sincerity

Comfort and hardships are only veils,
Infinite layers of veils correspond to infinite levels of duality

Sincerity is a tree of strength,
A source of power to advance one’s state (maqam)

Its roots stem from the nur of iman,
Its fruits are patience, gratitude, and istiqamah

Patience in comfort and gratitude in hardships,
Istiqamah in both patience and gratitude

Patience within patience, gratitude upon gratitude,
A sign of advancement from one layer to another

Ya Allah ya Hayyu ya Qayyum
Qaa iman bil qisthi dzaalikumullahu fa’anna tu’fakuun
