Sweetness of life
“The sweetness of life is in the company of the Fuqara,
They are the sultans, the masters and the princes !”
Sidi Abu Madyan [Born ~509Hijra / 1126 CE and died ~594Hijra / 1198 CE]
Describe ‘her’
“They say describe ‘her’ to us,
For you have expertise in ‘her’ description.
Indeed, I have knowledge of ‘her descriptions’!
It’s purity with no water,
It’s softness with no air,
It’s light with no fire,
It’s a soul with no body.”
Ibn Al-Faridh [Born 576 Hijra / 1181 CE – Died 632 Hijra / 1235 CE]
