The Qualities of a Believer
مومن کی صفات
رَحِمَ اللَّهُ خَبَّابَ بْنَ الْأَرَتِّ، فَلَقَدْ أَسْلَمَ رَاغِباً، وَهَاجَرَ طَائِعاً، وَقَنِعَ بِالْكَفَافِ، وَرَضِيَ عَنِ اللَّهِ، وَعَاشَ مُجَاهِداً.
اللہ خبّاب ابن ارت پر رحم کرے، وہ اپنی خوشی سے اسلام لائے، اطاعت گزاری کے ساتھ ہجرت کی، ضرورت بھر رزق پر قناعت کی، اللہ سے راضی رہے اور مجاہدانہ زندگی گزاری۔
“May Allah have mercy on Khabbab ibn al-Aratt, for he accepted Islam willingly, emigrated (Hijrah) obediently, lived content with bare sufficiency, was pleased with Allah, and lived the life of a Mujahid (struggler).”
Reflections: In this eulogy, Imam Ali ؑ summarizes the perfect life cycle of a faithful soul. He highlights five key traits: sincerity in belief, readiness to sacrifice for the truth, contentment with simplicity, total submission to Divine Will, and a continuous struggle against falsehood. It serves as a blueprint for anyone seeking to align their life with the pleasure of Allah.
