All praise is due to God. Wishing thanks or appreciation for self is nothing but idolatry and often a most vicious form of idolatry. Sufis do not attack those who worship sticks and stones, but evil are they who, though they enter a thousand temples or churches, demand for themselves what belongs to Allah alone.
