			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Friends, sacrifice yourself for Allah.  Whoever sacrifices himself for the Master of the Universe, Allah grants him the pleasure and delight of all the women of the world, the taste of all the sweetmeats of this world and the pleasure of all the biryani and kababs of the universe in His name.  <strong>The capsule of all the pleasures of this world is in the name of Allah.</strong></p>
<p>If He had no taste, how could He have created taste in these things?  If Allah had no delight, how could He have created taste in kababs and chickens and how could He have juice in sugar cane?  If He has no juice, how can He create juice in sugar cane which provides sugar for the whole world?</p>
<p>Moulana Jalalud-deen Rûmi (Rahimahullah) says,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;O heart, is sugar sweeter or the Creator of sugar?&#8221;  Is the moon more handsome or the Creator of the moon?</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Where are going after leaving Allah?  The consequence of all those involved in romance is the organs of urine and faeces.  Thousands of people have lost their honour there.</p>

By casting glances he attains nothing other than restlessness in his heart.
