Continuing the series of images from the Shaykh’s room. Here’s a few verses from the renowned sufi poet of the Punjab Hz Bulle Shah (ra).
The verses mean:
Repetition of the Alif* leads to freedom
From this Alif came the twos, threes and fours
then came the the hundreds thousands and millions
multipying then into the countless things
but the secret [...]

From the Master’s Room
Posted in Awliya, Islam, Khadim-e-Mohabbat, Sufism on May 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Insha’Allah I hope to put up some pics that graced the walls of Hz Khadim-e-Mohabbat (ra). He was very fond of pics of the awliya. To start off though here’s something that a dervish from Sindh who came to visit the shaykh presented to him. The words are in Sindhi and mean: “O Allah only [...]

-What is Sulook? To take out something from a body and enter something into it.

The Greatest Name

Even the Ism al-Azam (Greatest Name) as far as it is only a Name is not beneficial untill and unless its remembrance is in accordance with the courtesies and demands of the Remembered.

The temporality of all things in this world is in reality a sign of their departure towards their Beauteous Centre….and this is a reminder for us to make our departure towards our Centre even more swiftly. For the place where the heedless “set” is also the place of their “rising”. Samadiyah (from the Name as-Samad) [...]
Don’t plant anything but Love
Posted in Islam, Rumi, Sufism on October 11, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Here’s more vintage wine from the master.
When you plant a tree
every leaf that grows will tell you,
what you sow will bear fruit.

Water flows to those who want purity
wash you hands of all desires and
come to the table [...]

and never fail because we are
the friends of the [...]
