Wise words

O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allah purifies whom He wills, and Allah is Hearing and Knowing. ~ 24:21

313

This is the tale of men of unshakable faith and complete trust
Who will jump into a fire without batting a lash
Whose nights pass in tears, shaking like dry leaves in the autumn wind
Whose constant prostration has wrought a mark on their foreheads
Who serve mankind, to serve God
Whose tongues are unblemished by foul words
Who have fortified mind, body and soul against sin
Who walk amongst the crowds, yet are lonely
Whose hope, trust and reliance is only on One
Whose desires were prostrated and buried under “La Ilaha illallah”
Whose smiling countenances speak not of their broken hearts
Whose compassion to mankind, rekindles hope in souls
Who are always garrisoned against the open enemy
Who have lived, died and walk amongst the living
Who will only be complete when the cloudy veil will part
Stand up
Be counted
In the army of men of God
