Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The MesnevĪ (usually Known As the MesnevĪyi SherĪf, Or Holy MesnevĪ) V. Kalīl’ and Dimna's book relates a charming tale, 1 From which males may a moral draw;-and eke, female. Within a shelter’d vale, four-footed game in droves, Were kept in tremor by a lion from its groves. So frequently had he borne victims off from thence, The vale a prison had become in every sense.

A consultation held, they fair proposals state, To satisfy the lion's hunger by a rate; But on condition that he rapine lay aside, And not prolong disquiet in that valley wide. 5 The lion gave consent, if they'd perform their part; Remarking: "I've a victim been to wily art. Man persecutes me with his deadly stratagems; The snake and scorpion sting me;-rancour's true emblems. But worse than any man, in venom and in spleen, The fleshly lust within me traitor's always been. But I've grown wary.

Has not Ahmed said: 'Rely! Believers are not twice caught by the self-same lie?'" 2 Their answer was: "O most sagacious, knowing guide, Thy caution pray dismiss; decree of God abide. 10 Suspicion, caution, ever is corroding ill. Put trust in Providence; and God thy maw will fill. Strive not with Providence, however strong thou be; Lest Providence should take offence, and war with thee." He answered them: "Sure! Sure! Trust Providence we must.

📌His prophets in the Lord have always placed their trust. To trust in God, and yet put forth our utmost skill, The surest method is, to work His holy will. The Prophet plainly said to his disciple train: 15 'Put trust in God, and bind thy camel's shank amain?' 1 Remember the old saw: 'The friend of God must work.' 2 Through trust in God, neglect not ways and means, O clerk." Abashed they were not; answer thus they promptly made: "To gain aught from the poor is fraud; a trick of trade.

There is no gain so good as trust placed in the Lord. What more praiseworthy than to build upon His word? How many flee this danger, falling into that! From fryingpan leaps one, to light in fire right pat. 3 Man plans a stratagem; in it is caught himself. 20 That which he took for health, he finds is death itself. He locks his door when treason's lurking in his house. So Pharaoh deemed he'd danger shun ere it should rouse.

How many thousand infants did he doom to death; While Moses, whom he feared, his own roof was beneath. Our eyes afflicted are with various kinds of ills. Then go and make them blind, by seeing God ’tis wills.
