RABIA OF BASRA

Samme said Jan 22, 5:50 AM:
 

Rabia of Basra (c. 717-801) is without doubt the most popular and influential of female Islamic saints and a central figure in the Sufi tradition.  She was born nearly five hundred years before Rumi, and although it is rarely said, she, perhaps more than any other poet, influenced his writings.

Below are samples of Rabia’s poetry from the book Love Poems From God by Daniel Ladinsky.

OUR BEAUTY

Live with dignity, women, live

THE PERFECT STILLNESS

Love is
the perfect stillness
and the greatest excitement, and
most profound act,
and the world almost as
complete
as His name.

THE WAY IT GOES

Why think God has not touched
everything
that comes to your
desk?

True, He may have kept the best
for Himself.

That is just the
way it
goes.
