Welcome to those that come,
Farewell to those that leave...

"We are trying to be nothing. As long as we are something our ego is going to fool us"

-Sheykh Mevlana Nazim al-Hakkani

The people of God do not admire what they are doing, they act only out of the love of God.

-Shah Bahauddin Nakshibendi

The rivers of tears feed the ocean of love.

Fear not! For fears time has ended. This is the era of love!

Love being the wine, it matures with time. The greater the fermentation, the more intense the intoxication!

Even death is no excuse, in the court of love!

The source of belief, is love.
The source of proof, is doubt.
Oh Lord, let love be sufficient for me,
and
make me not of those who require proof.

Its only in darkness that we can appreciate light. Become nothing internally and you become everything externally. Darkness is the opportunity of light. Emptiness is the opportunity for fulfilment. The negative is the opportunity for the positive.

Joy is like pure clear water; wherever it flows, wondrous blossoms grow...Sorrow is like a black flood; wherever it flows it wilts the blossoms.

A good man complains of no one; he does not look to faults.
- shams tabrazi

"O my Rabb! Expand for me my breast and make my matters easy for me and loosen the knot from my tongue so they understand my speech."

Ay dil,
Ay dil,
dil e diwana,
bar e eshqatshodi afsaana....

How can someone who is unable to relieve his own need relieve someone else's?

- Shaykh Ibn 'Ata'llah q.s

Aye thay sabhi tarhaa ke jalway mere aage,
Meine magar ae deeda-e-heraan.. nahin dekha

" Religion is about being alone with The Alone "

The realization of 'La ilaha illa Allah' is one of the states of the heart that can be neither expressed by the tongue nor thought out by the mind.

- Ibn Ata'ala

Rumi...

I want a heart which is split,
chamber by chamber,
by the pain of separation from God,
so that I might explain my longings & desires to it.

Never do I argue with a man with a desire to hear him say what is wrong, or to expose him and win victory over him. Whenever I face an opponent in debate I silently pray - O Lord, help him so that truth may flow from his heart and on his tongue, and so that if truth is on my side, he may follow me; and if truth be on his side, I may follow him.

- Imam Ash-Shafi

"Praise Allah and send blessings on the Prophet (SAW) before and after du'a. Do you think Allah will accept the blessings before and after and deprive you of what you asked for in between?"
-

shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi,

Seek the truth; the truth shall set you free.

"You are something inseparable in the heart.My eyelids never closebut that You are between them and my eyes.Your love is part of me like the soul's internal speech.I cannot breathe except You are in my breathand I find You coursing through each of my senses."

-Abul-Hasan Simnan

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depths
until the hour of seperation''

*Kahlil Gibran*

" AS RAIN FALLS EQUALLY ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST,
DO NOT BURDEN YOUR HEART WITH JUDGEMENTS
BUT RAIN YOUR KINDNESS EQUALLY ON ALL"

* THE BUDDHA *

Make yourself free from self and one stroke! Like a sword be without trace of soft iron; Like a steel mirror, scour off all rust with contrition.

rumi...

Life/Soul is like a clear mirror; the body is dust on it. Beauty in us is not perceived, for we are under the dust.

rumi...

Be patient.Respond to every callthat excites your spirit.

All is contained in the divine breath, life the day in the morning dawn.

- Muhyi-din Ibn 'Arabi

My existence is from you and your appearance is through Me. Yet if I had not appeared, you would not have been.

- Muhiy-din Ibn 'Arabi

This is always how it is.when I finish a poem.A great silence overcomes me,and I wonder why I ever thoughtto use language.

Mevlana Rumi

rumi...

Of this there is no academic proof in the world; For it is hidden, and hidden, and hidden.

Don't try to keep me from asking!
Listen, when I'm this out of control!
But don't put anything breakable in my way!

-Mevlana Rumi

rumi..

My dear hart never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.

rumi..

Dance when you are broken open, Dance when you have torn the bandages off, Dance in the middle of the fighting, Dance in your blood, Dance when you are perfectly free.

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.

Simplicity provides a fine line between elegance and plainness.

Islam is easy. Just turn right, and go straight

Even if you feel
torn to pieces
sew yourself new clothes
your body and soul
will surely feel the joy
when you simply
go along

"To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour."

“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart"

-Kahlil Gibran

What is the end of love?
Love has no end.
Why?
Because the Beloved has no end

How shall my heart be unsealed unless it be broken.

Knowledge is life with wings.

Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.

You are blind and I am deaf and dumb, so let us touch hands and understand.

In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans.

In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.

Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.

Reality is Truth and Truth is Reality.God is Truth and God is Reality.

Death is the suspension of time, and time is born of our attachment to things that perish

He who loves Me, knows Me,and He who knows Me, finds Me.

Traditional sufi saying

“Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.” -

Rumi

Whatever exists in the entire universe, it is also in your own heart. You have to gain the ability to see it.

the job of one who is trying to love Allah is to bring you to the watering hole and then let you get back safely to your homes..
