Listen to the Reed

Rachel has a wonderful post on how the Divine is heard through Divine creation. It reminded of this poem of Rumi (posted many moons ago in a different context): بشنو از نى چون حكايت ميكند از جدائيها شكايت ميكند beshno az nay con hekaayat mekonad az judaa’ihaa shekaayat mekonad listen to the reed as it tells a tale as it complains of separation How beautiful is the image of humanity simply being instruments for the Divine sound?

Defining Islam

Nice op-ed piece about what it means to be Muslim. Regardless of whether you think she remains within the fold of Islam or not is your business. I think she makes a good point, neither OBL, nor the media can define what Islam is. Technorati Tags: Islam
