Talib al Habib- Knowledge is light



shakautu ila Waki` su'a hifdhi
wa arshada-ni an tark al-ma`asi
wa akhbara-ni bi anna ilman nur
wa nur Allah la yu`ta al-`as

The great Imam ash-Shafi', he went to his teacher Waki`
Complaining about the weakness of his memory.
He told him, 'abandon rebellion, for knowledge is a light
And the light of Allah is not bestowed upon a rebel.'

Talib al Habib: Tasbih -- the Seedlings of Paradise

Tasbih -- the Seedlings of Paradise Subhan Allah, wa'l hamdu lillah Wa la ilaha illa Allah Allahu akbar wa la hawla Wa la quwwata illa billah All Allah's creation glorifies Him Infinitely perfect, beyond understanding And though we cannot praise Him As much as He deserves, We say 'glory to Allah, subhanallah!' All praise is for Allah, exalted be He He is worthy of all praise anyone could ever speak In thankfulness for all the blessings He bestows We say, 'praise to Allah, al-hamdu lillah!' There is none we worship except for Allah There is none we yearn for except for Allah It is the best remembrance -- no god but Allah Every moment in our hearts, we remember Allah Allah is more exalted than heaven and earth His pleasure more important than the greatest of rewards Allah is greater than any praise we make of Him So in word and deed and prayer we say, 'Allahu akbar.'
