O lord ✨

If I worship you because of Fear of Hell, then burn me in Hell,

If I worship you because I desire paradise, than exclude me from paradise,

But if I worship you for yourself alone, then deny me not your Eternal Beauty

May Allah deprive you of all that which deprives you from Allah.

Seclusion is the souls ideal preparation for reaching Allah. It is the state of solitude that soul contemplates on the attributes of Allah.

Without You -my Life, my Love- I would never have wandered across these endless countries. You have poured out so much grace for me, Done me so many favors, given me so many gifts- I look everywhere for Your love- Then suddenly I am filled with it. – Rabia Al-Basri #rabiabasri #rumi #shams #dervish #sufi #whirlingdervish

“If we come to sleep We are His drowsy ones. And if we come to wake We are in His hands. If we come to weeping, We are His cloud full of raindrops. And if we come to laughing, We are His lightning in that moment. If we come to anger and battle, It is the reflection of His wrath. And if we come to peace and pardon, It is the reflection of His love. Who are we in this complicated world?”
-Rumi .

The Seeds That Keep Blooming

Sultan Bahauddin Walad told us one day: My father [Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi] said, “O Bahauddin, when the seed of my teaching has taken root in your heart, you will understand—reflect deeply on my teaching and really try to absorb it and if you do, felicity will be yours. Know that the body of the prophets, the saints, and their friends will never perish. A seed thrown into the earth may appear to die and disappear, however, at the end of a few days it comes to life and grows into a flourishing tree. In a similar way the body of the prophets and the saints will also come to life again.” He was absorbed in the mystery described in the Qur’an [51:21]: Have you not looked within? “There is nothing in the world that exists outside yourself; look into the depths of your being for that which you desire.” https://www.instagram.com/p/Btn1RwRnHgq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14psijsfb4ibg
