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

At the birth of the sun [at sunrise]
Each beautiful one that I see,
I wrote [it/him/her/Him] in my mind,
I engraved its/his/her/His love in my heart.
Each step that I took/take,
I directed [it] toward right [correct].
When I came to sunset, [at sunset]
I tried to draw [sketch] the ones that I saw,
[I tried] To untie the knots.
I said,
The day on which we live,
There may be knots too.
If you can be patient, it is untied easily.
Patience is the key of every difficulty.
Human should be able to educate him/herself,
Human should be able to grind the knowledges that he/she takes.

Mevlana said,
The one who plants the wheat
Knows the soil,
Gives his/her effort like that.
The one who takes the wheat can grind [it],
He/she knows what [kind of] service he/she is in [he/she performs].
The one who takes his/her flour, can cook his/her bread.
Service from human to human is like this.
To know with what [kind of] services
Each morsel of bread that you eat is made,
Makes the one who eats earn divine merit.

Yunus Emre said,
Bread is the main nourishment of human.
If one has mother’s love as much as the bread that he/she eats,
It makes [him/her] win His heaven.

Pir Sultan Abdal said,
[I looked] At His soil, at His water,
I looked at his/her beautiful temperament:
You both love the soil
And praise the waters.
You wish for your pleading
At the door of the saints.

Yesevi said,
You took your path, you go,
You drive your herds.
At each door
You touch the soil with your hand.
Does it come from soil to you?
[or,] Does it arrive at the soil from you?
I said,
My Rab [God] sets up the order.
The knowledge that we take
Is useful for each one of us.
We are never helpless,
We take fear from no one. [we are not scared of anybody]

Meryem and Fatima [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
Stopped on our path.
They asked each one of us [about] our identity.
I said,
We are the brave ones of Allah,
We conform to His beautiful one,
Each word that comes from Hak
We hear all together.
There is no "that day-this day" of His Representative:
He is present on every day, in each moment, on every side.

Hazrat Meryem said,
Hearts
Are in One,
Will stay in One.
Every day, in each moment,
HIS close friends will remember HIM.

Fatima said,
Whatever human seeks, he/she finds that.
HE makes all universe find.

Hazrat Ali said,
It is sufficient if you take one step,
Anxiety, worry ends.
Allah will set up His Own order,
HE will stand behind the promise that HE made. [HE will keep HIS promise]
One [human] conforms to whatever HE says,
HE hears whatever you say.
The most beautiful flowers
Are given to the hand of His Representative,
Are gathered in the hand of each one who wishes.
HE leaves no one without love,
HE keeps no one away from his love.
Whether you know or you do not know,
HE puts no one as separate.
On the beautiful one of the day
You will be filled with love,
You will stay with love,
You will laugh with love. [to laugh==to follow the footprints of Prophet Mohammad]

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.
