Imam Ali (AS) said, Allah, Great is His Majesty, is not perceived by the eyes through the sense of sight, rather He is perceived by the hearts though the realities of faith.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لا تُدْرِكُ اللّهُ جلَّ جَلالُهُ العُيُونُ بِمُشاهَدَةِ الأعيانِ لكن تُدْرِكُهُ القُلُوبُ بِحَقائقِ الإيمانِ
