Thank you for this poem and this video. Just beautiful. “You’re thirsty as the desert for the rain, but there’s a spring in you” Peace and love from Croatia.
I have to listen to this everyday 😊
"Such Happiness As Never Known Before" When the staunchest of opponents' hearts turn, then all the good of their forefathers shines, war in gaza corrodes within and burns, may aggressors' descendants re-align, the sons of kings cannot compare to love, divine in origin and expanse, turn, heart, turn, to love the oppressed, my love, forgiveness and tranquility advance, Dear sons and daughters know you're innocent, of your fathers sins and trespassed souls, recall original nature to win, recall your covenant with the One Lord, Islam means loving surrender to God, such happiness as never known before!
So beautiful🥹🥹🥹🥹

Salaam Alaikum brother I just thought of you and couldn't remember where In the USA you were from and then I remembered why I took a liking to you And that was Maulana Rumi. You are probably thinking who I am. You came to my parents house whilst you were in the UK and I had the privilege to join you for a cup of tea . SHAHID brother of Sophia Khan. I breafly introduced you to my sons. It's me and Insha Allah I will keep in touch via your videos. Salaam Alaikum Wa RahmatUllah Wa Barakah Tu Hu
