العلم شىء بعيد المرام
Knowledge is something afar
لا يصاد بالسهام
Cannot be hunted with arrows
ولا يورث عن الاباء والاعمام
Nor inherited from fathers and uncles
بل هو شىء لا يدرك الا باافتراش المدار
Nay, it is not achieved except by making the earth as one’s bed (always being in the mosque)
وارتخاء الحجر
And (feeling the ) softness of the stone (of the floor of the mosque)
وكثير النظر
And a lot of seeing (and thinking - that is reading and observation)
وكثرة الفكار
And a lot of thinking
واجتهاد فى كتب البحار
And striving (looking for knowledge) in oceans of books (giving detailed explanations of things)
- Tok Kenali -
There was a chipmunk climbing up a tree.
I stopped to look at him and he stopped to look at me.
When I said hello he didn’t understand and he went to runaway.
I recited some Quran and he decided to say.
Animals love to hear Quran, try it out someday.
They’ll stop and listen carefully to every word you say.
Allah created animals, Allah created man.
And he sent a book to guide us all, even animals love Quran.
Sitting at my window to ponder at the sky,
I saw a little bird as it flew by.
I recited some Quran, and it wasn’t very long,
Till the bird sat near my window and decided to sing along.
Animals love to hear Quran, try it out someday.
They’ll stop and listen carefully to every word you say.
Allah made the chipmunks and the birds, Allah created man.
And he sent a book to guide us all, even animals love Quran.
Playing in the yard on a warm sunny day,
A shy little kitten watched me play.
I bent down to pat him on the head but I think he was scared of me.
I recited some Quran; she smiled and brushed against my knee.
Animals love to hear Quran, try it out someday.
They’ll stop and listen carefully to every word you say.
Allah created animals, Allah created man.
And he sent a book to guide us all, even animals love Quran.
Animals love to hear Quran, try it out someday.
They’ll stop and listen carefully to every word you say.
Allah created animals, Allah is Ar-Rahman.
Cause he sent a book to guide us all, even animals love Quran.
Allah made horses and dogs and bats and camels and gnats and pigs and coes and spiders and chickens and elephants and crocodiles and dolphins and beavers and sheep; lions and zebras and whales and emus...
But he sent a book to guide us all even animals love Quran
