About the Mantiq al-Tayr |
"And silently their shining Lord replies:
'I am a mirror set before your eyes,
And all who come before my splendor see
Themselves, their own unique reality ...
... The Simurgh, Truth's last flawless jewel, the light
In which you will be lost to mortal sight,
Dispersed to nothingness until once more
You find in Me the selves you were before.'"

Death-bed repentance |
A true believer said: 'There is a crowd Who when they come to die will cry aloud And turn to God. But they are fools; they should Have spent their lives in seeking what is good. When leaves are falling it's too late to sow; Repentance on a death-bed is too slow -- The time to turn aside has flown; be sure Whoever waits till then will die impure'."
