Faith
The greatest blessing is to know God,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
The greatest blessing is to know God,To know God and to seek refuge in Him.Expecting from Him every grace and gift,If you must long, to long for the friend of God.But it is torment, it is anguish, alas,To come to know God and then remain numb.One must be mindful and aware —To remember God at every moment is great happiness.If you have come to know God, O dear one,Feel this sense of joy more deeply.Stand upright, bow, and every day, on your knees,Lay your honored head down in prostration.If all kinds of calamities come your way,If you are kept far from all kinds of pleasures —All these things, believe me, are a bellRinging in your heart: “Remember God.”Do not soil your heart with forbidden thoughts,Feel no need for the love of the world.The greatest kindness is to remind the servant:You need God, you need Him, you need Him.Akrom MALIK
