Shaykh Al-Arabi Darqawi said,
“If you want to treat your enemy with what is duly deserving for him,
preoccupy yourself with the love of the beloved,
for if you preoccupy yourself with hate and enmity
then the enemy gets from you what he wanted
and you have the lost opportunity
to love the beloved.”
From his Epistles.
