I am amazed at the one who loses hope while he has with him salvation in the form of repentance.
عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ يَقْنَطُ ومَعَهُ النَّجاةُ وهُوَ الاِسْتِغْفارُ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
Despair kills its owner.
قَتَلَ القُنُوطُ صاحِبَهُ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
Every despairing one has lost hope.
كُلُّ قانِط آئِسٌ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
