Three Companions

Filed under: Art, Charity Piece, Ramadan — Awakening Art @ 11:20 am

BISMILLAH

Acrylic on paper
Bismillah in Kufic script with the surround written with repeated Allah.

Salaams to all.

Just a quick note taken from the website Ahmed’s World of Islam – Online

 

 In this world you have three companions:one is faithful, the others are treacherous.The latter are friends and possessions;

The faithful one is excellence in deeds.
Your wealth won’t come with you out of your palace;your friend will come, but only as far as the grave.
When the day of doom comes to meet you,your friend will say, “I’ve come this far, but no farther.I will stand a while at your grave.
“Your deeds alone are faithful: make them your refuge,for they alone will accompany you into the depths of the tomb. 
Mathnawi of Maulana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi

 May Allah accept whatever we offer in the month of Ramadhan, and may he make us from those whose duas are accepted. Aameen.

Peace and salaams to all

Umm Aisha
