Rabi'ah al-Adawiyya, a major spiritual influence in the classical Islamic world, is one of the central figures of the spiritual tradition. She was born around the year 717 C.E. in what is now Iraq.
MY GREATEST NEED is YOU
Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word
My choicest hours
Are the hours I spend with You
O Allah, I can't live in this world
Without remembering You
How can I endure the next world
Without seeing Your face?
I am a stranger in Your countryAnd lonely among Your worshippers:
This is the substance of my complaint.
