by

It is reported from the famous worshiper Rabi’ah al-Adawiyya (radiAllahu anha) that she said: I have never heard the adhaan except that I remember the caller who will announce the Day of Resurrection, and I never see the falling snow except that I imagine the flying pages of the records of peoples deeds (on that day), and I never see swarms of locusts except that I think about the Great Gathering on the Last Day.
Rabia Basri

Two Soviets . .

Two Soviets . . . were talking to each other. And one of them asked, What’s the difference between the Soviet Constitution and the United States Constitution? And the other one said, That’s easy. The Soviet Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of gathering. The American Constitution guarantees freedom after speech and freedom after gathering.

This is a gathering

This is a gathering of Lovers.
In this gathering
there is no high, no low,
no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly,
no grand discourse,
no proper schooling required.
There is no master,
no disciple.
This gathering is more like a drunken party,
full of tricksters, fools,
mad men and mad women.
This is a gathering of Lovers.
Rumi
