The Essence of Islam – Volume I — Page 332
332 Essence of Islam-1 He plainly showed the power of the One, All-Powerful God. Lest the idols, their makers, and worshippers Should remain ignorant of the power of God. He loves truth, straightforwardness and uprightness; He is the enemy of falsehood and evil. He is the master, yet he is a servant to the helpless; He is the king, yet he is like a servitor to the weak. The compassion that the world received from him, None has ever experienced even from a mother. He is intoxicated with the wine of the Beloved's love; For His sake, he is so prostrate and humble. His light reached out to every people, And lit up every country. For everyone with insight, he is the sign of the Gracious God; He is the proof of God for all who have eyes to see. Out of compassion, he is the help of the helpless; With his loving kindness, he shares the grief of the grief-stricken. His countenance exceeds the sun and the moon in beauty; The dust of his threshold is more fragrant than musk and ambergris. How can the sun and the moon be like him? In his heart shine hundreds of suns of divine light. A single look at the beautiful one Is better than eternal life. I who am so well aware of his beauty, Will give my very life, while others offer their hearts.
