786 George Floyd Circle. Thinking of the concept of St. George the Green One the Dragon Slayer aka Khidr. This whole area is charged with life force. his life was not in vain, say his name and make dua and do the work you can to uplift human dignity and honor. Allah knows the wisdom in these trials of life death and life again. Behind duality there is One Reality, May we find our way back. This man next to me (slide 2) is the maintainer of George Floyd’s place/maqam. There’s life force all around this place.

Allah is closer

Allah is closer than life or death
Allah is closer than every breath
Allah is closer than any one
Allah is closer than father or son
Allah closer than the blink of an eye
Allah is closer than desires or lies.
Allah is closer than what we chase
Allah is closer than delay or haste
Allah is closer, and closer than that
Allah is nearer than achievements and gaps.
Allah is found by calling Him Near
Allah is closer than anxiety and fear
Than disease or ease or wealth or not
Allah is closer than what we think we have got.
Allah is Allah there is None but His Essence
Allah is Present and the Presence in Presence
Will we discover how close Allah is?
The answer must Be.
He is who He is.
He is Being Closer than the consciousness within.
He is Being Closer than virtue or sin.
He is Being and The Being that is.
Name His Nearness let’s discover that Truth
Rule out distance and make Nearness your Root
Call Ya Qareeb in your language or not
Tell Him the Truth of His Nearness a lot!

786 My meditation mentor… and so much more. Encompassing friend of Allah and people. An ocean with no shore. Very human but also super, with tireless energy to serve. Feeding us by hand, changing human history, while calming our nerves. Teaching us Heavenly Realities, engraved in eternally in the soul. Mercy Oceans and Love, to encourage us to be come whole. We owe him so much , so we ask Allah to give. While his body is gone, we already dreamed he lives. So mourn the body, but keep heart for the spiritual eye. We know spirit lives, but the body must eventually die. Keep everything humble, let Allah exalt you High. That’s how Shaykh Hisham Lived and that’s the spirit in which he died. I witnessed the power of remembrance, as the Lowered him into the grave, I smelled the rosy musk of Medina which in this life he surely gave. The taste and Light of Muhammad, to spread in hearts and soulful skies. May Salawat be eternally upon Muhammad and his son (Hisham) through soul and blood ties. Muhammad Hisham Kabbani who gave from his blood and tears, who faced wahabi threats and boycott, with no sweat and absolutely no fears. Raising the mawlid high when others refused to see, who brought the shine of Islam, with Allah’s light at its peak. We ask for Eternal Blessings to be dressed upon your soul. In our weakness we take steps forward as Allah’s plans unfold.

Joy is like pure clear water; wherever it flows, wondrous blossoms grow.
Sorrow is like a black flood; wherever it flows it wilts the blossoms.
