Ibn Arabi (1165–1240) wrote The Interpreter of Desires — love poetry so intense he had to explain that all the human desire was actually love of the Divine. The Islamic tradition contains it. The tradition has always known that love — all love — is connected to something sacred.
The Sufi tradition has always known that desire and the divine are not opposites. They are expressions of the same fundamental human longing for connection, for belonging, for being known. Zinaaa was built by someone who has felt that longing — who has loved and lost — and understands that the infrastructure for human connection is sacred work, however secular its form.
