When ibn Qayyim met Taqi al-Din ibn Taymiyyah

In the name of God, compassionate & merciful بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ | Peace be with you السلام عليكم

His hand took my hand and we journeyed without pause,

Till he showed me the place where the sun of faith rises

And I saw banners of the city, and 'round about it

The descent of Guidance and the forces of the Qur'an.

And I saw signs of wondrous import,

Yet veiled from the blind throng.

And I was given drink from a crystal glass,

Water that glistened like the jewels of a crown

And I saw cups as numerous as the stars

To quench the thirst of the thirsting

And I saw 'round the pure spring of Kawthar,

Whose waters ever gush, two scale;

The scale of the Sunnah and (the scale) of God's Word,

Which eternity will not rush nor tarnish.

When ibn Qayyim met Taqi al-Din ibn Taymiyyah.
