Be and it is... *heart melt*

I went to that beloved, with my cheeks stained in tears of blood.

 

Signs of insanity were visible in my eyes and face. 

I had broken my chains and gone outside, 

Dragging with my feet the chains of 'BE, and it is!'

- Maulana Shaykh Jalalhudin Rumi (#1229)

my God, how amazing. subhaAllah. 

My favourite excerpt from Dalail el Khayrat

Dalail il khayrat is a compilation of praises upon the messenger Muhammad peace be upon him... This is my favourite excerpt:

The messenger of Allah peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said: 

There is not one slave that sends praises on me except that it exits from his lips hurriedly 

so that no place is left from the shores, or the oceans or the east or the west 

except that that praise goes past it and says

 "I am the salawaat of so and so son of so and so, he praised Muhammed the chosen one, best of all of Allah's creation"

 thereafter no thing remains unless it praises that person .

And created forth from that single praise is a bird which has 70,000 wings 

and on each wing 70,000 feathers 

and on each feather 70,000 faces,

 and on each face 70,000 lips 

and from each lip 70,000 tongues

 that praise Allah Most-High with 70,000 languages 

and Allah has recorded for him 

the reward of all those praises.

Allahuma sally 'ala sayyidina Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wasahbihi wasalim

~A thousand replies~

All night, a man called “Allah”
Until his lips 
cracked and bled.
The devil then said, “Hey! Mr Gullible!
How come you've been calling out all night
And never once heard Allah say, 
“Here, I am”?
You call out so earnestly and, in reply, what?
I’ll tell you what. Nothing!” 
The man suddenly felt empty and abandoned.
Depressed, he threw himself on the ground
And fell into a deep sleep.
In a dream, he met Abraham, who asked,
“Why are you regretting praising Allah?”

The man said, “ I called and called
But Allah never replied, “Here I am.”
Abraham explained, “Allah has said,
“Your calling my name is My reply.
Your longing for Me is My message to you.
All your attempts to reach Me
Are in reality My attempts to reach you.
Your fear and love are a noose to catch Me.
In the silence surrounding every call of “Allah”
Waits a thousand replies of “Here I am.”

~ Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi
