Sunday spiritual sharing circle




We invite you to join us in a spiritual sharing circle co-sponsored by the Columbus Sufi Circle and Muslims for Progressive Values on Sunday afternoons at Zawiyya al Mu'min, 1000 Urlin Ave, Apt. 1507, 5:00 to about 7:00. 

Share with us a meditation, a reading, a poem, a song, a dance, inspiration, or simply the gift of your presence.

  We will begin with the Invocation of Hazrat Inayat Khan:
Toward the One,
the Perfection of Love, Harmony and Beauty,
the Only Being,
United with All the Illuminated Souls,
Who form the Embodiment of the Master,
the Spirit of Guidance

Then we'll close with the healing prayer Nayaz:
Beloved Lord, Almighty God,
Through the rays of the Sun,
Through the waves of the Air,
Through the all-pervading Life in space,
Purify and revivify me, and I pray,
Heal my body, heart and soul.
Amin

The world is filled with Light, Zikr Allah 7:30 pm Zawiyya al Mu'min



O Sun, fill our house once more with light!
Make happy all your friends and blind your foes!
Rise from behind the hill, transform the stones
To rubies and the sour grapes to wine!
O Sun, make our vineyard fresh again,
And fill the steppes with houris and green cloaks!
Physician of the lovers, heaven's lamp!
Rescue the lovers! Help the suffering!
Show but your face - the world is filled with light!
But if you cover it, it's the darkest night!

-- Ghazal (Ode) 1960
Translation by Annemarie Schimmel
"Look! This is Love - Poems of Rumi"
