According to Fakhr ad-Din ar-RazT, one of the great commentators upon the Quran: The worship of the eyes isweeping, the worship of the ears is listening, the worship of the tongue is praise, the worship of the hands is giving, the worship of the body is effort, the worship of the heart is fear and hope, and the worship of the spirit is surrender and satisfaction in Allah.","author":"Fakhr Al-Din Al-Razi","tags":["allah","fatalism","islam","quran","stoicism","worship"],"id":3048,"author_id":"Fakhr+Al-Din+Al-Razi"},{"text":"Without art, we should have no notion of the sacred; without science, we should always worship false gods.","author":"W.H.
