Sadiq, my feeble attempts at calligraphy bear no comparison to Mustafa&#39;s masterly compositions. But I have produced some interpretations of sayings that have been &#39;lights&#39; for me, and I would be very happy to share them. If there were some way of raising money for a worthy cause, I should be very happy.

Dear James,<br />Saalams.<br /><br />Its wonderful to know that you learned arabic calligraphy from this master artist. It will be honor, if someday we could share some of your art work and if God so wills, we can do an online sale auction with your permission to raise some money fi&#39;sabilillah, for the cause of Allah with an intention to donate to poor / needy.<br /><br />Best wishes.

Vimesh, this has long been one of my favourite verses of Hallaj. Mustafa Ja&#39;far - who I took a couple of calligraphy courses with a few years back (and whose work I greatly admire) - has a lovely interpretation of it on his website http://www.arabigraphy.com/gallery/slide.html. You have to click through to get to it - but the other pieces are a treat, too! ;-)

Alhamdullilah<br /><br />James, sir i really liked the hadidth ...its 100% correct <br /><br />its like a step by step approach to merge in Allah(swt)&#39;s grace...<br /><br /><br />I am the One whom I love, and the One whom I love is myself.<br />We are two souls incarnated in one body;<br />if you see me, you see Him,<br />if you see Him, you see us.<br /><br />Al Hallaj

Those who want to reform the world must first reform themselves. If they want to lead others to a better world, they must purify their inner worlds of hatred, rancor, and jealousy, and adorn their outer worlds with virtue. The words of those who cannot control and disci-pline themselves, and who have not refined their feelings, may seem attractive and insightful at first. How-ever, even if they

&quot;Verily, Almighty God has a wine for His friends, such that when they drink of it, they become intoxicated, and once they are intoxicated they become merry, and once they are merry, they become purged, and once they are purged they become melted down, and once they are melted down, they become purified, and once they become purified they arrive, and once they arrive they become united with

&quot;Only believers who can sense all the beauty of the universe in a single flower and see rainstorms in a drop of water can know and understand its real countenance. Through the eye of the heart we have grasped the essential identity between the kernel of belief and the touba tree in Paradise. We have risen to make a journey extending far into the realms beyond being&quot; says Fethullah Gulen

Close the Language-Door<br />There is some kiss we want<br />with our whole lives,<br />the touch of Spirit on the body.<br /><br />Seawater begs the pearl<br />to break its shell.<br /><br />And the lily, how passionately<br />it needs some wild Darling!<br /><br />At night, I open the window<br />and ask the moon to come<br />and press its face against mine.<br />Breathe into me.<br /><br />
