JAZZALLAHU ANNA SAYYEDINA MUHAMMADAN MA HUWA AHLAHU
MANAM SAGHE DARBARE JILANI
SAYYIDUNA 'UTHMAN RADÎ ALLÂHU ANHU
The foundation of modesty on which the Faith is based was laid by the Commander of the Faithful Uthman Radi Allahu anhu.
The heavens are but vapor rising from the sea of his knowledge, the earth but dust from the mountain of his meekness.
He was a whole world of wisdom, a personified soul, possessed of two marrows in the two lights of the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam.
Nay, what do I say? He had three marrows, two from those two lights and one from the Qurân.
What glory was his!
In a sanctuary lit with three such lights he was clearly seen even by his enemies unless they were blind.
If the sun have a stock of radiance it is only with the aid of Him of the Two Lights.
None but he has ever achieved such perfection, to be united to two daughters of the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam.
Since the Qurân was revealed in pain, it is the proof that a man is worthy of it, That he leaves this world in pain; and so it was with that Sun of the Two Lights.
Since he received the favor of possessing the two eyes and lamps of the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam And was, as the Possessor of the Two Lights, of the Prophets Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam family, how could anyone doubt his loyalty to the Faith?
If a man receives two such lights from heaven, the sun and the moon are his servants.
If thou breathe the breath of hatred against such a man, thou besmirchest the moon and the sun.
He that broke his staff across his knees was struck with a cancer in his own knees.
His staff was in fact, like that of Moses, the foe of his foes.
And if he had an enemy in the world he was in effect another Pharaoh.
He said: 'Since I laid my hand in the Prophet's Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam hand to pledge allegiance to Out of respect for his hand I have never touched anything unclean.'
He that showed such respect to the Prophet's Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam hands subdued the soul of all true believers.
His heart was a great sea of knowledge, his body a vast mountain of meekness.
He had in truth collected the Qurân in his heart; all the mysteries of the universe were in his grasp.
Because he collected the Qurân he was always composed; because of his application to the Furqân he could discriminate between the noble and the base.
Being the Imâm of noble and base why should he be wanting in the judgment of his likes?
All his life he never supped nor slept any night without having first recited the whole of the Qurân
When there was a rising against him his slaves at once armed themselves for battle.
He said to them: 'Every slave that shall today lay down his arms shall be free and victorious.'
As he was always reading the Qurân, it was his constant practice to collect the Jami'.
In the end he was martyred whilst reading it; and it was the Qurân that caught his blood.
Loving the Qurân more than all the world that Candle of Lovers was in the end absorbed in what he loved.
Though Faruq Radi Allahu anhu was the Candle of Paradise, yet like a candle he sacraficed his head on the road to his Beloved.
