Obligation to Learn
The pursuit of knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim.”

“TRIPPING OVER JOY

What is the difference
Between your experience of Existence
And that of a saint?

The saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God

And that the Beloved
Has just made such a Fantastic Move

That the saint is now continually
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying, “I Surrender!”

Whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.”
― Hafez, I Heard God Laughing: Poems of Hope and Joy

“Saying of the Prophet
Truth
Speaking the truth to the unjust is the best of holy wars.”

“Saying of the Prophet
THE PEOPLE
It is the people who are God's family.
