Inayat Khan singing Allahu Akbar
Inayat Khan singing Surat Mullar (available on CD, see below)
Translation of Surat Mullar by Harunnisa Khanim Maula Bakhsh:
Without the name of Rama no comfort can come. Without a guru, no wisdom can be attained.
Whoever pays full attention to the guru, is always blessed with the darshan of God, Who draws
all unto Himself.
That one who opens the door of his heart, he is the one who attains the darshan of Rama. Never
leave the repetition of Rama's name. Without mentioning the name, remembrance is not kept up.
The need for remembrance lies upon everybody; therefore, hold on to this attention every day.
