinds: fidelity, propriety, and chivalry. Fidelity is the heart's solitude in His oneness, steadfastness in witnessing His unity through the light of His pre-eternity, and living with Him. Propriety is the guarding of secrets from fleeting thoughts, the preservation of one's times, and severing oneself from envy and hostilities. Chivalry is steadfastness in remembrance through speech and action, guarding the tongue, guarding one's gaze, and guarding one's food and clothing. This is attained through propriety, for the root of all good in this world and the hereafter is propriety, and in God is the success.
