Allusion

Majnun

Majnun was the son of a chieftain of an Arab tribe, originally named Qais. Falling deeply in love with a girl named Layla, he became Majnun, meaning "the mad one". In Persian Sufi poetry, Majnun and Layla are often used symbolically, representing the devoted seeker and the divine, respectively.

Sufi Quotes

Remember, Divine Union is not possible to attain without the purification of inmost being. Laila had her vein opened, Majnun, bleeded. What kind of Zikr he was engrossed in? Human mind is contaminated by evil thinking. Auliya Allah have prescribed remembrance just to help disciples concentrate on Him and become steadfast.
