Ep-69 Part 2 : #LoveStoryMaqam of Bibi Rabia Balkhi and Bektash, my favourite Love story.
I think this is it. I think this is the place that holds the answer to the question that I am looking for. The most important #LoveStoryMaqam that i could ever cover I think.
For centuries people have done miracles by just loving someone. How is it possible that someone can attain sainthood just by loving a slave of your brother. This story, I think holds the truth.
Why is it that only through love you can attain such blessing, the truth, that even at the time of your death you are thinking nothing but the person that holds your heart.
The most beautiful force of nature ever created by Allah is undoubtely Love. And if you truly Love someone overlooking their faults, thier shortcomings, their behaviours towards you and so on.
If you truly are given this beautiful gift of truly loving someone above all that which is physical as well as worldly, which unfortunately is the way the world works now, If you are truly given that 'heart of gold' by Allah, then truly i think you can reach to the divine truth in this life itself.
This is what I derive from the story of Rabia balkhi. What a remarkable women and what an extraordinary beautiful story.
Resting place of Rabia Balkhi where she was confined to in her last stage of her life by her cruel and jealous brother.

As someone beautifully said in Urdu "Kisi ko itna pyaar karo ki tumhe Khuda mil jaye..."
Alhamdulillah.

Ep-70 : Visiting Mazar-e-sharif and Chashma-e-shafa, #LostMaqam
Alhamdulillah i sang the song and i visited Mazar e shareef. The place undoubtedly holds the spiritual connection to Imam Ali a.s but does it really contains the body of Imam Ali a.s as well.
I don't think so. Yes there are some narrations that tells us that his body was brought here secretly but that narration is just too weak. I just couldn't feel the spiritual aura that a burial place should have especially when we are talking about Imam Ali a.s.
Yes undoubtedly it is related to Imam Ali but most probably as a qadamgah and not as a burial place.
Allah knows best.
