Everything that should make her confident and fulfilled. Yet there is an emptiness at the heart of Ella's life - an emptiness once filled by love.

She embarks on a journey to meet the mysterious author of this work. It is a quest infused with Sufi mysticism and verse, taking Ella and us into an exotic world where faith and love are heartbreakingly explored. . . 'Enlightening, enthralling.

The Forty Rules of Love

Sairaaa

Language did more to hide than reveal the truth, and as a result people constantly misunderstood and misjudged one another. In a world beset with mistranslations, there was no use being resolute about any topic, because it might as well be that even our strongest convictions were caused by a simple misunderstanding.

Keep you heart clean, for Allah s.w.t. lives inside our hearts🤍

Do they think God resides in Mecca or Medina? Or in some local mosque somewhere? How can they imagine that God could be confined to limited space when He openly says, Neither My heaven nor My earth embraces Me, but the heart of My believing servant does embrace Me.

"It's Rule Number Forty, A life without love is of no account. Don't ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, Eastern or Western. . . . Divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple." 

"Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire! "The universe turns differently when fire loves water." 

Srijita Sarkar 

Just as clay needs to go through intense heat to become strong, Love can only be perfected in pain.

Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to us better than the one to come?
