iconSufa 105 - The Authority (Al-Ijazah)

1O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Ijazah;
2The Absolute, Final and Unquestionable Authority;
3The one from whom all covenants, edicts, actions and rights of use are derived;
4And the seventy-fifth name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing.
5As a man cannot claim to be the owner of his own land, home or animals but custodian;
6The highest form of right a man may be given is the right of Divine Use.
7These are the gifts that Allah has given to you of your flesh and your mind.
8It is why no man may claim another as slave, without declaring himself a heretic and a thief before the Divine Creator.
9As a man cannot claim to be the owner of the wisdom of Allah;
10The highest form of right a man may be given to the word of the Divine Creator is the right to teach the Way of Islam and protect these sacred words.
11Thus the most respect and highest authority in Islam is the teacher not the merchant or a king.
12Blessed are the teachers who honor these words and the law of Islam.
