A Spiritual Note

Edition 21 - November 11, 2005 - Shawwal 8, 1426


As-salaamu 'alaikum (Peace be upon you).

Our Spiritual Note for this week contains a quotation about a mighty achievement.

A Mighty Achievement

"Our Lord, grant us in our wives and our offspring the joy of our eyes, and make us leaders for those who guard against evil" (Qur'an 25:75).

"To learn, teach and preach is easy. To translate these teachings into action in ones own life is hard. But to influence the lives of others and to succeed in moulding the lives of those who come in contact with one’s life is the hardest and the most difficult of all; and indeed this is a mighty achievement."

[Dr. S.M. Abdullah, Imam of the Shah Jehan Mosque, Woking in tribute to Maulana Aftab-ud-Din Ahmad in The Light, 16 February 1956.]

Een geweldige prestatie

"Onze Heer, schenk ons in onze echtgenotes en ons nageslacht de vreugde van onze ogen, en maak ons tot leiders voor degenen die zich hoeden voor het kwaad" (Koran 25:74).

"Het is makkelijk om te leren, te onderwijzen en te preken, maar het is moeilijk om deze leerstellingen in uw eigen leven in praktijk te brengen. Maar het beïnvloeden van het leven van anderen door uw eigen handelen, en zodoende vorm geven aan hun leven, is het moeilijkst van alles, en dit is inderdaad een geweldige prestatie."

[Dr. S.M. Abdullah, Imam van de Shah Jeham moskee, Woking, als huldeblijk aan maulana Aftab-ud-Din Ahmad in The Light, 16 februari 1956.]
