By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
Surah-yi Yunus says: "And Allah invites to the Abode of Peace (daru's-salam), and He guides whomsoever He wills to a straight path." (10:25).
Inna'llaha jamilun yuhibbu'l-jamal = Indeed God is beautiful and loves beauty. (Hadith).
God is the beauty and elegance of inner light, as well as the invitation to theophanies and the attraction of the luminous straight path (nurani sirat-i mustaqim) for [His] lovers. One of His blessed names is al-Salam, thus He Himself in His essence is that eternal house in which there is but peace (salamati). Thus this blessed verse contains many allusions for a person who recognises God or is His lover. Reflect on it!
Anchih khuban hamah darand tu tanha dari, i.e., All the manifestations of beautiful persons of both the worlds are nothing in comparison to you.
