Essay on a poem by Malay poet Hamzah of Barus. I ran across this in my reading and thought its mystical focus an interesting compliment to our typically empirical content.

Preserved as surely as inscriptions are
preserved in rock,
Dung-darkened patches over which,
since they were peopled, years elapsed,
Their profane mouths and sacred ones
have passed away.
They were watered by the rain
the spring stars bring,
And on them fell the rain of thunderclouds,
downpour and drizzle...�

IMPRESSIVENESS
 
We worship Allah Azza Wa Jall to get our hearts purified
Purity was the reason for it, if the worship was sincere
Dedication to one�s ideal is the reason for misguidance
Out of which one worships someone else whom he loves
 
Muhammad the beloved of God, peace be upon him and his family
Grieved and felt sorrow out of fear for his nation
He warned us repeatedly, peace be upon him and his family
Not to love the world but to love Allah Azza Wa Jall only
 
How many dangers does the human being face from dawn to sunset ?
There are so many ways out of which one enslaves another
Who worships him, as he is impressed by him
The impressive one, who is either a liar or a coward
 
There are good impressive ones, the first of whom is Muhammad
Peace be upon him and his family, the beloved of God
If they put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand
I am still not going to desist from my teachings

If you love Allah, follow me and Allah will love you
Whoso loves scientists becomes a scientist
Whoso eschews evil becomes a leader to people
And instills fear in the hearts of Shaytan and his soldiers

EVIL
 

Evil takes on many forms, not just 3 forms
For truth is one and the rest and falsehood
Likewise beyond the 3 evils, there are 3000 other evils
But it all originates from the 3 main evils

Evil is doing wrong to yourself by cheating Allah Azza Wa Jall and Muhammad
Peace be upon him and his family, The people of Muhammad
Peace be upon him and his family, Must know that that is the greater evil
Then comes cheating people and inflicting harm more or less great

Shaytan the great deceiver revolves around 3 evils
One�s laziness, one�s deception and cheating and one�s self sufficiency
Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family taught to fight the three armies of Shaytan
So as to fill one�s heart with love of him, peace be upon him and his family

Some evils when they rise high indicate st**idity
The greater your intelligence, the lesser your evil
Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family taught this
Saying whoso surpasses you in intellect will always work more righteousness than you

Evil is not what people say and is quite often what they don�t say
The Muslim is courageous, not complacent to evil
The Muslim is intelligent, recognizing nobility of purpose
The rest is not important, rejecting the 3 evils is what is important

REST

Beware of too much sleeping
For too much sleeping harms the body
If sleeping harms the body then it harms the soul
And if sleeping harmed the body, the soul was harmed, undoubtedly

Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) was accustomed to night prayers
So that his blessed feet were swollen on its account
Peace be upon him and his family who had other duties during the day
Yet he prayed at night though all his sins were forgiven, as has been said

There is a Day that will come without a doubt
The duration of which is 50 000 years
Any rest for any second in this world,
Will yield chastisement and sorrow on that Day

Great Ulama of the Nation of Muhammad
Peace be upon him and his family, were seen in dreams after their deaths
Though all their lives were spent in worship of Allah
All that remains of rewards were those of end of night prayers

We need to rest so as to go through the day
So that rest for us must yield rewards
If you are destined to the Garden, you will be prepared
That place where no one rests, which explains your vigour and your energy

BOREDOM
 
The Companion of Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family
Would only give advice once a week
The people wished he would talk to them more often
He did not because he feared to bore them
 
One may be bored because of excessive worship
For instance, excessive learning of knowledge of religion
But that is not the case beyond the worship
One does not tire of Allah and Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family
 
It is only natural that humans need change
Something delightful soon turns into something painful
It is one of the reasons of the things in the world
Things change and evolve simply because humans need change

How can it be before Allah Azza Wa Jall who sees the sinners
He, The Lord of Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family
Never gets bored of them, the sinners
He sees every detail at every instant and punishes swiftly
 
He who believes in the Last Day should speak only good
Muhammad taught this, peace be upon him and his family
Muhammad peace be upon him and his family, never stopped teaching good
If you must be bored, still be restricted to the knowledge of religion

EXPERIENCE
 
 

This the Chinese they say
that as you think so you become
because thought leads to character and habit, after process
This is false, it�s not the thought but the personality

It has been said about the Beloved of Allah Azza Wa Jall
Peace be upon him and his family, that he taught
Peace be upon him and his family that experience unveils
But what is behind the veil not everyone can bear the sight

It is not what you did or who you did it with
It certainly is not the number of times you repeated it
It is the personality within, that even children become experts
In acquiring skills and ability, to the exclusion of others

Some acquire useful experience, others acquire negative experience
For experience without success is not useful
The Beloved of Allah Azza Wa Jall, peace be upon him and his family
taught that humans will keep running, until one day they die

There is experience which is neither useful nor negative
For to work is a must for the Muslim
If anything it is courteousness to Allah Azza Wa Jall
And gratefulness, out of which one�s personality evolves
