Journeying through the
delights of Turkey – Part One
By Hawa Patel
Landing on the soil of Love at the Atarturk airport in Istanbul, you can feel the blessed land that had the
footsteps of the companions of the Prophet (saw) threaded upon. Tales of the love of Sayyidina Abu Ayub
Ansari for the Prophet (saw) and stories of such love travel through Konya of Moulana Rumi’s spiritual
intoxication for Allah that excited my visit to this beautiful land.
