IBN GABIROL Kings may be judges of the earth, but wise men are the judges of kings. IBN GABIROL My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private. IBN GABIROL إذا ما التقَينا للوَداعِ حسِبتَنا لدَى الضّمّ والتعني... IBN ARABI إذا طالبك أحد بالدليل والبرهان على علوم الأسرار الإلهي... IBN ARABI يا من يراني ولا أراه . . كم ذا أراه ولا يراني IBN ARABI My night has become a sunny dawn because of you IBN ABBAD
