‘Eid al-Fitr 2009 Mubarak!
The Holy Quran states, “The heart lied not in what he saw. Will you then dispute with him about what he saw” Muslim recorded from Ibn Abbas about the verses: [مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى ] “The heart lied not in what he saw”, and, [وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى ] “And indeed he saw Him at a second descent.” “He saw Allah twice in his heart.” ‘Eid Mubarak for the honor of the Master of Prophets (S).
“Verily I serve the image of the Sandal of Mustafa.
That I shall live under its shadow in both worlds.
[Sa’d] Ibn Masud was in the service of His Sandal.
And I am fortunate by serving its image.
I dust the Sandal image with the whiteness of my beard.
Since the Prophet SalAllahu Alaihi Wasallam fastened the band that passed between His toes.
It is not for the image that my heart is longing.
Yet it yearns for the one who wore this Sandal.
We are lowered by awe to honour this Sandal.
And whenever we lower before it we are raised.
So place it on the highest shelf!
For indeed in reality it is a crown and only outwardly a Sandal”
-Imam Yusuf ibn Ismael al-Nabhani
