| 1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Jammaal; |
| 2 | The Beauty; |
| 3 | And the sixty-first name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing. |
| 4 | The beauty of youth fades and corrupts. |
| 5 | But the beauty of a kind heart lasts for eternity. |
| 6 | A person who chooses to wear nothing but fine threads, never to feel rough weave against their skin, |
| 7 | Is not fit to be called a Muslim. |
| 8 | Verily, a man who is fond of having good clothes, and good shoes, |
| 9 | Makes no place in his heart but for himself. |
| 10 | Yet a man who chooses to wear nothing but rough weave when he has means to modesty, |
| 11 | Exhibits false piety. |
| 12 | Be careful against extreme. Instead, embrace modesty of appearance. |
| 13 | Upon betrothal and matrimony, is a cause of celebration and much color. |
| 14 | So be the nativity of a new born infant. |
| 15 | Foreign cloth deprives the village farmer and garment maker of a living. |
| 16 | Support then your craft and do not be beguiled by the merchants and their fine silks, |
| 17 | Nor be seduced by those who say that too much color is a transgression. |
