Poetry: The Highest Example

The Highest Example

Truly the Faqih is a Faqih because of his actions
Not because of his articulated speech or saying
And likewise a leader is a leader because of his nature
Not because of his nation or his men
And likewise a rich man is a rich man due to his state
And not due to his possessions or wealth

Poetry of Imam Shafi' rahimahullah

And likewise an alim is an alim because of his actions
Not because of his articulated speech or saying
And likewise a taalib is a taalib because os his sacrifice
Not because of the many books in front of him
And likewise an aashiq e ilahi is an aashiq e ilahi because of his ishq
Not because of :)

ان الفقية هو الفقية بفعلة ليس الفقية ينطقة ومقالة
وكذا الرئيس هو الرئيس بخلقه ليس الرئيس بقومة ورجالة
وكذا الغنى هو الغنى بحالة ليس الغنى بملكة وبمالة
