Rabia al-Adawiya more quotes e-card

Stay close by the door, if you desire all beauty And leave aside sleep, if you wish to arrive And make of the spirit your first place of account. To the beloved, whose lights shine as from gold All of them worship out of fear of the fire. And consider deliverance abundant good fortune - Or, so they may dwell in the gardens, and reach. To the meadows of paradise, and there drink from its rivers. Of gardens or fire I have no opinion. I seek no exchange for my dearest love.
