Answer: Bernard Law Montgomery.

 

I admit, I have never heard of him which is why I cheated by asking an old timer who's as you may have guessed a WW 2 Vet...

 

 

PS. Brother Xalane...Since I have cheated I don't deserve to be given the credit of answering your question, so I have decided to forfeit and pass the opportunity to ask a question...and if it's possible I would like you to take my place and ask another question again and if I don't know the answer don't worry I wont ask the answer my veteran neighbour again. You have my word.

Who said: What can my enemies possibly do to me? My paradise is in my heart; wherever I go it goes with me, inseparabble from me. For me, prison is a place of (religious) retreat; execution is my opportunity for martydom; and exile from my town is but a chance to travel.

[-Nomadique-]

^ Ibn Taymiyyah?

[xiinfaniin]

^^correct.

 

Did Google give you a hand though?

 

It's your turn per Cents instruction.

Lol, Actually im not very well read with these kind of quotes but this was one of very few I had come across. Im suprised i got the name correct actually.

 

 

Who said the following.

 

"He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere"

[Centurion]

'What can my enemies possibly do to me? My paradise is in my heart; wherever I go it goes with me, inseparabble from me. For me, prison is a place of (religious) retreat; execution is my opportunity for martydom; and exile from my town is but a chance to travel.'

 

What an excellent quote!

 

I havent had a chance to learn a lot about Ibn Taymiyyah, but i do know a considerable amount more about the Prophet (saw) and his Companions, and that Nom is a famous quote of Ali's.

 

Ps. next time emboldenyour quote, will you?

[-Nomadique-]

^Yes it was.

 

Over to you Cent.

I am not sure if you know, but Ibn Taymiyyah is supposed to be the father of Wahhabism.
