iconSufa 117 - The Truth (Al-Haqq)

1O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Haqq;
2The Truth, the Reality;
3And the eighty-fifth name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing.
4Set your goodness in the belly of men,
5Then You are greeted by all.
6One welcomes virtuous man.
7One spits upon the Persian assassin.
8Guard your tongue from harmful speech,
9Then You will be loved by others.
10You will find your place in Paradise.
11You will share in the prosperity of your Divine Creator.
12When You are revered and your coffin conceals You,
13You will be safe from the power of Allah.
14Do not shout accusations against a man,
15When the cause of his flight is unknown.
16Whether You hear something good or evil,
17Resolve the matter away from others, that no harm come from false accusation.
18Put the good remark on your tongue,
19While the bad is concealed in your belly.
20Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people,
21It is not worthy of a speaker of truth to curse people,
22Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.
23He is not of me who, when he speaks, speaks falsely;
24Who, when he promises, breaks his promises;
25And who, when trust is reposed in him, fails in his trust.
26No man is true in the truest sense of the word
27But he who is true in work, in deed, and in thought.
28Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.
29It is not worthy of a speaker of truth to curse people.
30Appropriate to yourselves the truth. Avoid lying.
31Say what is true,
32Although it may be bitter and displeasing to people.
