Muslims do not see God as their father … Men are servants of a just master; they cannot, in orthodox Islam, typically attain any greater degree of intimacy with their creator.-Shabbir Akhtar, A Faith for All Seasons(Chicago: Ivan R. Dee, 1990) p180.
Allah does not reveal Himself to anyone in any way. Allah reveals only his will … Allah does not reveal himself to anyone … that is the great difference between Christianity and Islam.- Isma’il al Furuqi, Christian Mission and Islamic Da’wah: Proceedings of the Chambésy Dialogue Consultation (Leicester: The Islamic Foundation, 1982) p47-48.
In vain were the habits of grace planted, if the fruits of holiness and mortification be not produced; yea, mortification is not only the design and aim, but it is a special part, even the one half of our sanctification.- John Flavel@FlavelJohn
To persevere in our faith, let us seek God's power to help us. A child is safe when held in his mother's arms; so are we, when we are held in the arms of free grace. It is not our holding God, but his holding us which enables our perseverance. -Thomas Watson
