O my Lord, if I worship Thee from fear of Hell, burn me in Hell, and if I worship Thee from hope of Paradise, exclude me thence, but if I worship Thee for Thine own sake then withhold not from me Thine Eternal Beauty

— Rābiʿa al-ʿAdawiyya, Rābiʿa the Mystic and her fellow-saints in Islam, by Margaret Smith
