IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST MERCIFUL, THE MOST COMPASSIONATE

On each side of the earth,
In the life of each one who loves,
In the blood of each human,
You read His name,
You weave your knowledges like that.

“Do not forget!” said Mevlana:
The foundation of ONEness
Passes through love:
It [? he/she ?] develops with love,
It [? he/she ?] works with love.
At the place where there is no love,
Unnecessary knowledges mix [with one another].
Each society sets up its own knowledge world.
Some of them form with love,
Some of them make come together with anger,
[and] Make society's rule of harmony
Work in a contrary way.
[however,] The wish of my Rab is not this.
There are also orders [systems]
That are contrary in beauty.
As long as
One is not destructive, [one is not] burner [some one who destroys by burning], [one is not] spiller [i.e. as opposite to “gatherer to become ONE”].
Human should not stay outside of humanity.

Yunus Emre said,
The bee that makes honey,
In order to protect its honey,
It may stick its sting
Into your hand, into your face.
It is contradictory, but it is not irrelevant.

Hadji Bektas said,
If I give my hand, if you hold,
If I ask [about] my worry, if you say [if you comfort me],
If I say, “Are you my close friend?”
Do we become close friends?
Do we find the beauty?

Meryem and Fatima, [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
They came to word, they stood by.
They put their hands on my back.
Meryem said,
Each life that you call as “close friend”
Is in You, is with you.

Fatima said,
If you are wrapped in Rab’s love,
You say:
Close friendships are worth of every thing.
I said:
My Rab Who makes you, me [be] one,
My Rab Who gathered together from darling, [? Darling ?]
Of course
HE will make us come together with beauties,
HE will make us work for human, for humanity,
HE will make each one of us come together with the reward that HE promised.

Yesevi said,
My Rab
Comes together with each one who wishes,
Works with each one who wishes.
HE sends the one who does not know Him
To the known place,
And HE says:
“If you knew ME,
You, you would find YOUrself.
You, without knowing YOUrself,
Where did you search yourself?”

Let close friends plead,
Let them be prayerful in the name of humanity,
Let them be [prayerful] so that it [humanity] finds The Beauty.

Let selam [peace/greeting] be, let selam be, let selam be.

Allahu Ekber [Allah is The Greatest], Allahu Ekber, Allahu Ekber.

Lailaheillallah Muhammeden Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped; we wish to YOU and to Your Representative Mohammad.]

LOVE, SEE & SHARE:

Love all HIS creations;
See HIM in all of HIS creations;
Share HIS Meaning.
