The Greatness of Your Lord

By Subhan Tariq

Piety is not the length of your beard or the amount of times you may pray
It isn’t the showing off of your actions or your interactions with others
Piety is based on your belief, not of your own greatness,
but on the greatness of your Lord

Humility is not cowering in the face of a difficult decision or wanting to have power
It isn’t the way you may talk to a girl or how you’re seen by others
Humility is based on your belief, not of your own greatness
but the greatness of your Lord

Desire is not the quest for simply attaining good deeds or the expression of thought
It isn’t the way you may want to act or the way you must behave
Desire is based on your belief, not of your own greatness
but the greatness of your Lord

Islam is not merely standing in prayer or giving to the poor
It isn’t starving while fasting or visiting Mecca
Islam is based on your belief, not of your own greatness
but the greatness of your Lord

I know I haven’t posted in a while, that’s because I have been extremely busy with school and everything else going on. There are some updates I want to inform everyone of. First of all alhumdulillah I graduated from college. Inshallah I will be starting law school in August. I ask for everyone to continue to keep me in your Duas and help ease my difficulties.

Secondly I can now post on Muslim in America from my phone, so that means I’ll be posting more frequently and more consistently.

Lastly Inshallah I will soon be going to Pakistan. I will be keeping an updated daily blog from there complete with pictures. I ask that you guys remember me in your duas and that I can have a safe trip Inshallah.

That’s it for now, more soon,
