Precious Fruits
Oh, By God, if People Knew
Oh, by God, if people knew why they were created, they would not be heedless and sleep.
They were created for a day that if the eyes of their hearts saw it, they would wander and be infatuated.
Death, then resurrection, then dissemination, then rebuke and great horrors.
For the Day of Resurrection, some people have acted, so they prayed and fasted out of fear of it.
And we, when we are commanded or forbidden, are like the people of the cave, awake yet asleep.
May God's prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his family and companions.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
