Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: “And know the two garments that one wears, *** which bring about death through blame and humiliation
A garment of compounded ignorance, over which *** is a garment of fanaticism; how wretched are these two garments
And settle for fairness, the most noble of garments”.
The Shaykh : “Afkhara” is in the accusative case, meaning here that the most noble state is the state of being the most noble.
The reader: “And settle for fairness, the most noble of garments, *** with which you adorn the shoulders and the back
And make your banner the fear of the Most Merciful, along with *** sincere advice to the Messenger; how excellent are these two matters
And hold fast to His rope and His revelation, *** and rely truly upon the reality of reliance”.
A garment of compounded ignorance, over which *** is a garment of fanaticism; how wretched are these two garments
And settle for fairness, the most noble of garments”.
