Parents praise for Imam Al Ghazli Book Project

Imam al-Ghazali continues to be a teacher for one and all for centuries.

The al-Ghazali Children’s Project also continues to grow and flourish interactively with its volumes for the young on character refinement.

The project has evolved into a key element in the much needed paradigm shift for effective character refinement and beautiful education for the young.

Countless letters from parents to the publisher note that this condensation and simplification of the essential teachings of Imam al-Ghazali have made it possible for them to realize these meaningful and universal truths in their own lives.  For more check out https://ghazalichildren.org/

New book on Mawlana Rumi by Shems Friedlander Now Published

 Today, when so many would like to read Rumi and remove any reference to Sufism and Islam, Shems Friedlander places him unequivocally within Sufism and the Heart of Islam, clearly and emphatically stating the necessity of studying Rumi in his essence, as a Sufi saint, the founder of the Mevlevi Order of Dervishes, as well as one of the greatest metaphysical poets and literary figures the world has known.

Friedlander sheds new light on the relationship of Shems and Rumi and offers a theory about Shems’ disappearance not previously voiced. We are the heirs of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi. How will we treat this inheritance? Will we squander it among those who have been deceived by the world? Argue its validity with scholars in classrooms and teahouses; or will we feed yearning hearts, enhance the intellectual desires of youth, and fill the gap of disappointment of those who have reached maturity and seniority and are still empty?  (From Amazon review)

Rumi and The Night of Power-Ramadan

 

Mawlana Rumi on The Night of Power – Ramadan 

God,
just like the Night of Power,
is hidden amidst the other nights
So that the soul
will go on seeking every night.

Oh young one,
not every night is the Night of Power
And  yet,
not every night
is bereft of the Night of Power





Here is the grace of God.

    hidden in plain sight.


We find God.

    whenever we seek.

God says through Muhammad:

“Seek Me….

    Find Me.”


It is the seeking

that makes every night

Night of Power.

We stand knee deep in the ocean

    lips on the waves

        Dying of thirst.
