Sufi jokes
(From Syed Ali Abbas Zaidi’s blog: the stories of Mullah Nasruddin)
- NASRUDDIN – Keeper of Faith. In Turkey, where some people allege Nasruddin is buried, there are HUGE locked gates at his grave site. Yet his headstone reads – “Sometimes you do not need a key to get through gates. All you need to do is walk around them as there are no walls.”
- More Useful. One day mullah nasruddin entered his favorite teahouse and said: ‘The moon is more useful than the sun’. An old man asked ‘Why mullah?’ Nasruddin replied ‘We need the light more during the night than during the day.’
- Promises Kept. A friend asked the mullah “How old are you?” “Forty replied the mullah.” The friend said but you said the same thing two years ago!” “Yes” replied the mullah, “I always stand by what I have said.”
