The Baseness of the Partners in Shirk, the Lack of Fidelity, and the Length of Their Neglect
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"O the baseness of the partners in shirk, with the lack of fidelity and the length of their neglect from abandonment"
Is her neglect with you? Do you have it with you, O Sulayman? Well, he says: How base are the partners in shirk if there is no fidelity and the neglect is prolonged with abandonment. If there is no fidelity and the neglect is prolonged with abandonment regarding the partners in shirk, then there is no doubt that they are partners who preferred the lower over the higher.
"Is there in you a lesson, so that a lover might be consoled by the fates of lovers in every age"
Meaning, is there anyone among you who takes a lesson from the lovers of this world, how they were overthrown and did not benefit from it in any way? The question here is for the sake of suspense. He said:
"But upon those eyes is a veil, and upon the hearts are the coverings of forgetfulness"
Meaning, abandonment. So the eyes do not see and the hearts do not remember. Upon the eyes is a veil and upon the hearts are the coverings of forgetfulness.
