Some say, “We believe in God and the Last Day,” but they do not really believe—[thinking] they deceive God and the believers, they only deceive their own souls. Their hearts are diseased…
…Whoever follows the right way does so for his own soul, and whoever goes astray does so to his own detriment…
...God does not change the condition of a people until they change it within themselves...
And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo!—a guess can never take the place of the truth.
