Kizilbash - What is your religion?


Kizilbash – for the love of the living Imam :

What is your religion?

"But what is your religion?" the young lady asked. Kizilbash didn't know exactly what to say. He paused for a moment, then the answer came, "If you ask my skin, 'What is your religion?' it will reply, 'I am Sunni,' because there is no inward without an outward. But if you ask my inner parts, they will say, 'We are Shia,' because there is no outward without an inward. My heart, the storehouse of the secret of secrets, proudly says, 'I am Alawi,' for blasphemy is the passport of the Lovers. If you ask my eyes, they will say, 'The right of us is Jewish and the left of us is Christian,' because one sees no life without law and the other sees no law without spirit. My hands are Hindu, because there is no belief without action and no action without reaction, and my ears are Buddhist, for they hear the voice of God in silence. My feet are atheist, for the dust of the earth knows nothing of God."
