The Damascus Sermon

Time Does Not Run in a straight line so that its beginning and draw apart from one another; it moves in a circle like the motion of the globe of the earth. Sometimes it displays the seasons of storms and winter as declines. Just as every winter is followed by spring and every night by morning, mankind also shall have a morning and a spring, God willing. You may expect from divine mercy to see true civilizations within universal peace brought about through the sun of the truth of Islam.
