————————————————————————————————————————-

There’s always a battle between the soul and the nafs (desires)
A battle with no end in sight
A fierce and terrifying battle
In the history of internal battles, nafs is always the winner
Nafs get the privilege to raise the flag: a sign of victory
The victory for the nafs is the main cause of calamity in this universe

Cruelty, discrimination, wars and killings are all caused by the victory
of the nafs
Bloodshed occurs everyday
Human death are all over the surface of the earth
Not to mention the injuries and disabilities and continuous sufferings

Oh! this internal battle is terrifying
Its dangers and destructions involving the physical aspects of our lives
Human beings at a loss, with no more ideas, wondering what to do next

So that in this battle, the victory is for the heart and soul, and not more the nafs

No brilliant professor is capable of stopping the victory of the nafs
The philosophers are disheartened, a lot have even given up

Towards the advancement, victory after victory are achieved by the nafs
All mankind is at a loss, feeling hopeless and disappointed
They are weary of living this way!

We are hopeful for God the AlMighty, to appoint the world a spiritual leader
Who is  able to prevent the victory for the nafs
and able to help provide the victory for the soul
So that the world will be in peace, prosperity, tranquility and harmony
