Shaykh Nur's meditation on al-Fatiha...
Jan. 5th, 2016 01:13 pmMay we live simply by the reliance on the power of the Holy Name of Allah. Who Is Complete Love, Overflowing with Compassion and Grace. May our spontaneous praise and gratitude be directed to Allah Alone, the Ultimate Source of the unfolding of all worlds, Allah Who Is Complete Love, Overflowing with Compassion and Grace and Who Is Master of the spiritual discipline of all beings, bringing them all to their time of Truth. Only to You, O Allah, do we offer the full commitment of our lives and from Your Infinite Power alone do we seek the strength that we need. Lead us not along the circuitous path of those who are wondering away from their Source, but lead us along the direct path of the Highest Illumination, the Path of Return traveled by those saints and sages who have been blessed by awakening fully into Your Holy Presence. Ya Allah. Ya Allah. Ya Allah.
What a Human Is, Now I Know

Dec. 17th, 2015 08:13 pm 124,000 Prophets and Prophetesses have brought the religion of union with the Divine to the tribes of Adam and Eve, peace be upon them both. We know the Names of a few, but the majority of them remain mysteries to us. Perhaps they speak to us in our dreams or when we walk alone in the forests or at the beach along the ocean. Perhaps the birds sing the revelations. Perhaps the sun witnessed the beautiful revelations of a woman on a mountaintop reciting a sacred Book or of a group of women who chanted the revelations in a time where the women were the leaders of the tribes. Perhaps these revelations will be discovered in a cave or in a pot or a woman will sing them as they have been passed on for thousands of years by the women in her village, silently, secretly....to hide them from the patriarchy that destroyed the altars of priestesses.

Hazrat Inayat Khan on harmony
Dec. 11th, 2015 05:52 pmthe harmony between body and soul,
and the harmony between individuals.
All the tragedy in the world,
in the individual and in the multitude,
, comes from lack of harmony.
And harmony is the best given by producing harmony in one's own life. ”
Being a Person of Paradise
Dec. 10th, 2015 02:34 pm
Shams Tabriz said: “Let me tell you about the qualities of the people of Paradise. Let me also tell you the sign of the people of Hell. Since the day God created this universe like an arrow shot from a bow, every day, every moment, He has been opening and closing doors. This takes place at such a limitless speed that one’s mind stops.
Such a person is a being of Paradise."
In My Soul
Dec. 9th, 2015 06:11 pmThe song's lyrics are based on a poem from Rabia al-Basri, a very famous centuries old Sufi poet.
In My Soul,
by Rabia al Basri
In
my soul
there is a temple, a shrine, a mosque, a church
where I kneel.
Prayer should bring us to an altar where no walls or names exist.
Is there not a region of love where the sovereignty is
illumined nothing,
where ecstasy gets poured into itself
and becomes
lost,
where the wing is fully alive
but has no mind or
body?
In
my soul
there is a temple, a shrine, a mosque,'
a church
that dissolve, that
dissolve in
God.
