The moon taught me there is beauty in darkness too, that even when I don't feel whole, I am enough.

From the Tanakh, Tehillim Psalms 121-7:

שִׁ֗יר לַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת אֶשָּׂ֣א עֵ֭ינַי אֶל־הֶהָרִ֑ים מֵ֝אַ֗יִן יָבֹ֥א עֶזְרִֽי׃

1- A song for ascents.

I turn my eyes to the mountains;

from where will my help come?

עֶ֭זְרִי מֵעִ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה עֹ֝שֵׂ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃

2- My help comes from the LORD, maker of heaven and earth.

אַל־יִתֵּ֣ן לַמּ֣וֹט רַגְלֶ֑ךָ אַל־יָ֝נ֗וּם שֹׁמְרֶֽךָ׃

3- He will not let your foot give way; your guardian will not slumber;

הִנֵּ֣ה לֹֽא־יָ֭נוּם וְלֹ֣א יִישָׁ֑ן שׁ֝וֹמֵ֗ר יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

4- See, the guardian of Israel

neither slumbers nor sleeps!

יְהֹוָ֥ה שֹׁמְרֶ֑ךָ יְהֹוָ֥ה צִ֝לְּךָ֗ עַל־יַ֥ד יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

5- The LORD is your guardian, the LORD is your protection at your right hand.

יוֹמָ֗ם הַשֶּׁ֥מֶשׁ לֹֽא־יַכֶּ֗כָּה וְיָרֵ֥חַ בַּלָּֽיְלָה׃

6- By day the sun will not strike you,

nor the moon by night.

יְֽהֹוָ֗ה יִשְׁמׇרְךָ֥ מִכׇּל־רָ֑ע יִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר אֶת־נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃

7- The LORD will guard you from all harm; He will guard your life.

יְֽהֹוָ֗ה יִשְׁמׇר־צֵאתְךָ֥ וּבוֹאֶ֑ךָ מֵ֝עַתָּ֗ה וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ {פ}

8- The LORD will guard your going and coming, now and forever.

“I felt pantheistic then— your heart beat in my ribs and mine in yours, and both in God’s.”

— Herman Melville, from a letter to Nathaniel Hawthorne,1851 (via bluebeardsbride)

[muhibuallah]

Yet part of the rhythm of creation, according to the message of the Qur’an, is that humanity is bound to forget. In the presence of an Abraham, a Jesus, a Moses, or a Muhammad, all is real, all is luminous. If a prophet tells us that bones will be resurrected and those long dead will be gathered again in a place with soothing shade and flowing rivers, we believe everything this prophet says. In time, however, we forget. The task of prophecy is to remind us of that which we have known, and still know somewhere deep inside. There is no new lesson to learn; our task is only to remember, to recall what we already know, to remember who we are.

— Memories of Muhammad, Omid Safi

Who is Hazrat Ali ع;

The quencher of Kawthar, no one but Ali ع !

The conquerer of Khayber, no one but Ali ع !

The lion of God, no one but Ali ع !

The hope of Orphans, no one but Ali ع !

The confidant of Allah's secrets, no one but Ali ع !

The gateway to the knowledge of Muhammad ص is, no one but Ali ع !

Ahmed Mater, Magnetism, 2012

These two photographs by Saudi Arabian artist Ahmed Mater were recently shown in the V&A’s free temporary exhibition ‘Light from the Middle East: New Photography’. Concerning this piece, the museum said:

In the series ‘Magnetism’, what at first appear to be pilgrims circling the Ka’ba, the sacred building at the heart of the sanctuary at Mecca, are in fact iron filings spiralling around a cube-shaped magnet. Mater refers to the spiritual force that Muslim believers feel during Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. By creating photographs that recall well-known images on a dramatically different scale, Mater also questions the reliability of photography.
