In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
Praise is to Him who guided the believers to the truth.
And may His blessings and salutations be upon Mohammad SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.

Five takes from where ‘base’ is while here in Melbourne. The amazing changes present a stark reminder of the constancy of change and the core of ‘Nothingness’.
What Remains After Nothing
Love is the flame which, when it blazes,
consumes everything other than the Beloved.
The lover weilds the sword of Nothingness*
in order to dispatch all but God:
consider what remains after Nothing.
There remains but God: all rest is gone.
Praise to you, O mighty Love, destroyer of all other "gods."
Rumi
Mathnawi V, 588-590

Insha’Allah more to come about the building on the far right when next I have access to the net.
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
As-salaamu’alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu my dearest sister,
Ameen.
Look forward to reading more, insha’Allah.
Wa’alaykum as-salaam
Love Farhana
