Wheresoever Ye Turn ...




Do not attach yourself to any particular creed exclusively, so that you may disbelieve all the rest ... Otherwise you will lose much good, nay, you will fail to recognize the real truth of the matter ... God, the Omnipresent and Omnipotent, is not confined to any one creed ... For He says, "Wheresoever ye turn, there is the face of Allah" - (Qur'aan 2:115)


It is reported that the Messenger of God (PBUH) said:

God is beautiful and He loves beauty 
It is God who made the world and brought it into existence 
The entire universe is therefore supremely beautiful
There is nothing ugly in it 
On the contrary 
In it God has brought together all perfection and all beauty


He whom God has illuminated sees Him in all things ...


- The Sufi Mystic Ibn al-Arabi (born 1165, Spain), (May God sanctify his noble soul)



God is with you wheresoever ye may be (The Quran 57:4)
