"If people worship God out of desire, that is the worship of merchants. If people worship God out of fear, that is the worship of slaves. If people worship God out of gratitude, that is the worship of the free. Imam Ali AS

“(The light is lit) in houses of worship which God has allowed to be raised, and His name remembered in them. His praises are sung there morning and evening.” Holy Qur'an 24:36

“This body and mind will attain peace, if at all times you have the habit of giving thanks.” Kalam e Moula Murtaza Ali 

"O Lord! From the dawn of time, I have implored you, remembering you with every breath I take. You alone dwell in every part of me! All my sins will also be removed through your name." Moti Venti. Pt 35 by Pir Hasan Kabirdin AS

"Those who have had the good fortune to know and feel this worldly, human love should respond to it only with gratitude and regard it as a blessing and as, in its own way, a source of pride...

... But as the joys of human love surpass all that riches and power may bring a man, so does that greater spiritual love and enlightenment, the fruit of that sublime experience of the direct vision of reality which is God's gift and grace, surpass all that the finest, truest human love can offer.

For that gift we must ever pray." Imam Sultan Mohammad Shah - the religion of my ancestors)
