Demonstrating brotherly ties by embracing and simultaneously kissing each others hands is an expression of mutual love and respect . “Salam aleikum,”(Peace be upon you) an Islamic expression, use to express greeting, usually follows this beautiful gesture. Hand-kissing is a gesture indicating courtesy, politeness, respect, admiration or even devotion by one person toward another. The two men in this Brotherly Greeting represent students of two different Sufi orders, perhaps the Darqawi and the Mevlevi orders, coming together and honoring each other with this beautiful embrace.

Rumi Quote

Rule 21 When a true lover of God goes into a tavern, the tavern becomes his chamber of prayer, but when a wine bibber goes into the same chamber, it becomes his tavern. In everything we do, it is our hearts that make the difference, not our outer appearance. Sufis do not judge other people on how they look or who they are. When a Sufi stares at someone, he keeps both eyes closed instead opens a third eye – the eye that sees the inner realm.
