Whirl in Ecstasy

BismillahirRahmanirRahim


I have lost my sense in my world of lovers...

In my hallucination I saw my Beloved flower garden, in my vertigo, in my dizziness, in my drunken haze, whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel.

BismillahirRahmanirRahim

BismillahirRahmanirRahim


Assalamu Alaikum wr wb,



Just finished a painting saying: BismillahirRahmaniRahim :)























BismillahirRahmanirRahim.
Without "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim" no action is good; and Shaytan is attempting to interfere 70 times in its recitation to spoil it. To forget "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim" means to forget Allah, and without Allah there is no foundation and no support for anything. "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim" has been granted to the Prophet's Ummah of the Last Days, and it is the biggest mercy. When Allah created the Tablet and the Pen and ordered the Pen to write "Bismillah irRahman ir-Rahim" it needed 700 years for this magnificient writing. Who can say "Bismillah irRahman irRahim" with ta'zim with magnification of Allah's Glory gets the reward of 700 years. Write "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim" everywhere - on your house, over the door, as people go in under the Bismala; in the car - write it and don't be afraid, for with "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim" nothing bad can happen. They are asking you to have strong faith.

Love

BismillahirRahmanirRahim

Assalamu Alaikum :)


Someone asked "What is Love?". God answered: "You will know when you lose yourself in Me."

Eyes wide open




BismillahirRahmanirRahim


Eyes wide open

Eyes wide open
I gaze with love at the beauty of your creations.

I've searched years trying to find you,
but O how foolish i was, as you were with me all along.

Eyes wide open
My heart whirls with passion
Intoxicated by your fragrance, I follow your scent drunken with love.

You teach me to love through your tranquility and beauty,
capturing my soul and releasing my inner being.

You have shown me the path to riteousness
and awakened me from within.

Eyes wide open
I can finally see..this great beauty existing inside of me.

Contemplation in the Garden


BismillahirRahmanirRahim
Look! Look how beautiful the birds sing as they do dhikr for the Almighty.
With love in their hearts, and beauty in their soul, they wish only to please You.
O how I dream to be that bird,
Soaring across your oceans, glorifying every piece of your love built creation.
Ya Wadud, Ya Allah. Ya Wadud.
By Munise

Green Dervish

BismillahirRahmaniRahim

Assalamu Alaikum,

I painted an old dervish picture last year and just fixed it up as a gift to a friend...


As waves upon my head the circling curl,
So in the sacred dance weave ye and whirl.
Dance then, O heart, a whirling circle be.
Burn in this flame - is not the candle He?
Jalaluddin Rumi.
