Call of Love

Call of Love
At every instant and from every side, resounds the call of Love:
We are going to the sky, who wants to come with us?
We have gone to heaven, we have been the friends of the angels,
And now we will go back there, for there is our country.

We are higher than heaven, more noble than the angels:
Why not go beyond them? Our goal is the Supreme Majesty.
What has the fine pearl to do with the world of dust?
Why have you come down here? Take your baggage back.
What is this place? Luck is with us, to us is the sacrifice!...

Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean--the ocean of the soul.
Like the birds of the sea, men come from the ocean--the ocean of the soul.
How could this bird, born from that sea, make his dwelling here?

No, we are the pearls from the bosom of the sea, it is there that we dwell:
Otherwise how could the wave succeed to the wave that comes from the soul?
The wave named 'Am I not your Lord' has come, it has broken the vessel of the body;

And when the vessel is broken, the vision comes back, and the union with Him.

Eva de Vitray-Meyerovitch, 'Rumi and Sufism' trans. Simone Fattal Sausalito, CA: Post-Apollo Press, 1977, 1987.

Hadith

Narrated Aisha:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have two neighbors; which of them should I give a gift to?" The Prophet said, "(Give) to the one whose door is nearer to you."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, "One who takes back his gift (which he has already given) is like a dog that swallows its vomit."

Hadith

A companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "(The Prophet) took hold of my shoulder and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler.'"

Jamila Smiles

Poem on exhibit at the grand war Museum on New Malaysia. The poem was found on the body of Sgt. Kazem Al Saher after the siege of the capitol of New Gaul during the great war. The Franks in a desperate attempt to dislodge the confederate troops used Nuclear weapons on their own planet. The desperate bid failed and the capitol was captured.

I am down in the muck
Waist deep in blood and mud
And then Jamila smiles
And I don’t care anymore.

The sky lights up
A Sun has been created at midnight
A thunderous wave of wind
Beats me down

And then Jamila smiles
And I don’t care

The pain fades away
I feel myself becoming lighter
And the darkness
Begins to close in
And then Jamila smiles
And I don’t care


It is believed from where Sgt Kazem Al Saher body was found that he survived the injuries and radiation poisoning from the nuclear blast for several days.

HADITH

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Anas bin Malik
A true believer loves for his brother what he loves for himself.

Sana’i: "Hadiqat al-haqiqa"

Both infidelity and faith
upon his path run apace,
united in their praise confess
that "He is One without likeness."

Independent worlds

A picture of Thaiworld from high orbit

Not all star systems, after the invention of the Wormhole drive, decided to join into or create alliances with other star system many prized their long held independence and did not want to give it up. Some planets are able to maintain their independence by having large militaries such as, New Prussia and Thor. Others are able to do so as the environmental conditions are so harsh as to make them not worth the effort, an example of this is Kalistan Prime. Of course the primary reason these worlds are unable to maintain their Independence is with such a vast universe to explore and colonize there is little need to conquer another star system.

This is a list of known independent worlds. This is by no means all of them, as most scholars agree there are many more to be discovered. It is known that during man’s first expansion into interstellar space that the Koreans sent out 7 giant colony arks over a four year period and none of the colonies have yet to be discovered.

Celestial Empire

New China

The Celestial Empire is ruled by the Chang Dynasty. The Government is a constitutional monarchy. The Royal family holds most of the power through their control of the civil service. The Celestial Empire has flourished mostly because of the extremely efficient civil service. The Empire’s civil service is the very model of a meritocracy at its best.
The empire has managed to avoid entangling alliances and with a sizable Space navy has made the other powers in the galaxy show them respect.

Saying of the Prophet Muhammad in Khanaqahi:

Your worst enemy lies between your two ribs.

-Saying of the Prophet Muhammad in Khanaqahi

Sa’di: “Kulliyyat-I Sa’di”

Sa’di: "Kulliyyat-I Sa’di"

Unless a benefit exists for someone else within,
buried in such a heart,
rough-hewn granite
and precious stones are one.

-Sa’di: "Kulliyyat-I Sa’di"

Shia Systems Alliance

New Qom From Orbit

The Shia Systems Alliance is a highly centralized socialist state; all major industries are controlled by the state. The capitol is on New Qom where the Supreme Council of Ayatollahs meets. It is also from here that they dispatch Judges to oversee the local governments, who are typically democratically elected. The Shia Systems Alliance has a large active military, with all males 18-40, who are not in the active military, in the reserves. This allows them to draw up a huge reserve force when they need. They also have many females in the reserve planetary defense forces.

Nizam al-Din, "Fawa'id al-Fu'ad

Nizam al-Din, "Fawa'id al-Fu'ad"

The master continued, "If you put oil, pepper, garlic and onion in a cauldron, and merely add water, you have not made a stew. The basis for a stew is meat; the other ingredients are optional. Similarly, spiritual progress depends on detaching yourself from material posessions; other virtuous practices are optional."

-Nizam al-Din, "Fawa'id al-Fu'ad"

Al-Ghazzali, "Ihya Ulum Id-Din"

Al-Ghazzali, "Ihya Ulum Id-Din"

Even before accomplishing enlightenment a person knows that everything attests to the existence of God. But these virtuous feelings of innocence disappear as he begins to mingle with corrupt society, because worldly affairs hinder him from swimming in the vast ocean of insight.

Al-Ghazzali, "Ihya Ulum Id-Din"

Junayd: Tawhid

Most people act on their own account; they pursue personal ambitions without seeking God’s guidance and grace. By asserting the self they will achieve nothing.
