The Nalayn Necklace

Salām, welcome to you!

“Come, come, whoever you are;
wanderer, worshipper, lover of learning.
It does not matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, come, yet again come”

~ Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi ~ (رحمة الله عليه)

A piece dedicated to and inspired by the greatest man to ever walk the face of this earth. Every step they took their blessed sandals were kissed by the earth, and with their absence the trees would cry out from the pangs of separation. From their light the entire cosmos were illuminated and every wandering heart was guided.

When the moon set eyes upon them, it would come forth hiding itself out of awe that for the first time it had witnessed a light greater than its own. When they arrived at a distance of what The Quran describes as ‘two bows length’, they were instructed by Allah Almighty to leave on their blessed sandals (na’al) so that the arsh (throne) and the entire space inbetween could be blessed by those holy sandals.

They are the seal of all Prophets, the final emissary of Allah Almighty, The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Your entire life should be a reminder of the holy sandals of the Prophet ﷺ and we should look for any excuse to be reminded of those holy sandals that stood in the presence of Allah. It is not enough to just love, but to make everything around us a reminder of the One whom we love ﷺ.

When we wear the nalayn shareef, it is a representation of us putting our hand in the hand of the beloved of Allāh ﷺ, that are we striving to live in his way and die in his way. It is the crown upon our heads, the crown of the lovers that is only visible to those who carry that love.
