Comments for Abdur Rahman's Corner http://thecorner.wordpress.com 'The Sufi's book is not of ink and letters; it is nothing but a heart white as snow' (Mevlana Rumi, Mathnawi II.159) Sat, 17 May 2008 23:12:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU Comment on Who is Abdur Rahman? by Abdur Rahman http://thecorner.wordpress.com/abdur-rahman-an-introduction/#comment-28491 Abdur Rahman Fri, 16 May 2008 10:17:56 +0000 https://thecorner.wordpress.com/abdur-rahman-an-introduction/#comment-28491 Peace Dr. Aparna, To answer your last question first, there are probably many Sufi musicians and poets in Wales - but I am not aware of many organised events. Before I moved to the South Wales Valleys I lived in rural West Wales, where I met many deeply creative people. I too am fascinated by Sufi philosophy and music. As you can probably see, I am a great fan of Qawwali music, and of Turkish Sufi music too. Do you live in Wales? If so, where? I live in Merthyr Tydfil. Thank you for your kind compliment regarding my poetry. In truth, all that is beautiful comes from God, the Sustainer of All Being. Only the mistakes are mine (though I am honoured by your compliment). Abdur Rahman Peace Dr. Aparna,

I beleive I would be unjust if I do not quote evidence from the Holy Quran,

12:85 And he (Jacob) turned away from them, and said: “How great is my grief for Joseph!” And his eyes became white with sorrow, and he fell into silent melancholy.
12:85 They said: “By God! (never) wilt thou cease to remember Joseph until thou reach the last extremity of illness, or until thou die!”
12:86 He said: “I only complain of my distraction and anguish to God, and I know from God that which ye know not…

Does the heaven or the earth weep? or does it mean the angels in heaven and people on earth weep?

44:29 So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited.
44:30 And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,
44:31 From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of the extravagant.
