"Those who rest not their hopes on their meeting with Us and are pleased and satisfied with the life of this world are those who heed not Our Signs." (Qur'an 10:7).

Once in a flower garden in Iran, a thoughtful poet perceived that a friend of his was exceedingly preoccupied with a bunch of flowers and had no time to look at anything else. The poet asked him what it was that captivated him so much in these flowers which were sure to fade before sunset. His friend replied by asking him what could possibly replace the beauty of flowers. The poet said, for people like you who are attracted to the beauty of flowers whose life-span is at most five or six days, I will write a book called the Gulistan (garden of flowers) which will last indefinitely.

The name of the poet was Shaykh Muslihuddin Sa'di and he was born in Persia in the year of 1184 AD. His father Abdullah was a descendent of Sayyadina Ali RA and was nobleman in the service of the court of Ata Beg Tughal. Sa'di lost his parents early in his life and so he fell into poverty. His elder brother somehow managed to keep the family by owning a fruit shop.

Sa'di's life consisted of three periods. Until 1226 he was busy with his studies. From 1226 to 1256, he spent his life as a traveller in different countries of the world. And the last part from 1256 - 1291 he spent in Shiraz writing, contemplating and admonishing people as a Sufi. In those days, Shiraz was a great centre of learning and Sa'di was admitted into a big madrasa there where he received his primary education. Then he left for higher education in the famous Nizamiyya Madrasa of Baghdad. He studied philosophy and science under the able guidance of Farah Ibn al-Jawahir. Then he studied logic, history, geography, philosophy, tafsir, hadith, fiqh, etc. He was very religious from his boyhood and he was a strict follower of the Shari'a. While in Bahdad he received extensive instruction in tasawwuf (sufism) from several Sufis that he came in contact with and became a follower of the famous Sufi Shaykh Shihabu'd-din as-Suhrawardi (died 1234) whose influence and association had a great impact oh him. Sa'di was a master of several languages but he wrote only in his mother tongue, Persian, and occasionally in Arabic. read more
