Part of a famous
quotation from the Sufi mystic poet Ibn
Arabi:
"I believe in the religion of Love,
whichever way its caravans may go, for
Love is my faith and my religion."

adeenu bi-deen il-hubbi
anna tawajjahat raka'ibuhu
fal-hubbu deenee wa eemanee

N.B. I make no claims to being an
Arabic calligrapher - it usually takes
thirty years of daily practice to become
a master calligrapher in Arabic! |
