Sufi Poem
October 26th, 2004Behold the words of the Qur’an:
"We are closer to you than you are yourself."
Comprehend your relationship with God!
He is closer to us than our own selves.
Yet through ignorance we search for Him
Wandering from door to door.
-Sufi poem

Salaam Brothers and Sisters:
bless you in this life and the next.
Please take a moment to look at the website for the recently released book Master of the Jinn: A Sufi Novel, a mystical adventure tale and eloquent portrayal of the Sufi path of Love. You can read an excerpt and reader’s comments.
May Allah
Ya Haqq,

Salaam Friends: Here is a poem you might enjoy
Hear, O darvish, the song of Love
the unending tale of the heart.
God whispers “Be!” and infinity
takes eternal flight.
Love commands the darkness to depart,
and the world to arise in light.
Mountains, seas and stars bear witness,
The east wind cries out on the wing.
La Illaha illa Allah

O Sufi, the universe sings.

wasalam Mahdia,
It’s not actually my poem - but I have to confess I am not sure whose it is.
Given that most Sufi poems are probably well past copyright restriction, I’d say you might be safe to use it.
Salaam Mahdia and Maryam:
I am the author of Master of the Jinn, and the author of the Sufi poem, which is excerpted from the book. Please feel free to turn the poem into a song. It would be a blessing. There is one other poem in the book you might like also. If you contact me at Irvingk57@aol.com, I will send it to you.
Ya Haqq,
Irving
Please read this book by a grand scholar: [edit]
And audio on the realities and deviance of sufism!
[edit]
There are way too many Wahhabi-Salafi sites spreading cultic views as it is, they’re not getting free promos at Dervish, that’s for sure.
Try here instead.
[edit: see previous comment]
Selamu Alejk,
i would like to know how to become a dervish. i my country (bosnia) there are a lot but i live in holland. im a sunni since birth an will stay so but what does being a dervish precisely mean. en what is the path to becoming one.
thank you.
wa ‘alaykumusalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I have to confess I don’t know much about the Muslim community in Holland, but I would google “sufi” “tariqa” and the various names like “naqshbandi” “chishti” etc. to see whether there are any organisations near where you live.
beautiful indeed!
