ريض يالطارش Raith yattarish an Imarati nasheed

Mishary Al-Afasy ريض يالطارش Raith yattarish an Imarati nasheed

(with Eng Sub.)

Wait, O weary courier, pen a salute on a letter

Even if the darkness followed you,

you have to accomplish your mission

And if they (The ones we sent the letter to) enquired after us,

thank them and tell them:

they are the way you remember

Your defendant is absent,

and the verdict is impermissible in absence

A person must deliberate, and judge fairly

Don't mistake us to be the source of this injustice,

it's justice we give and take

Do us a favor (O courier)

and carry to them our salute and greetings

Tell them the restless sorrowful

is spending the nights raving about them

Thoughts and suspicions are playing us

A sorrow we hide in the heart

fearing some people will disgrace us

Tell that the One we thank the most (Allah)

knows all that is public or secret

He (Allah) knows what you are

but He (Allah) tests his servant with ordeals

Whoever wants his final destination to be the heaven,

he wouldn't accept a poor spirit

For some, dreams are all what they do,

and for others they make their dreams come true

And the one who says: Lord, I have faith!,

will never bare despair and suspicion

This one becomes stronger with Qur'an and Sunnah,

and when The Caller Calls (Allah) he responds

O courier when you meet them, tell them:

we still remember our promise and we will fulfill it

A STORY OF AN IMAAM

From my mail box..

Several years ago an Imaam moved to London. He often took the bus from his home to the downtown area. Some weeks after he arrived, he had the occasion to ride the same bus. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him twenty pence too much change.

As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, you better give the twenty pence back. It would be wrong to keep it.

Then he thought, oh forget it, it's only twenty pence. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company already gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from Almighty Allah and keep quite.

When his stop came, the Imaam paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the twenty pence back to the driver and said "Here, you gave me too much change."

The driver with a smile replied "Aren't you the new Imaam in this area? I have been thinking lately about going to worship at your mosque. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change."

When the Imaam stepped off the bus, his knees became weak and soft. He had to grab the nearest light pole and held for support, and looked up to the heavens and cried,

"Oh Allah, I almost sold Islam for twenty pence!"

We may never see the impact our actions have on people.
