SIRRUL-KHILAFAH-THE REALITY OF KHILAFAH 114 وَمِنْ مِّحَنٍ كَانَتْ كَصَخْرٍ مُّكَسِّرِ وَمِنْ فِتَنِ يُخْشَى عَلَى الدِّيْنِ شَرُّهَا And from every tribulation whose evil could harm the Faith; And from trials which are so majestic like strong rocks. وَلَوْ كَان هَذَا الرَّجُلُ رَجُلًا مُنَافِقًا فَمَنْ لِلنَّبِيِّ الْمُصْطَفَى مِنْ مُعَزِّرِ If this man was a hypocrite, Then who was the helper of the Chosen Prophet? أَتَحْسَبُ صِدِّيقَ الْمُهَيْمِنِ كَافِرًا لِقَوْلِ غَرِيقٍ فِي الضَّلَالَةِ أَكْفَرِ Do you consider God's Truthful One [Abū Bakr] to be an infidel Because of the words of someone drowning in misguidance? وَهِمَّتُهُ صَوَّالَةٌ كَالْغَضَنْفَرِ وَكَانَ كَقَلْبِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ جَنَانُهُ His heart was like the hearts of the Prophets, And his mettle was solid like the fortitude of a lion. وَجَلْوَاتِهِ كَأَنَّهُ قِطْعُ نَيْرِ أَرَى نُوْرَ وَجْهِ اللَّهِ فِي عَادَاتِهِ I see the light of Allah's countenance in his character, As if he is a fragment of a shining star. وَإِنَّ لَهُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْقُدْسِ دَرَجَةً فَوَيْلٌ لِّأَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ كَخَنْجَرِ He wields a lofty rank with Allah the Almighty- Woe be unto those with tongues as sharp as daggers! وَخِدْمَاتُهُ مِثْلَ الْبُدُورِ مُنِيرَةٌ وَثَمَرَاتُهُ مِثْلَ الْجَنَا الْمُسْتَكْثَرِ His services are like the illuminating moon, And his fruits are so abundant.
