Tuesday, September 1, 1908

بَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا، أَوْ يُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا، يَبِيعُ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا
Transliteration

Badiru bi-l-a'mali fitanan ka-qita'i-l-layli-l-mudhlim, yusbihu-r-rajulu mu'minan wa yumsi kafira, aw yumsi mu'minan wa yusbihu kafira, yabi'u dinahu bi-'aradin mina-d-dunya.

Translation

Hasten to do good deeds before trials come like pieces of a dark night, when a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening, or a believer in the evening and a disbeliever by morning, selling his religion for some worldly gain.
