Al-Muhasibi
Freaking wow. This man had peace, love, and joy that was overflowing through him into his writing. His message is one of finding God through loving Him back. It is refreshing to read this because so much of the world (or maybe just the United States) focuses on the ritualistic and religious aspect of finding got which causes peoples thoughts and actions to be skewed from that which God intended. If we love Him and seek after Him we will find Him. We will do so in a way that brings us into His love, peace, and joy that only he can give. By focusing on the rules one will only be caused to stumble. But, focusing on a deeply loving and longing relationship with God will have their path directed because they are motivated by the most powerful action of life, Love.

Good insight here about how focusing on following rules only leads to breaking them or screwing up, but when you truly focus on God, there really isn't a need to follow written rules because your love and passion for your faith alone is enough to guide you down the right path in life.
