About this site
Quotes is a small corner of Islamic Network dedicated to stating metaphysical truths — metaphysics here being defined in the traditional sense, as reasserted in the twentieth century in the writings of René Guénon, Frithjof Schuon ق, Martin Lings, Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani ق (as it was in classical texts from whence man was wise).
