PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 86. AL-JAMI'H, by EDWIN ARNOLD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Ye who believe, stand ye steadfast in justice Last Line: Safe in the fold thy foolish sheep. Subject(s): God; Islam | |||
Al-Jami'h! praise "the Gatherer," Who divides Evil and good unto their proper sides. Ye who believe, stand ye steadfast in justice, Witnessing true though it be to displease; Heed not your patrons, nor parents, nor kinsmen, Allah is nearer and richer than these. Sit ye not down in the seat of the scornful, Hear not the tales which the hypocrites tell; On the day when His children are folded together Al-Jami'h shall scatter the sinners to hell. We take Thee for our Shepherd; keep Safe in the fold Thy foolish sheep. | 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.
