رُبَّمَا رُزِقَ الْكَرَامَهَ مَنْ لَمْ تَكْمُلْ لَهُ الِاسْتِقَامَةُ

Ibn ʿAbbād

الكرامة الحقيقية انما هى حصول الاستقامة والوصول الى كمالها ومرجعها الى أمرين صحة الايمان بالله عز وجل واتباع ما جاء به رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ظاهرا وباطنا

True charismatic grace consists only in attaining steadfast uprightness and reaching its perfection. It comes down to two things: soundness of faith (*īmān*) in God, Mighty and Majestic is He, and following what the Messenger of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) brought, outwardly and inwardly (*ẓāhiran wa-bāṭinan*).
