Little is known about the specific context in which she uttered these words, but it is believed to have been during a period of spiritual crisis or introspection. As a prominent figure in Islamic mysticism, Rabia's teachings often challenged conventional understandings of faith and the nature of God.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\n\nOn the surface, \"You know of the how, but I know of the how-less\" seems to be an expression of humility or submission to divine guidance. However, upon closer examination, it reveals a profound paradox: Rabia is suggesting that while others may understand the mechanics or procedures for spiritual growth (the \"how\"), she has transcended this understanding and operates on a plane where such considerations are irrelevant. This implies a state of being where the seeker has abandoned attachment to methods or techniques, allowing for a direct experience of the divine.\n\n**How to Use This**\n\nIn today's fast-paced, methodologically-driven world, this quote offers a counterintuitive strategy: abandon your attachment to \"the how\" and instead focus on cultivating an inner awareness that can navigate uncertainty. By embracing the unknown, you may discover a deeper sense of agency and purpose, untethered from the need for external guidance or authority.",{"id":55,"quote_text":56,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":57,"source":58,"quote_tag":59,"commentary":9},3356865,"May Allah steal from you All that steals you from Him.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":61,"quote_text":62,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":63,"source":64,"quote_tag":65,"commentary":9},3356859,"Great doubt will eventually lead to great awakening.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":67,"quote_text":68,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":69,"source":70,"quote_tag":71,"commentary":9},3356848,"O God! if I worship Thee in fear of Hell, burn me in Hell; and if I worship Thee in hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise; but if I worship Thee for Thine own sake, withhold not thine everlasting beauty.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":73,"quote_text":74,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":75,"source":76,"quote_tag":77,"commentary":9},3356840,"How many gifts and graces You have given me!
