"Those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allâh, truly, in the remembrance of Allâh do hearts find rest. "
(Quran 13:28)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If your thought is frozen, practice remembrance of God.
Recollection of God brings thought into movement:
make remembrance the sun for this congealed thought.

In qadar goftim bâqi fekr kon
fekr agar jâmed bovad raw zekr kon
Zekr ârad fekr-râ dar ehtezâz
zekr-râ khvorshid-e in afsordeh sâz
