Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
O Thou who art above all imaginations, conjectures, opinions and ideas, above anything people have said or we have heard or read. The assembly is finished and life has reached its term, and we have, as at first, remained powerless in describing Thee.
From the Gulistan (Rose Garden) of Shaykh Muslih-uddin Sa’di Shirazi
Alhamdulillah! All praise is Thine alone, ineffable, indescribable, beyond thought and form, without direction or place or time. Thy attributes are manifest in Thy signs, on the horizons and in ourselves. In remembrance of Thee is our joy, gratitude toward Thee our daily bread, loving Thee our only purpose.
Ya Haqq!

“nothing, nothing, nothing….and at the top of the mountain, still nothing”
How true! How humbling!
