Quote Ibn 'Arabi: Penyucian Batin

 "Now spiritual purification (tahârat al-bâtin) - which is (purification of) the heart is through liberating ourselves (from all attachments other than God), in order to seek (His) friendship. And there is no (true) friendship and closeness with God except through freeing yourself from the creatures, insofar as you used to consider them (only) in light of their relation to yourself (to your ego or nafs) and not through God (and the realization of His aims in their regard)."
"Penyucian batin - yaitu (penyucian) hati, adalah dengan cara membebaskan jiwa kita (dari semua keterikatan/ketertarikan kepada selain Allah), dalam rangka mencari pertemanan-Nya. Dan tiada pertemanan (sejati) dan kedekatan dengan Allah kecuali dengan membebaskan dirimu dari makhluk, sedalam kau menganggap mereka (hanya) dalam hubungannya terhadap dirimu (ego atau nafsumu) dan tidak mengantarkanmu kepada Allah (dan kesadaran tentang maksud Allah dalam keberadaan mereka)."
