O you,
young man! As follows is the Sunnî Creed,
Written in verse and expressed in clear diction:
If you want
a correct belief, o my brother,
Read this book day’n night with devout attention!
May Haqq
bless Abû Hanîfa’s soul with compassion,
For he’s guided us to Qur’ân’s way of salvation!
Man can create
none, do not believe the Shiite!
Worse for the Wahhâbî; hold the Sunnî profession!
Paradise’n
Hell are now, tawba is possible,
The sinful will be saved by way of intercession.
Do not
attach thyself to the world, life’s but a fast stream;
Happiness forever is in Islam’s instruction.
First learn
the ’ilm al-hâl, and teach your child;
Otherwise, insufferable will be your frustration!
Look’n see
how slyly the enemies strive;
Lose no time in working for Islam’s promulgation!
Communists
deceive the youth with lies to destroy Islam;
Wake up, O young man, rid thyself of that inaction!
The Muslims
also are mostly ensnared by heresies;
Off the right path, qibla as is their direction.
Without
learning the ’ilm al-hâl, one cannot be immune.
Non-Sunnî is in unbelief or aberration!
Help the
people who spread the correct knowledge!
Be blessed with Jihâd at the cost of thine possession!
Did Rasûlullah ever pause, or
did his Sahâba sleep?
Each of them was a hero in Islam’s expansion!
You, too,
should work hard, for hard the enemies work;
To ruin Islam they attack from every direction.
Do not
malign the Sahâba, appreciate them all!
Qur’ân witnesses to their common affection!
Abû Bakr
the highest, then come ’Umar; ’Uthmân; Alî;
Love Mu’âwiya, too; he wrote the Qur’ân’s version!
Our Rabb is
not material; He’s free from time’n place;
He is in no substance, should be Muslim’s conviction!
He neither
needs creatures, nor has a likeness;
He creates all, and sustains all creation.
Good, bad;
belief, disbelief; matter, power, energy; He makes all;
Far beyond man is the business of creation!
Everyone He’s
given will’n wisdom, and guidance as well.
Any good wished will attain Rahmân’s[1] creation.
First put your
belief right, and observe the injunctions;
Whoever leaves Islam never attains salvation!
It’s ever the
rule: You reap what you sow;
To count on the wheat unsowed brings frustration!
Out of
seventy-three groups, Sunnîs, alone, head for salvation;
It is them who showed us Rasûlullah’s direction!
