The Source of Goodness

Allah (God) is Al Barr,

"The Source of All Goodness!"  

" The Giving!" and "The Loving!"


And, "God Grants abundant sustenance!"

"From Heaven is your sustenance on earth,

and all that you were promised" in the Hereafter.


It is He who "causes the clouds to comfort you with shade,

and sent unto you manna and quails, saying,

'Partake of the good things,
 
I have provided for you as sustenance.'


And, Allah "Grants us good in this life,

and good in the life to come!"


For, He alone is "The Source of Abundant Good,"

"Goodness Supreme!"


So, "Render thanks unto Him for His Blessings!"

And, "worship Him alone!"


For, He gives of His Bounty "to such of His Servants

as who attain to Faith, and do righteous good deeds."


And, "He grants the purest of Faith,"

The Truth!

And, The Light!


And, "He Loves those who turn unto Him repentance...

who are pure,

and "grow in sincere Faith of Him alone."


For "Those who have attained to Faith,

and who have done good works,

 give glad tidings that theirs shall be Paradise,

through which running waters flow!"


And, His "Goodly Acceptance is the Greatest!

The Triumph Supreme!"


Amen
