Al Sufian

1	O you who believe! Let it be said: Ar-Rasid;
2	The Guide to the Right Path;
3	And the sixty-ninth name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing.
4	The most sacred place in Islam is the home;
5	The community rests upon the sacredness and dominion of the home.
6	The second most sacred place is the academy.
7	The place of learning and speaking the truths of Allah.
8	Allah demands that every place of an academy be sacred,
9	That no fighting nor blood be spilled upon its grounds,
10	Nor any student be hindered or injured,
11	That all children and all boys and girls are welcomed.
12	The third most sacred place is the therapeutic gardens,
13	The place of healing and of therapeutic arts.
14	Where a true Muslim visits the sick and the elderly.
15	Any man who defiles such a sacred place disgraces all of Islam,
16	And turns his back on Allah as the worst abaser.
17	The fourth most sacred place is the fields and the markets,
18	Where talents and gifts of Allah are put to good use,
19	And the future prosperity of the town and city are founded.
20	Finally, the most sacred place is a temple or place of worship.
21	Allah always puts such dedicated places as the least sacred of all places.
22	It is because a true Muslim makes sacred the soil beneath his feet,
23	By kind and sacred acts in honor of Allah,
24	In obeying and rejoicing in the Way of Islam,
25	In giving thanks for all that he does and receives.
26	Thus, sacred places are filled by the sacredness of right action and right mind,
27	Not the sands of time or memory.
