'Every lover is shaken at the mention (dhikr) of his beloved...and if love crept through the marrow of your bones , you would long to hear the mention of God , even from an infidel , and you would say , as the Sultan of Lovers said :
"Mention of her is sweeter to me than all words else,
Even when alloyed by my censurers with their blame of me " '
Words of Sheikh Ahmad Al-Alawi [May Allah have mercy on him] from "A Sufi Saint of the Twentieth Century".
