I live with my Lord - Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Thanks to the Quran, I live with my Lord, the Incomparable Auxiliary, I gained full control of my soul and expelled Satan, the outcast.

In this world, I just take my sacrament only for Paradise and I conquered my passion and my heart completely purified.

In the Hereafter, the Righteous will be my companions and I will forever be given the means to fulfill.

The Qur'an will remain my true companion up to the third Heavens as he drove away from me, Satan, the Stoned.

My Shield against the curse and the wicked is the fact that I live with the Creator of the Worlds.

The Innovator, through His Book, honor and preserve me from any source of Reprimand.

So I would do know, until I went to Paradise, that Joy provided by the Sublime, Benefactor.

Would I, nor, subject to any sort of threat or Remonstrance, and my existence will be up to Paradise, Permanent Celebration.

GOD conceal the mystery for me, Well Kept (Sirru-I-Mas'un) by Love and by the phrase "Laa ilaaha Laah ilia" (There is no other god but God).

GOD directed me [on His Path] - While it remains the Innovative!- and He led me to Him through all sorts of Wonders.

The Creator, THE SAME which no one has seen the pair, made me free from everything that is not Him and led me [on the Straight Way].

While the Book of my Lord is in my favor and there is no doubt that I will remain forever in its service because it was through it that I live with GOD.

My strict abstinence from any source of corruption is my Bulwark against contamination and harm.

While God has honored me by His Book by building and by what He has deisgned chosen in me, and to me He has drained the crowds.

My Shield against the curse and the wicked is the fact that I live with the Creator of the Worlds.

The miracles of the Holder of Majesty and Nobility have never perpetuated my noble ambitions.

God has granted me that, ever, was and will never be granted to no creature.
