" "God commands us
to pray in the direction of the Ka‘ba
Imagine this:
People all over the world are gathered making a circle around the Ka‘ba
They bow down in prayer
Now
imagine:
Remove the Ka‘ba
from the middle of the circle
Are they not prostrating toward one another?
They are bowing down toward each other’s hearts

About Shams Tabrizi
Shams-e-Tabrīzī (or Shams al-Din Mohammad, literally: Sun of Islam; 1185–1248) was a Nizari Ismaili Iranian Sufi mystic, born in the city of Tabriz in Iranian Azerbaijan, who is credited as the spiritual instructor of Mewlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi and is referenced with great reverence in Rumi's poetic collection, in particular Diwan-i Shams-i Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz). Tradition holds that Shams taught Rumi in seclusion in Konya for a period of forty days, before fleeing for Damascus. The tomb of Shams-i Tabrīzī was recently nominated to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
