UDL: Manhood, Masculinity and The Woman Part 14a

Chapter 93. Dhuhaa  - The Morning Light

     1. By the Glorious Morning Light. 

     2. And by the Night when it is still  

     3. The Guardian-Lord Hath not forsaken you Nor is He displeased. 

     4. And verily the hereafter will be better for you than the present. 

     5. And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give you (that wherewith) you will be well-pleased. 

     6. Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter (and care)? 

     7. And He found you wandering and He gave you guidance. 

     8. And He found you in need and made you independent. 

     9. Therefore treat not the orphan with harshness 

     10. Nor repulse the petitioner (Unheard); 

     11. But the Bounty of your Lord Rehearse and proclaim! 

Ibn Mas'ud relates that the Holy Prophet drew a rectangle and in the middle of it he drew a line lengthwise the upper end of which protruded beyond the rectangle.  Across this middle line he drew a number of short lines.  He indicated that the figure represented man, that the encircling rectangle was death, the middle line stood for his desires and the short lines across it were the trials and tribulations of life.  He said: "If one of these misses him he falls a victim to one of the others" (Bukhari) Riyadh As-Salihin #580 p. 123
