“The spiritual path wrecks the body and afterwards restores it to health.
It destroys the house to unearth the treasure,
and with that treasure builds it better than before.”
Rumi
Holy land
Muawiya was a ruler whose capital was Damascus.
He said: “Indeed our land is a holy land !”
To which Saasaa Bin Souhan replied:
“For sure, a land is not made holy or unholy by anything.
Good deeds maketh holy!”
Me, unjust and ignorant
After a stressful time this year and just today, I realised how unfair and ignorant, deep down, I am.
May Allah forgive the Me in me.
“Indeed, we offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and they declined to bear it and feared it; but man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant.” Quran 33:72
I am so grateful to Allah that I am not a ruler or a man of power.
