Ibn ‘Arabi: The Religion of Love
I follow
the religion of love,
wherever
its mounts head out;
so love
is my religion
and my faith.
أدين بدينِ الـحـبِ أنّى توجـَّهَـت
ركائبُهُ فالحـبُ دينى وإيمانى
Adīnu bi-dīni l-ḥubbi anná tawajjahat
Rakā’ibuhu fa-l-ḥubbu dīnī wa-īmānī
I’ve gotten permission from Dr. Alan Godlas (Abdul Haqq), who is a professor at the University of Georgia for Islamic and Sufi studies, to repost his Facebook postings on Islam and Sufism. All translations are done by Abdul Haqq Godlas unless otherwise noted.
