A pious man relates that in one of my journeys I once saw a young Bedouin girl.
Where do you stay? I enquired
The jungle, she replied.
Do you not feel lonely? I asked curiously.
She answered, Oh Shaykh, one who befriends Allah and keeps His company can never be lonely.
I asked, Where do you eat?
She replied, Allah knows best from where He provides for His creation. He gives it to those who believe in Him.
Then she went on to say, The hearts that are alive with the recognition of Allahs oneness and have relented to His love, their food is the love of Allah and His Company.
