Al-Khafid
The
Abaser
When
that which must come to pass at last comes to pass, there will
be nought that could give the lie to its having come to pass,
abasing some, exalting others.
Al-Waqi'ah
56:103, tr. Asad
God
has made reputation heavy as a thousand pounds of iron. So many
are bound in that unseen chain! Pride and lack of faith block
the doorway of repentance so that the one in separation can't
even utter a sigh.
God said, "We have put chains around their necks chin
high, and forced them to lift up their heads."
Those chains aren't put on us from outside.
Mathnawi
I:3240-3242, tr. Helminski |
