Ibn Taymiyyah (January 22, 1263 – 1328), was a Sunni Islamic scholar born in Harran, located in what is now Turkey said: “What can my enemies possibly do to me? My paradise is in my heart; wherever I go it goes with me, insepa­rable from me. For me, prison is a place of (religious) retreat; ex­ecution is my opportunity for martyrdom; and exile from my town is but a chance to travel.”
