Salaam Dear Brothers and Sisters:

Thank you all for the kindness and love you shown this unworthy darvish. To do what love demands often means we go against our selfish interests, our laziness, and our unwillingness to open our hearts to others. Getting past these boundaries within ourselves is indeed what Rumi’s poem meant, and on the path of Love, they are veils to the Beloved. May Allah ever increase our love and wisdom, which are in reality the same thing. Ameen.

Ya Haqq!

Eid mubarak brother, Beautiful words!

“All of the Sufis have their slinks in beloved,
But Hafiz is disreputable among them!”

Ya Haqq!

Eid Mubarak dear Irving, brothers and sisters in faith! In reading this lovely writing, it reminded me of something I just happened to read yesterday in the book, Sharafuddin Maneri, The Hundred Letters. In letter #70, on page 289, last chapter, there is a part I would like to share with you (if you don’t mind dearest Irving), and it goes: “There is the story of a man who was making his way around the Kaaba and praying, ‘O God, make my brothers good!’ People said” ‘You have finally reached this holy place, why do you not pray for yourself? Why are all your prayers for your brothers?’ He replied: ‘I have several brothers to whom I shall be retuning. If I find them acting virtuously, then I too will become good on account of their virture, but if I find them steeped in wickedness, then I too will become perverted by their wickedness. Since my goodness will result from associating with good people, I therefore pray for my brothers, that I might achieve my aim through their help>”
