You may be the reason their heart softens today. The Prophet ﷺ said: من دل على خير فله مثل أجر فاعله "Whoever guides to good will have a reward like the one who does it." (Sahih Muslim) May Allah soften our hearts and make us among those who listen and follow the best of it. #heartsofteners #islamicreminder #islam This poem was written by Ibrahim ibn al-Abbas al-Suli (176–243 AH). What are you really building your life around? In this moving piece of classical Arabic poetry on zuhd (asceticism), the poet paints a vivid picture of the dunya's true nature — fleeting, deceptive, and never satisfying the nafs no matter how much it gathers. The poem contrasts this eternal abode with the empty palaces of kings and the fate of Qarun, who took pride in his wealth and was consumed by worry over it, only to taste death like everyone before him. The poem reminds us: there is no home after death except the one we build before it. And the way to build it may be as simple as a single rak'ah hidden in the darkness of the night, or feeding a hungry person on a day of hardship. So plant the roots of taqwa while you still have the ability — for after death, you will surely meet what you planted. 🔔 Subscribe for reminders rooted in the wisdom of the Salaf and the poetry of zuhd.
