The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) had said: "The most perfect of believers in faith is the most considerate of them to others. And the best of you all is the most considerate of you to his wife" (Tirmidhi [103], 3.20: 1196. S). Few could keep pace with Sheikh 'Adel in chivalrous treatment of his wife. Wherever he traveled, he seldom returned without a special gift he had bought her. He was in love with her, and she bore him eight sons and three daughters. He shared his spiritual life with her and spoke to her about ultimate Realities, which Sheikh al-Kurdi had given him permission to teach to her. All this was in marked contrast to the attitude of many brothers in Jordan, who delegated the tariqa to the men, and the home and family to the women.

'My love is incumbent for those who love each other for My sake, those who sit together for My sake, those who visit each other for My sake, and those who spend on each other for my sake'" (al-Muwatta' [69], 2.953-954: s).

-Quoted in Sea Without Shore, pg. 26.

our global economic and political life in rational ways to prevent ecological disaster cannot happen until there is a fundamental change in the way that we in the West, and particularly in the United States, organize our own societies and control our multinational corporations. And that won't happen until we have a powerful spiritual movement that can speak to the hunger for meaning and purpose and win people over to a progressive spiritual perspective.

-Rabbi Michael Lerner, The Left Hand of God, pg. 363

-Rabbi Michael Lerner, The Left Hand of God,

"we deal with diplomatically. It wants whatever it wants, with or
without the Sacred Law: it doesn't care. So we give it what it wants
within the bounds of the Sacred Law, and exact from it what we want:
that it serves us, that it rises at night to pray, that it fulfill our
duties. This is our diplomacy with the ego."

-Sheikh 'Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghouri as quoted in Sea Without Shore: A
Manual of the Sufi Path by Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller, pg. 17.

that can be achieved in the churches, synagogues, mosques, and ashrams
of a Religious Right cannot offset the massive spiritually and
psychologically destructive impact of the daily grind of life in a
competitive market society, with it's ethos of materialism and
selfishness."

-Rabbi Michael Lerner, pg. 359
