"There are those who feel peace in being in the midst of nature and it really calms us down, there are no aggressive or deafening noises, but relaxing sounds."

“Lure your soul to worship, and be lenient towards it, and do not force it. Accept its excuse and take advantage of its vitality, except what has been prescribed for you as an obligation; for they must be performed, and carried out at their right time.”
— Amirul Mo’minin Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (ع) Mizan al-Hikmah h. 4989 (via ahlulbayt-saviour)

“When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you. This misinformation will feel unfair, but stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth - just like you did.”

“If you want to strengthen your faith, you will need to soften inside. For your faith to be rock solid, your heart needs to be as soft as a feather. Through an illness, accident, loss, or fright, one way or another, we are all faced with incidents that teach us how to become less selfish and judgmental, and more compassionate and generous. Yet some of us learn the lesson and manage to become milder, while some others end up becoming up even harsher than before. The only way to get closer to Truth is to expand your heart so that it will encompass all humanity and still have room for more Love.”

This is a story of Layla and Harun-ar-Rashid, the famous emperor. Upon hearing that a poet named Qays had fallen hopelessly in love with Layla and lost his mind for her, and was therefore named Majnun- the madman- the emperor became very curious about the woman who had caused such misery. “This Layla must be very special creature. A woman far superior to all other women. Perhaps she is an enchantress unequaled in beauty and charm.” he thought. Excited, intrigued and curious, he played every trick in the book to find a way to see Layla with his own eyes. Finally, one day they brought Layla to the emperor’s palace. When she took off her veil, the emperor was disillusioned. Not that Layla was ugly, crippled or old. But she wasn’t extraordinarily attractive either. She was a human being with ordinary human needs and several defects, a simple woman, like countless others. The emperor did not hide his diaappointment. “Are You the one Majnun has been crazy about? Why, you look so ordinary. What is so special about you?” Layla broke into a smile. “Yes, I am Layla. But You are not Majnun,” she answered. “You have to see me with the eyes of Majnun. Otherwise you could never solve this mystery called love.” Is there a way to grasp what love means without becoming a lover first? Love cannot be explained. It can only be experienced. Love cannot be explained, yet it explains all. - Mevlana Jalal al-Din Rumi (Alayhi Rahma) Source: - The Forty Rules Of Love By Elif Shafak
