Al Sufian


iconSufa 49 - The Action (Al-Amil)

1O you who believe! Let it be said: Ar-Raqib;
2The Watchful;
3And the forty-third name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing.
4Every motion of wind, rain, sea and air;
5Every movement of the world and the heavens;
6Every action of every living creature;
7All motion is governed by the laws of the Universe;
8Which Allah created in mind.
9A true test of a man is not what he does in public,
10But what he does in private.
11Defeat is not the worst;
12The worst is cowardice to act against evil.
13Never judge the actions of a man until you know his reason.
14It isn’t what you have, but what you are, that makes a true Muslim.
15It is easy to destroy a city.
16But is takes a true Muslim to build a great community.
17Beware! Beware! Neither a curse, nor a strike in anger can be withdrawn.
18When preparing for battle, think with patience and act with haste.
19The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.
20All actions may be judged by the motive prompting them.
21A man without conscience is lost.
22To know what is right and to fail to act,
23Is as grave as a false action.
24When a man is at peace with his conscience, he has no real enemy.
25A person who relieves a person from distress in this world,
26Allah will in like manner relieve him in the next.
27He who shall do good to those in need,
28Allah will do good to him in this world and the next.
29Be persistent in good actions.
30It is your own conduct which will lead you to reward or punishment.
