Let every action be in harmony with your soul
and its soul-place, but don't parade
those doings down the street
on the end of a stick! Keep quiet and secret with soul-work.
Don't worry so much about your body.
God sewed that robe. Leave it as it is.
Be more deeply courageous.
Change your soul.
— Attar, Sufi poet (1146-1221)

An aquaintance mentioned wanting to read " Education and Learning in the Early Islamic World" by Claude Gilliot. But as always reading has a price - 85 £. And now our hero enters the stage. Archive.org. You can find the book there and even read it online, without downloading anything. The Internet archive is a great source for books, which are not the newest bestsellers.

@jenicewild good morning. Don't worry, no offence was taken. I remember listening to quite an interresting Podcast about Muslims in Europe and I think in ep 1 the topic of slaves and pow was mentioned. The Podcast is: matters of humanities: history of islam in Europe https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1922164.rss

"It is good practice to always identify the purpose of our goals rather than rushing to fulfil them so that we can reap the most benefit out of it."
Good reminder to take a step back and look at our intentions and ensure our hearts are in a ‘healthy’ state to avoid pursuing any actions or goals that may harm ourselves and others.
Knowledge is not just an ocean, it is many oceans, which one can not cross in a lifetime.
Seeking knowledge is not easy, as oceans are not easy to sail.
It takes certain prerequisites & skills to sail the oceans. Once you set out on ship to sail the oceans – i.e. to seek knowledge – then know that you will not reach land soon & that the journey will be full of challenges and hardships. If you are serious, you will keep sailing for the rest of your life.

As a #Muslim, I feel the same way.
Thank you, Qasim, for reminding people that of the nearly 2 billion members of the Muslim family, the murderous minority do not represent the moderate majority 🙏🏼✨

It’s a masterpiece of spiritual literature:

Don’t think I did all this to get famous.
I never cared for the good things of life.
I always ate sensibly. I knew hunger well,
and sorrow, and God.

#God does not change a people's lot unless they change what is in their hearts.

'Were the #sky and the #earth annihilated and [one #human] remained, they would find within themselves the image of the sky and the earth as though they were beholding them.'
*
For you can never apprehend anything save that which has reached you; and were it not that He has placed an image of the whole #world within your very being you would have no knowledge of that which is apart from yourself.’
—Al Ghazali, Muslim mystic
(1058 – 1111)

'The way is long only
because you delay to start on it;
one single step
would bring you to Him:
become a slave,
and you will become a king
✨
Whatever befalls you, misfortune or fortune,
is unalloyed blessing;
the attendant evil
a fleeing shadow.
✨
No more nonsense! Lose yourself,
and the hell of your heart becomes a heaven.
Lose yourself, and anything can be accomplished.
Your selfishness is an untrained colt
— Sanai

The Muslim world united in condemning #Sweden, because a few Islamophobes burnt the #Quran there, despite the condemnations of the Swedish government.
But in #China, it is the #government that is destroying mosques.
Why are Muslims silent on China?

"Inside the same pure love I now have drowned
As that which lovers of the past have found,
I don't explain it all, but summarize,
My tongue would burn up itself otherwise:
When I say 'lip', read: 'borders of the sea',
When I say 'none', read: 'but' the Deity!
Because of sweetness I look bitter now,
I've talked too much, now silence is my vow"

‘Do you want to know what has a higher degree than #prayer, fasting and #charity?
Repairing a #friendship.
A ruined friendship cuts away at everything else.’
