Cling To Your Ass’s Neck – Abdur Rahman’s Corner

Peace, one and all…
Cling to your ass’s neck and steer it onward
To those who know and keep well to the Way.
Don’t let the ass escape; hold on to it.
Beware, it has a passion for green pastures.
But let it go one moment carelessly,
It will be off for miles in search of grass.
Opponent of the Way the ass is grass-mad.
How many riders has it brought to grief!
If you don’t know the Way, do the reverse
Of everything it wants – that’s the right way.
‘Consult them,’ then ‘perform the contrary,’
For he who does not disobey them fails.
Do not be friends with lust and appetites;
‘they will divert you from the Way of God’ [Quran 38:26]*.
To break this list, there’s nothing in the world
to match the help of comrades on the way.
