    Zoulfa Katouh
    “I stare at him for a few more minutes, my heart expanding with love for him.

    He and I are owed a love story that doesn't end in tragedy.”

    Bulleh Shah
    “Not a believer in the mosque am I,
    Nor a disbeliever with his rites am I.
    I am not the pure amongst the impure,
    I am neither Moses nor Pharaoh.
    Bulleh, I know not who I am.

    Not in the holy books am I,
    Nor do I dwell in bhang or wine,
    Nor do I live in a drunken haze,
    Nor in sleep or waking known.
    Bulleh, I know not who I am.

    Not in happiness or in sorrow am I found.
    I am neither pure nor mired in filthy ground.
    Not of water nor of land,
    Nor am I in air or fire to be found.
    Bulleh, I know not who I am.

    Not an Arab nor Lahori,
    Not a Hindi or Nagouri,
    Nor a Muslim or Peshawari,
    Not a Buddhist or a Christian.
    Bulleh, I know not who I am.

    Secrets of religion have I not unravelled,
    I am not of Eve and Adam.
    Neither still nor moving on,
    I have not chosen my own name!
    Bulleh, I know not who I am.

    From first to last, I searched myself.
    None other did I succeed in knowing.
    Not some great thinker am I.
    Who is standing in my shoes, alone?

    Bulleh, I know not who I am.”
    Bulleh Shah

    “When the sun shall be folded up; and when the stars shall fall; and when the mountains shall be made to pass away; and when the camels ten months gone with young shall be neglected; and when the seas shall boil; and when the souls shall be joined again to their bodies; and when the girl who hath been buried alive shall be asked for what crime she was put to death; and when the books shall be laid open; and when the heavens shall be removed; and when hell shall burn fiercely; and when paradise shall be brought near: every soul shall know what it hath wrought.”
    Anonymous, القرآن الكريم

    محمد الغزالي
    “لا أدري لماذا لا يطير العباد إلى ربِّهم على أجنحةٍ من الشوق بدل أن يُساقوا إليه بسياط من الرهبة ؟! إنَّ الجهل بالله وبدينه هو عِلَّةُ هذا الشعور البارد ، أو هذا الشعور النافر - بالتعبير الصحيح - ؛ مع أنَّ البشر لن يجدوا أبرَّ بهم ولا أحنَى عليهم من الله عز وجل”

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “Knock, And He'll open the door
    Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
    Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
    Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.”
    Jalal Ad-Din Rumi

    “تبسمك في وجه أخيك صدقة، وأمرك بالمعروف صدقة ونهيك عن المنكر صدقة، وإرشادك الرجل في أرض الضلال لك صدقة، ونصرك الرجل الرديء البصر لك صدقة، وإماطتك الحجر والشوك العظم عن الطريق لك صدقة
    Smiling in your brother’s face is an act of charity.
    So is enjoining good and forbidding evil,
    giving directions to the lost traveller,
    aiding the blind and
    removing obstacles from the path.

    (Graded authentic by Ibn Hajar and al-Albani: Hidaayat-ur-Ruwaah, 2/293)”
