‘The Sufi’s book is not of ink and letters; it is nothing but a heart white as snow’ (Mevlana Rumi, Mathnawi II.159)
Peace, one and all…
When Love Passes By
When love passes by,
racing hearts
fall silently into
the spaces between the stars
When love passes by,
eyes become moist,
as though they would
water the dry earth herself.
When love passes by,
grey-death himself
raises his hands
in silent prayer.
(Abdur Rahman, 19th January 2008)

Peace, one and all…
Al hamdu lillahi ala kulli hal. Praise be to God, in every time and in every place, in every condition and in every state.
There are few TV programmes I really enjoy. One of those that I do (and try not to miss if I’m at home), is QTV’s daily Qawwali show (from 6 – 7pm UK time). Here are some qawwals that have either been featured there, or else I unearthed on You Tube!
At any rate, take a moment or two to enjoy them.
Badar Miandad Qawwal: Mast Malang Fareed Di
Badar Miandad Qawwal: Ali Ali Maula Ali
Farid Ayaz Qawwal: Allah ho Allah
Ma’as salama,
Abdur Rahman
