iconSufa 41 - The Wisdom (Al-Hakim)

1O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Hakim;
2The Wisdom;
3And the thirty-seventh name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing.
4Allah is the light I have attained,
5And in the light I live.
6To know that I do not know,
7And the wisdom of humility to avoid such displays of arrogance.
8To avoid preaching to the willingly ignorant,
9And those who do not want to listen;
10To avoid judging lest we be judged for our transgressions.
11It is not a sixth or a tenth of a man's devotion which is acceptable to Allah,
12But only such portions thereof as he offers with understanding and true devotional spirit.
13Verily, even if a man has performed many prayers, fasts, charity, pilgrimage and all other good works,
14He will not be rewarded except by the proportion of his understanding.
15Those that have attained the meaning of the greatest wisdom know that Allah Loves Life.
16When one has final understanding of self,
17A man may know that the most important things in life are values, family and community.
18Integrity needs no rules.
19The heart of a fool is his mouth;
20The mouth of a wise man is his heart.
21A wise man knows that he learns more from the unjust, the wicked and the cruel,
22Than those that never fail to honor Allah;
23For when confronted by evil, a wise man stands firm,
24And learns the power of his faith and integrity to overcome.
25Verily, Virtue means nothing if not tested.
