The Reality of Khilafah — Page 189
AL-QAŞİDAH مِنَ الْأَحَادِيثِ مَا يُغْنِي مِنَ الطَّلَبِ وَقَدْ أَتَتْ مِنْهُ فِي تَفْضِيْلِهِمْ تَتْرًا There are many ahādīth authenticated by the chain of narrators, Which speak of their superiority and answer all objections. فَإِنْ فَخَرْنَا فَمَا فِي الْفَخْرِ مِنْ كَذِبِ وَقَدْ أَنَارُوا كَمِثْلِ الشَّمْسِ إِيْمَانًا They were enlightened like the sun by their faith; If we are proud of them, this pride is justified and is no exaggeration. وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى صُحُفٍ وَّلَا كُتُبِ فَتَعْسًا لِّقَومٍ أَنْكَرُوْا شَانَ رُتْبِهِمْ Perdition is the lot of people who deny the status of these people And do not refer to the books and chronicles. وَلَا خَلَاصَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ أَمْنَعِ الْحُجُبِ وَلَا خُرُوجَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْرِ جَهْلَاتٍ There is no escape for them from the grave of foolishness; Nor can they get rid of the thick veil they are trapped behind. وَتَبْكِينْ يَوْمَ جِدِ الْبَيْنِ بِالْكُرَبِ وَالْيَومَ تَسْخَرُ بِالْأَحْبَابِ مِنْ قَوْمٍ Today you mock the people who have departed and are no longer with us; And yet you cry due to the distress which would not even exist if those people were still here! فَلَا الْمَرْءُ بَلْ ثَوْرُ بِلَا ذَنَبِ وَمَنْ يُؤْثِرَنْ ذَنْبًا وَلَمْ يَخْشَ رَبَّهُ He who prefers committing sins And does not fear Allah is not a human, but a bull without a tail. 189
