A Faqir has no religion – there is only Haq and love, says Sain Zuhoor

If a Faqir has no religion, what does he follow?
“Only Ishq matters. Nothing else. God gave birth to each and every being on this planet. We owe it to Him to stay on the right path, to have humanity. We have to love one another and be there for one another. That is my religion.”

Nizamuddin Auliya: The Darwesh of Love

Nizamuddin studied hard. But Badaun could not cure his thirst for knowledge. He wanted to move to Delhi, the seat of education at that time. It was 1260. Bibi Zulaikha agreed. The family left Badaun.
