The moon came to me last night
With a sweet question.
She said,
"The sun has been my faithful lover
For millions of years.
Whenever I offer my body to him
Brilliant light pours from his heart.
Thousands then notice my happiness
And delight in pointing
Toward my beauty.
Hafiz,
Is it true that our destiny
Is to turn into Light
Itself?"
And I replied,
Dear moon,
Now that your love is maturing,
We need to sit together
Close like this more often
So I might instruct you
How to become
Who you
Are!
~ Hafiz, Daniel James Ladinsky ~
al-Mu'min is the Name of The Sole Faithful Lover; repeat and plant the Name in your heart to flower ecstatic faith.
Know that we are believer only because it was Allah who believed in us first, because Allah entrusted the Divine Trust in the pre-eternity out of the Divine Attribute Al-Mu'min - the Faithful Beloved, the Source of Faith, Trust and Tranquility. Allah says, "O My Servant, I want (irada) and you want - and nothing will happen except what I want."
Indeed all success comes from the Divine.
