(About the poem “My Princess“)

Let me say this, this expression of my love within is not about my Love to Allah in that way you think. This is about my princess, simple…however its meaning is deeper then you think…

My words does not go against neither Sunna, Fatwa or Quran. I did not trivilise any fatwa…how can I do such ? How can you run when you can’t walk ? And how can you walk when you can’t stand ? The Sharia is the strengh in the ribs which will make you stand…

Now regarding the Rank of the Lovers, let me post these 3 Hadith for you, from Mishkatul Anwar by Hassan Tabarsi(RA), a well known muhadith:

603- In Al-Mahasin it is narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) told
Zeyad: “Woe to you. Is religion anything but love? Have
you not seen the words of God: “If ye do love God, follow
me. God will love you and forgive you your sins for God is
Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful” [The Holy Quran: Ali-i-
Imran 3:31]

Have you not heard what God the Almighty told
Muhammad: “But God has endeared the Faith to you, and
has made it beautiful in your hearts, and He has made
hateful to you unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion: such
indeed are those who walk in righteousness.” [The Holy
Quran: Hujurat 49:7]

And God the Almighty said: “Show their affection to such
as came to them for refuge.” [The Holy Quran: Hashr
59:9]; Therefore religion is the same as love, and love is the
same as religion.”

605- Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A believer can taste the sweetness of
God’s love if he abstains from the world. He will thus
succeed. Then he will attain God’s love. He will be
considered to be insane by those who love the world, but in
fact the sweetness of God’s love has made him attend to
nothing but God.”

607- Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of God’s Prophet
(a.s): “Those who love for the sake of God will be located
on the right hand side of God- both His hands are right
and on a fresh chrysolite’ green land under the shade of His
Throne on the Resurrection Day. Their faces will be whiter
than snow, and shinier than the Sun. All the nearby-
stationed angels and all the appointed Prophets will be
envious of their position. The people will ask who they are.
They will be told: “Those are the ones who loved for God’s
sake.”

This was the hadith I was refering to regarding the Rank of the Lovers. Know this though, the Seal of Messengers (S) is the Best of Creatures, and I promise you this…if all the prophets (except the Last (S)), angels, messengers, men and jinn together said one Takbir (Allahu Akbar) It would not be to the same extent as one takbir of Imam Ali (A) !

You see sis. Pearls, everything is in different levels. Even the hadiths, Quran verses etc. The rank of prophets are different, just look upon Prophet and Messenger Musa (A), a friend of Allah (Awliya Allah) by the Name of Khidr (A) had higher rank then him !
The best of ranks and best of creation and beloved of Allah is no one else then Muhammad (S) and then his Household (A), who had the highest ranks in all, even in the rank of the Lovers they where the best. You see there is for example a rank called Prophets, but the prophets themselver are of different ranks..the same with Lovers.
So by my saying I don’t go against anything, rather I prove the Superiority of Prophet Muhammed (S) !

Look upon the Duas and Munajat of the Lord of Worshipers (A) and Imam Ali (A). These are not mere supplications. Their deep love for Allah made them cry for Him. These words are not just “Duas”, they are expressions of their inner. Munajat Ali (A) for example, he express what he feels for Allah, such love no one except the Prophet (S) had attined.
Similarly these poems of mine are in the same way. I express my inner, I can do this in Dua, which I do in personall inner Duas which is between me and Allah, and I when my heart gets overflowed with love, give the pen to it and let it write down the emotions.

Further, this poem did not express the sensuality of this mystical princess. If it did, then show me where…it showed the Beauty of it. And yes, similar is in the Quran. Let me quote some Verses (and surely you wont go Against Allah !):

And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,-
Like unto Pearls well-guarded.
A Reward for the deeds of their past (life).
/ Holy Quran 56:22-24

If you want further verses regarding the houries and women of Jenna, I can find more but this is sufficient for now. As you see Allah in His Holy Book describes the Beauty of the houries far more eloquent then me ! And the Beliving Women…they are beyond the houries..

Let me tell you what I belive. This Ummah has become dull and grey. They have made such a beauty as Sharia something which limitze, instead of giving possiblities.
The Prophet (S) loved an entire nation when they curse, spit and hit him…and what was the result ? He became beloved by an entire world…
If you want to be Beloved, you must spread Love !
Allah Loves, and see how He is beloved ! In nahjul balagha it is written that when Allah made the Creation of the Universe, He appointed Angels who went into prostration and have not yet raised their heads from there ! Why ? Love of Allah…

The Prophet (S) came with a new system and he stood up, the True Islam of Muhammad is a revolutionary one. And we must bring back this Love he (S) once spread, and pull us out of this misery we are in.

All I can say this, from what I little I have learnt from the Perfect Man, Prophet Muhammad (S), If you want to taste Love…then give Love !

May Allah Love you !
