Beautiful poem

Posted in Poetry by haruni on the June 27, 2009

قال القاضي عبد الوهاب المالكي
Qādhi ‘Abd’l-Wahhāb al-Māliki said:

 

 

ونائمةٍ قبَّلتها فتنبَّهَتْ … وقالَتْ تعالَوْا فاطلُبُوا اللِّصَّ بالحدِّ


She was asleep. I kissed her. She awoke.
She shouted, “Help! Establish the law against this thief!”



فقلتُ لها إنِّي فَدَيتكِ غاصبٌ … وما حكمُوا في غاصبٍ بسوَى الرَّدِّ


So I said to her, “But I sacrificed myself for you! I took it by force I admit!
But they didn’t rule on the Usurper other than it is to be given back!



خُذيها وكُفِّي عنْ أَثيمٍ ظلامة … وإن أَنتِ لم ترضَيْ فأَلف على عدِّ


Take it and stop punishing this oppressive soul!
If that doesn’t satisfy you, then take a thousand instead!



فقالتْ قصاصٌ يشهدُ العقلُ أَنَّه … على كبدِ الجاني أَلذُّ من الشَّهْدِ


She said, “This kind of punishment, everyone bears witness no doubt
That it is sweeter for the Criminal than honey itself!



فباتَتْ يَميني وهي هميانُ خصرها … وباتَتْ يَساري وهي واسطَةُ العقدِ


So my right hand spent the night and it was her belt.
And my left hand spent the night and it was her necklace.



فقالتْ أَلم أخْبَرْ بأَنَّكَ زاهدٌ … فقلتُ بلَى ما زلتُ أَزهدُ في الزُّهْدِ


She said, “Was I not told that you were a pious man?!”
So I said, “Indeed! I am still a pious man when it comes to piety!”

Four things responsible for causing islam to lose its brilliance

Posted in Narratives, Random thoughts, Stories full of hikma (wisdom) by haruni on the June 6, 2009

In his book “The Path of Muhammad” imam al-Birgivi – rahmatullahi aleyhi – said, quoting a certain Muhammad ibn al-Fadl:

“Four things are responsible for causing Islam to lose its brilliance:

1. Many Muslims do not live in accordance with what they know.

2. They live in accordance with what they do not know.

3. When they do not know the basis of their actions, they do not try to learn from those who know.

4. They prevent each other from knowing by distracting each other, either by attractive things or by things that are fearful.”

 

Subhanallah, this is so true. Islam lost its brilliance because of ignorance.
