The questioner : Reciting a poem on the creed of the people of the Sunnah.
"My brother in creed and thought *** My brother in the clear path of the Sunnah
The path of the Companions and their followers *** And whoever has attained excellence and high ambition
I sacrifice myself for you as you bear its burdens *** I sacrifice myself for you as you eradicate religious innovation
And you repair in the people what they have corrupted *** And you revive the dead of the religion
So your methodology is the greatest of methodologies *** And your party is the most honorable of factions
For you are the light in its corners *** For Allah has singled you out for the call
You defend the religion against its enemies *** And you uproot shirk (associating partners with Allah) in the nation
You exonerate the Lord of the heavens, for He has *** No partner in weakness or humiliation
To Him belongs every attribute that befits Him *** From the Face, the Eye, and the rising above the Throne
The attributes of the Divine as revealed *** Have dispelled the darkness that was
So creation does not hinder His command *** Nor do they escape from the grip
And all are submissive to Him by force *** The All-Powerful who is unique in power
And all acts of worship are true for Him *** And whoever deviates plunges into the abyss
My brother, you Salafi who *** Encounters hardship and rejection
I sacrifice myself for you, the steadfast and patient *** And one like you is patient in the trial
You were patient with the treachery of their treacherousness *** And you met what was there with a smile
You mocked the harm they plotted *** And you were at war in life and sustenance
So their steel did not soften in you *** And hardship did not affect your ambition
You stood alone, but He *** Your Lord supports you in solitude
It is Allah who supports His supporters *** So your resolve is from the One of resolve
My Lord will open the way, so do not despair *** Be patient, for victory is not by speed
For you are the guide to our nation *** And its captain, the leader of the ship
So if you are few among them *** Victory is not achieved by numbers
For Allah supported our predecessors *** Despite the smallness of their army and equipment
It is victory that the Lord of the heavens gives *** To whom He wills, and Allah is the Owner of might
And if you die in it a martyr, you will succeed *** And your Lord will settle you in Paradise
They think they have submitted outwardly *** And performed their obligations in rarity
Their creeds were... *** And their morals were the height of harshness
So the wealthy is not merciful or compassionate *** Nor does the strong spare the weak
Nor does the neighbor protect his neighbors *** Nor does the one with power support the truth
Nor does the one with knowledge live by it *** And the pursuit of learning is by example
How many innovations they have beautified and flourished *** Among the people through ignorance and heedlessness
And through revelation, how many worshippers they have misled *** And they sold the Shari'ah for youth
If their scholar is ignorant *** How is the one who follows without knowledge
Your compassion, my Lord, be gentle with us *** For you are the Gentle and the Owner of wisdom
My brother, you are alone in a nation *** That has abandoned the religion in general
It is upon you, my brother, to restore to them *** The purity of creed and thought
And to save the people from their shirk (associating partners with Allah) *** From vows to the grave and the dead
And to turn the people away from their oaths *** By a noble person and by the covenant
And from calling out "O Abu Qasim, save us" *** And invoking him in distress
And from writing veils or calling *** The secrets of the unseen by the star
And from seeking aid from their poles *** And from tying themselves to the chamber
And from their visitors rubbing themselves *** On the grave and tying...
And from the people following their sheikhs *** Without evidence or proof
And from the people taking their rulings *** Without a Book or Sunnah
And from judging without referring *** To what Allah has revealed of wisdom
My brother, you bear what you cannot bear *** The mountains from the burden
So rejoice, brother of the religion, do not despair *** I sacrifice myself for you with soul and spirit
And the God of the heavens will not abandon *** The religion, so rejoice, my brothers"
