PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 30. AL-HADIL, by EDWIN ARNOLD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: God will roll up, when this world's end approacheth Last Line: Among the number of thine own! Subject(s): God; Islam | |||
Al-Hâdil! Oh, "Just Lord!" we magnify Thy righteous Law which shall the whole world try.. God will roll up, when this world's end approacheth, The broad blue spangled hangings of the sky, Even as As-Sigill rolleth up his record, And seals and binds it when a man doth die. Then the false worshipers, and what they follow, Will to the pit, like "stones of hell," descend, But true believers shall hear Angels saying, "This is your day; be joyous without end." In that hour dust shall lie on many faces, And many faces shall be glad and bright; Ye who believe, trust and be patient always, Until God judges, for He judges right. Give us to pass before Thy throne Among the number of Thine own! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRESCENT AND THE CROSS by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 1.
