Love is to tear the curtains of God's Heart Garden and to discover the
secrets in it
The author of the book “Fütûhât-I Mekkiyye”, Ibn Arabî
“Revealed a split in the hearts of those who truly love God. Thus, they see
the glory of God with their lights of hearts. They wander among the ranks of
the angels and observe what works in reality. They worship Him fondly with
their most forces without desiring to heaven and fearing the fire.”

•Love serves as my guide to the very end,
•All alone, toward the majestic Friend,
•I was kissing the ground – and I arrive

29. Jalaluddin Rumi the great Persian mystic poet has said
about the power and fruits of love very nicely:
• "Through love all that is bitter will
be sweet
• Through love all that is copper will
be gold
• Through love all dregs will turn to
purest wine
• Through love all pains will turn to
medicine
• Through love all the dead will
become alive
• Through love the king will turn
into a slave"
