Betrayal of the Intellect: Why Khalil Pelted Satan
Love has only one adamant clause: loyalty to the ultimate Beloved, even if it requires the betrayal of human intellect,
Of nil worth
Be my life,
If not for Meem
My love be rife.
What bliss would
Raise my humble deeds,
If by Meem’s Ways
I fail to heed?
‘His thoughts are
As the soul for our clay;
Appreciating him is
Binding on the Community.’
When to His House
With the right foot we enter,
And pray for the doors
Of His Mercy to be ajar,
Assume not
His gates to be opened
Until blessings upon
The Beloved are conveyed.
Allahumma salli ala habeebina Muhammad
Who in the world is so loved?
Allahumma salli ala sayyidna Muhammad
Who in the world is so followed?
Allahumma salli ala Maulana Muhammad
Who in the world is so remembered?
O Most High!
With these noble words,
I humbly implore:
To raise my soul
Above the body’s desire.

True faith demands sacrificing intellectual pride and forfeiting logic.
By weighing the count of forgetting against remembering, this poem proves that math always fails once the self dissolves in
