“My saintly wife, Maryam bint Muḥammad b. `Abdūn said, ‘I have seen in my sleep someone whom I have never seen in the flesh, but who appears to me in my moments of [spiritual] ecstasy. He asked me whether I was aspiring to the Way, to which I replied, I was, but that I did not know by what means to arrive at it. He then told me that I would come to it through five things, trust (tawakkul), certainty (yaqīn), patience (ṣabr), resolution and veracity.’ Thus she offered her vision to me (for my consideration) and I told her that that was indeed the method of the Folk (i.e. the Sufis).” – Ibn Arab ..read more

Khwāja Aḥmad Yesevī once advised: “If you wish to always find yourself in a state of paradise, be easy with everyone and never keep anger in your heart. If you wish to progress on this path, do not censure others. You must be a salve for a wound, not a barb that rips it open. If you wish no harm to come to you from others, do not speak cruelly, do not think badly of others, and do not engage in dishonesty. A true dervish does not despair when people hurt him. A true dervish does not retaliate, even when he has the right to do so.” – The Kitāb al-fawā’id Photo: Dervish Feriku, Albania, 1940s ..read more

“I counted my years and discovered that I have less time to live from here on out than what I have lived until now. I feel like that kid who won a pack of sweets: the first ones ate them with pleasure, but when he realized there were few left he began to taste them intensely. I no longer have time for endless meetings where statute, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be achieved. I no longer have time to support dumb people who, despite their chronic age, haven’t grown up. My time is too short: I want the essence, my soul is in a hurry. I don’t ..read more
