Dervish

 Wise men say

Only fools rush inBut I can't help falling in love with youShall I stay?Would it be a sinIf I can't help falling in love with you?

Dervish is a term used to describe a Sufi practitioner, who is a member of a Muslim mystical order called a tariqa. Sufism is a mystical branch of Islam that focuses on spiritual practices and the development of a personal relationship with God.

Dervishes are known for their ascetic lifestyles, which involve renouncing material possessions and dedicating themselves to spiritual pursuits. They engage in various forms of spiritual practices, including meditation, chanting, and dance, as a means of achieving a state of ecstasy and connection with the divine.

The most well-known form of dance associated with dervishes is the whirling dance, also known as the Sama. This dance involves spinning around in a circular motion while listening to music and reciting prayers. The spinning is believed to be a form of meditation and a way of connecting with the divine.

Dervishes also place a strong emphasis on service to others and living a life of compassion and kindness. They are known for their generosity and hospitality towards guests and visitors, and often engage in charitable works and social activism.

In addition to their spiritual practices, dervishes also adhere to a code of ethics and principles known as adab, which emphasizes humility, honesty, and respect for others.

Dervishes have a long and rich history in Islamic culture, dating back to the early days of Islam. They have played an important role in preserving and promoting Islamic spirituality and culture, and continue to inspire and influence people around the world with their spiritual practices and teachings.

Today, dervish orders can be found throughout the Muslim world, and their practices and teachings continue to inspire people of all backgrounds and religions. The beauty and grace of their whirling dance, in particular, has captivated audiences around the world and become a symbol of Islamic spirituality and mysticism.

CURRENCY OF LOVE

  From the outside, her life looks like a dream—big houses, luxury cars, and a wardrobe filled with designer labels. Her days seem adorned with privilege, charm, and endless opportunities. She is young, beautiful, and admired by many, yet her heart carries a weight few can see. This is the story of a young soul longing for something that money cannot buy: connection, understanding, and love. Behind the sparkling façade, she feels unheard, unseen, and alone. Her kitchen has become her sanctuary. Cooking, for her, is not just a chore but a form of expression—a way to pour her emotions into something tangible. Yet, ironically, she finds little joy in her own meals. She feeds others with love but remains starved for the nourishment of companionship. Her life is a paradox. To the world, she is a princess; to herself, she is a wandering soul searching for a life, which truly understand her. She feels caged in a golden prison, her every movement watched, her every word judged. The world a...

Beauty: Dynamic & Fluid Concept

 Beauty is a product of Human creation & Interpretation The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the small garden where the old man and his young student sat. The air was filled with the scent of blooming jasmine, and the gentle rustle of leaves seemed to whisper secrets of the world. The old man, with his silver beard and eyes that held wrinkles of decades wisdom, leaned back on a wooden bench. His student, a curious young lad with a notebook in his lap, looked at him expectantly. “Master,” he began, his voice soft but eager, “you always say that beauty is everywhere. But what is beauty? Is it the flowers, the sunset, or something more?” The old master smiled, his gaze lingering on a butterfly that had just landed on a nearby flower. “Ah, my dear,” he said, his voice like a gentle breeze, “ Beauty is not just what you see. It is what you feel. Tell me, when you look at this butterfly, what comes to your mind?”. The young lad tilted his head, studying the delicate cre...
