Quran Quote by Jalaluddin Rumi
““Janganlah hanya faham erti kata-kata yang tertulis dalam Al-Quran kerna dibawah yang tertulis terdapat erti yang tersembunyi di bawah erti lapis kedua ada lagi erti baru, yang menyilaukan fikiran dan pandangan Erti keempat, kecuali Nabi, tak ada yang pernah memahami kebesaran Tuhan, yang tiada tanding dalam Keghaiban hitunglah erti tersembunyi itu sampai tujuh kisah bermakna yang mengagumkan dari langit Wahai kawan, janganlah memandang jilid Al-Quran. Bagi setan, manusia hanyalah sepotong daging. Bagaikan manusialah Al-Quran itu, Bentuk lahir diluar dengan ruh diam-diam didalamnya.””
