Stand guard over your intentions, O servant of Allah,

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

Stand guard over your intentions, O servant of Allah,Your intentions come to life when spoken by your tongue.In the river of your words you will be a diver all your lifeAnd pass on. Man, without doubt, will be questioned about his words.Allah is al-Hakim; O friend, what you have hidden in your heartWill one day be revealed upon your tongue, against your will.This word of yours, becoming one day your foe or your dear friend,Will stand on the roads you are to travel, mighty and waiting.Do not think, bewildered: “This was my intention, this my word, yet in the worldI never saw them come to visit me.”Whether it is the intention of your good or the word of your evil —At the station of the Hereafter it will find you without a doubt.Akrom MALIK2019

    The Word is a living being.

    Once you have said it, you must live it. If you do not live the Word you have said,
