The Beloved

O you who claim to love Allah, your love for Him cannot be considered perfect
until all other directions are closed where He is concerned, and you have only one direction left.
Your Beloved will expel from your heart all creatures between the heavenly throne and the surface of the earth,
so you will love neither this world nor the hereafter......

One day Layla's Majnun was asked: "Who are you?" "Layla," he replied.
He was blind to everything apart from her, and deaf to hearing any speech but hers.
He would not give her up because of any kind of criticism.
