'Love Is My Religion' a Poem by Ibn Arabi



The following universally known and recited Sufi poem of the great 13th century Spanish-born Sufi master, Ibn Arabi is one of the quintessential doctrines of Sufism:  Unity of Religious Ideals. Ibn Arabi once again reiterates the profound Sufi belief that regardless of race, religion, or nationality, we are all one.

Love is My Religion
By Ibn Arabi

"My heart has become capable of all forms:
A pasture for the gazelles,
A Temple for the Idols, the Pilgrim�s Kaaba,
The Tablets of the Torah and the Book of the Quran.
I profess the religion of love,
and whatever direction and route it takes,
Love is my religion and my faith."




"Mi coraz�n se ha vuelto capaz de acoger todas las formas,
es pradera para las gacelas, monasterio para monjes.
Templo para Idolos y Kaaba del peregrino,
Tablas de la Tor�h y Libro del Cor�n.
La religi�n que profeso es la del Amor
y sea cual sea el rumbo que tome,
su montura, el Amor es mi religi�n y mi fe."





"Mon c�ur peut d�sormais prendre toute forme
Prairie pour les gazelles, couvent pour les moines
Temple pour les id�les, Ka�ba pour les p�lerins
Tables de la Torah, livre du Coran
J'adh�re � la religion d'Amour, l� o� s'orientent ses montures
L'Amour est ma religion et ma foi."

Rumi and Shakespeare

By Wes Jamroz, excerpts from his new book, Shakespeare's Sequel to Rumi's Teaching "Jalaluddin Rumi and William Shakespeare are considered to be the greatest poets of Persian and English literature, respectively. However, there is much more in common between these two titans of poetry who lived some 350 years and 2,000 miles apart. In his Sonnets, Shakespeare acknowledged that his writings were inspired by Rumi�s poetry. He referred to Rumi as one of �Alien pens� whom he was asked to study. He described Rumi as �He of tall building, and of goodly pride�. Shakespeare admitted that Rumi�s verses were so powerful that they were stopping his thoughts before he was able to formulate them. Although Shakespeare was strongly influenced by Rumi�s poetry, it should be emphasized that his writings were not merely some adaptations of Rumi�s illustrations from an Eastern environment into the Western culture. Such understanding would greatly diminish Shakespeare�s role. Shakespeare wa...
