By AbdurRahman Mirza

I keep hearing stories of the men of aqeedah,
The ones with manners, who even give naseehah,
They are found rarely in this world, scholars of high caliber,
They know so much but are humble, we need to heed this parable
Why do people criticize so much those who have the right belief,
They say “look at those high pants, big beards but a sharp mouth with the teeth”
I wonder if we will ever actually follow the people whose history we claim,
Not only in belief but in how we treat others, in our most inner strains,
The heart is a heavy thing, that’s why the pious ones treat it well,
Other people talk more theory while sins make their hearts swell,

Mercy, justice and a balance of patience in the moving organ,
Blood pumping hard to your brain due to modesty being unbroken,
Having imaan in Allah reflects all these qualities,
For one man to have taqwaa and as-sidq, it’s a novelty.

As Shaikh said, manners are a reflection of your belief,
They make you stand up at night while other people sleep,
They widen your outlook in life, you have an advantage over others,
But we will lose this advantage if we can’t properly treat our mothers,

They say this class was a paradigm, a proper way of thinking,
It removed us from what culture taught us along with our minds shrinking,
From the qualities of disbelief, ungratefulness and improper rations,
May Allah raise us in akhlaaq and widen our imaan station….
