Loyalty of Near Ones
قریبیوں کی بے وفائی
Original Arabic • متنِ عربی
مَنْ ضَيَّعَهُ الْأَقْرَبُ، أُتِيحَ لَهُ الْأَبْعَدُ.
Urdu Translation • اردو ترجمہ
جسے اس کے اپنے قریبی چھوڑ دیں (اور اسے ضائع کر دیں) تو اسے دور والے میسر آ جاتے ہیں۔
English Translation • انگریزی ترجمہ
“He who is abandoned by his near ones is provided with those who are distant.”
Reflections: This saying provides deep consolation and a lesson in Divine Providence. Imam Ali (as) explains that if those closest to you—whether by blood or social ties—fail to appreciate your worth or abandon you, Allah creates new avenues of support through strangers or distant people. No one is ever truly left without help; the source simply shifts.
