Islam, like all other major traditions, is interested in primarily one point: Knowledge of God. This piece ('Lovers' or 'Āsheqān), as well as the various other pieces from the Barakah album, were all authored by Knowers and Lovers of God. The words for this piece were taken from the 13th Century Saint and poet Mawlānā Jalālleddine Balkhi's (Or "Rumi") Dīvāne Shams and the music was composed over 250 years ago in the Khānghās of Kirkuk, IRAQ. It is through such sacred pieces (and other fields of sacred Islamic art) that we can be certain that extremists are a byproduct of modernism and antithetical to the true teachings of the Islamic tradition.
May we all strive to become Knowers and Lovers. With prayers. _sy.
