“Know that God’s friends (awliya’), fear does not overwhelm them nor are they immersed in grief” (Qur’an, Surat Yunus 10:62) أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ Ala inna awliya Allah la khawfun ‘alayhim wa-la hum yahzanun. “¿No es cierto que los amigos de Allah no tendrán que temer ni se entristecerán?” (Spanish translation by Suleyman Ernesto Geddes )
