Rumi's words of wisdom

Assalamualaykum warahmatullah wabarakatu

I thought I'd share some words of advice with you that one of my friends(May Allah reward her well insha'Allah) quoted from Maulana Rumi rahimatullah alayh:

Sometimes in order to help He makes us cry.
Happy the eye that sheds tears for His sake.
Fortunate the heart that burns for His sake.
Laughter always follows tears.
Blessed are those who understand.
Life blossoms wherever water flows.
Where tears are shed divine mercy is shown

Please keep me in your duaas.

Wassalamualaykum warahmatullah.
