[3:101] How can you disbelieve while you have God's verses recited to you, and His Messenger is in your midst? Whoever holds fast to God, he is guided to a straight path.
The shade of disbelief should not fall over one in whose heart the suns of mystical knowledge (ʿirfān) have risen, for surely when day comes, night slips away.
Whoever holds fast to God: The one who holds fast to God has only found the holding fast from God. How could those who have not been guided by God hold fast to God? The guidance from Him in the beginning causes your holding fast in the end. Your holding fast does not cause the guidance. The true state of affairs of the holding fast is sincerity in taking refuge in Him, persevering in the flight to Him, and holding on to the act of appealing for His help. Whoever has the covering of separation (tafriqa) removed from his innermost self realizes that there is not an atom that belongs to anything other than God and from it a sīna. The people who hold fast to Him are those who are held fast by Him. The master of the first and the last (ṣ) said: I seek refuge in You from You.
Whoever holds fast in his soul without being effaced from his strength and power in his holding, polytheism (shirk) is his homeland but he does not notice.
