Abu Yazid Al-Bistami

We cannot circumscribe God, and when we try, everything becomes nothing, and nothing becomes everything. We can look to find God, but the answer is "leave the way and you have arrived at God." We can search and not find as God is already here with us. We do not need to look outside ourselves.

Thats right! Because according to Islam, everything is God. I liked the sayings in this passage, it was easy to read and understand.
