SICKNESS OF THE HEART

YOU BELIEVE IN ALLAH,
BUT YOU DO NOT FULFIL HIS COMMANDMENTS.

YOU BELIEVE IN ALLAH’S MESSENGERS,
BUT YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR GUIDANCE.

YOU ENJOY ALL THE BLESSINGS OF THE CREATOR,
BUT YOU ARE UNGRATEFUL TO HIM.

YOU BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING ON EARTH WILL PERISH,
BUT YOU DO NOT PREPARE FOR THAT EVENTUALITY
WHEN IT AFFECTS YOU.

YOU READ THE DIVINE SCRIPTURES,
BUT YOU DO NOT PUT THEM IN PRACTICE.

YOU WISH TO BE ADMITTED TO PARADISE,
BUT YOU DO NOT TRY TO OBTAIN THE KEY TO IT.

YOU HATE TO BE THROWN IN THE FIRE OF HELL,
BUT YOU DO NOT RUN AWAY FROM IT.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SATAN IS YOUR ENEMY,
BUT YOU DO NOT REJECT HIS BIDDING.

YOU FIND FAULT WITH OTHER PEOPLE,
BUT YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE YOU OWN FAULTS.

YOU BURY THE DEAD,
BUT YOU DO NOT TAKE A LESSON FROM THEIR DEATH.

Shookran and As Salamu Alaika Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh-

This excerpt, prose is like one of those paintings that you may come across that have eyes somewhere on them.  They constantly seem to follow you from anywhere in the room.


....there was a companion R.A.,who I am told never once looked into the face of the Rasool, SAWS....

That I could possess this mans fear of looking upon those so righteous... instead of counting myself as among them.

Regards,

Qamar Akbal Kaan
