Ar Rashid ( The Righteous Teacher )

The Righteous Teacher, He who is the guide, with wisdom, to the right path according to His eternal plan. 


We shall teach thee,
and thou wilt not forget aught of what thou art taught,
save what God may will thee to forget --
for verily, He alone knows all that is open to man's perception as well as all that is hidden from it --
and thus shall We make easy for thee
the path towards ultimate ease.
Al-A'la 87:7-8, tr. Asad
God turns you from one feeling to another
and teaches by means of opposites,
so that you will have two wings to fly,
not one.
Rumi, Mathnawi II:1552, 1554, tr. Helminski
