Islam: Intimacy with Allah - Imam Ali (as)

The fruit of intimacy with Allah is keeping aloof from the people.

How can one become intimate with Allah when he has not separated himeself from the creation?

One who is intimate with Allah keeps aloof from the people.

One who keeps aloof from the people, becomes intimate with Allah, the Glorified.

The comfort of security is removed by the anxiety of lonliness and the apprehensionof fear disturbs the familiarity of society.

Intimacy is in three [people]: A compatible wife, a righteous child and an agreeable brother.

The most deserving of intimacy among the people is the close friend.
