"O you who sold yourself for the sake of something that will cause you suffering and pain, and which will also lose its beauty, you sold the most precious item for the cheapest price, as if you neither knew the value of the goods nor the meanness of the price. Wait until you come on the Day of mutual loss and gain and you will discover the injustice of this contract." -Ibn al Qayyim al Jawziyyah

 The heart must be filled with glorification of someone; filling it with glorification of the nafs is arrogance; filling it with glorification of others is disbelief and slavery; and filling it with glorification of Allah is tawḥīd and freedom.
