Sufi Wisdom

So that You may Succeed

God chooses Messengers from among the angels and from among humans. God is all hearing, all seeing.

He knows what lies before and behind them. All matters return to Him.

Believers, bow down, prostrate yourselves, worship your Lord, and do good so that you may succeed.

Strive hard for God as is His due: He has chosen you and placed no hardship in your religion, the faith of your fore-father Abraham. God has called you Muslims – both in the past and in this message – so that the Messenger can bear witness about you and so you can bear witness about other people. So keep up the prayer, give the prescribed alms, and seek refuge in God: He is your protector – an excellent protector and an excellent helper.
