How is it that you are not kept awake by the [fear of] Allah’s punishments that befall you by...
كَيْفَ لايُوقِظُكَ بَياتُ نِقَمِ اللّهِ وقَدْ تَوَرَّطْتَ بِمَعاصِيهِ مَدارِجَ سَطَواتِهِ؟!
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
How close is the punishment of Allah to the oppressors (or the unjust) and wrongdoers!
ما أقْرَبَ النَّقِمَةَ مِنْ أهْلِ البَغْيِ(الظُّلْمِ) والعُدْوانِ۔
