Tonight I realised that a person can be bound to another with ties far stronger than those binding them to life itself.

Kahrında hoş, lütfunda hoş
Your wrath is a blessing, as is your grace
| Yunus Emre
✒️ Calligraphy by Talip Mert
The more you give thanks, the more things you’ll have to be thankful for.
The more you recognise what you have, the less you dwell on what you lack.
A heart that is grateful will always find reasons to be content, even when life gives it every reason to complain.
Choosing to stay through someone's vulnerability is where love rises from emotion to ethics. There are ways of staying where a person appears completely still outwardly, but inwardly, a lifelong fear lowers its weapon for the first time. We heal where our wounds are revered.
Humanity can only fulfill its true purpose of creation by attaining spiritual maturity. Otherwise, mankind is destined to remain immature.
The very first word that Mevlânâ writes in his Mesnevi is بشنو, that is, to listen.
The secrets of this vast universe are not unveiled to every ear, but to the heart that attentively listens.
Hearing is of the ears, but listening is of the soul!
If someone helps you while struggling with their own battles, that is not merely help; it is love in one of its purest forms.
Never take lightly the kindness of someone who shows up for you while fighting battles you may never fully understand.
Let him come with humility, for therein lies the mark of nobility. Those who look down upon others shall find themselves cast down from where they stand.
| Yunus Emre
Åferin erbâb-ı aşkın kuvve-i bâzüsuna
Aşka isti'dadın olsun dilrubadan çok ne var
Blessed be the strength of those who have mastered love! May your heart be gifted with the capacity to love, for what is rarer than a heart that can truly love?

Ibn Khaldun once said, “Man is a child of his own habits” meaning, we are the products of our habits.
What we do repeatedly slowly shapes who we become. Our habits may seem insignificant in the moment, yet over time, they determine the direction of our lives.
The survival of humanity depends on civilization, and the sustainability of civilization depends on justice.
| Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır
Hakka çalış şübhe gelürse dile
Tiğ-ı tevekkeltü al-Allah ile
When doubt finds its way your heart, strive to scrape it away by placing your full trust in Allah!
| Lâedrî
Perform your prayer beautifully, prolong your prostrations, take deep breaths, read the Quran with deep contemplation, remember Allah abundantly, and constantly remind yourself that this world is temporary.
| Shaykh Ali al-Tantavi
Whoever stands helplessly before their Lord shall return with a thousand solutions
Go to him with an empty heart, and he will fill it with peace. Go to him broken, and trust in his power to make you whole
For the one who places their trust in Allah is never truly without hope
What is difficult for the ego to bear is often that which is most pleasing to Allah.
| Aziz Mahmud Hüdâyî (k.s)
Çiçeği altın yaldız
Suyu telli pulludur
Ay ve güneş ezelden
İki İstanbulludur
Its flowers are gilded in gold, its waters adorned with silver and pearls. Since eternity, the moon and sun have called Istanbul home.
| Necip Fazıl Kisakürek
Tasawwuf cannot exist without Shari’ah.
A Sufi order without Shari’ah is like an unbound manuscript. Its pages will scatter in the wind, and its wisdom will inevitably disappear into nothingness.
