Did You Know

Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia's Khanqah attracted greater number of people as compared to the count of the then Sultans. The Sultans always wondered what lured the common man to the Khanqah. Alauddin Khilji had sent spies to his Khanqah with a view to knowing and if necessary checking such influx of people. The people still kept coming in large numbers.

Sufi Quotes

Shams praises Rumi. But if Rumi illumines the common people, that is only because he reflects the light which Shams shines upon him: “Well, how could I offend you? I am fearful to kiss your feet, feast my lashes scratch them. Union with you is mast Precious. Alas that life will not last. I wish I had a world full of gold to bestow upon union with you.”

Sufi Quotes

Shams is “The Lord of the lord of the lords of truth” and “the chief of the lord of lords.” (Rumi) Shams Tabrezi discuses on the different aspects of Islamic mysticism as fellows: Blessing of God: “Blessing is excess, so to speak, an excess of everything. Don’t be content with being a Faqih, say I want more-more than being a Sufi, more than being a mystic -more than each thing that comes before you.”
