Couplet Day 1

The Trust and the Pulpit
1

Inspired by Qur’an 4:58 and the theme of amānah (trust)

“Indeed, God commands you to deliver trusts to their [rightful] owners, and that when you judge between people, you judge with justice. Excellent indeed is what God advises you. Indeed, God is all-hearing, all-seeing.”

Qur’an, Surah an-Nisa (The Chapter of Women) #4, Verse 58

Trust is not a robe for the scholar to wear,

It is a burden of fire, too heavy for air.

The pulpit is not a throne, but a bridge of light,

Where truth must tremble, and falsehood takes flight.

Have I delivered the message, O Lord, as it was?
