Al-Was`ih
“All-comprehending One,” Al-Wasi'h! we
By this name also praise and honour Thee.
By this name also praise and honour Thee.
Turn, wheresoe'er ye be, to Mecca's stone,
For this is holy, and your Lord doth hear;
Thitherwards turn!—so hath all Islâm one
Heart to its thought and harbour of its prayer.
For this is holy, and your Lord doth hear;
Thitherwards turn!—so hath all Islâm one
Heart to its thought and harbour of its prayer.
But Allah's house eastwards and westwards lies,
Northwards and southwards. He is everywhere:
Whithersoever way ye bend your eyes,
Face to face are ye with Al-Wasi'h there.
Northwards and southwards. He is everywhere:
Whithersoever way ye bend your eyes,
Face to face are ye with Al-Wasi'h there.

It is not righteousness to kneel aright
Fronting the Kiblah; but to rightly hold
Of God, and of His judgment, and the bright
Bands of His Angels; and what truth is told
Fronting the Kiblah; but to rightly hold
Of God, and of His judgment, and the bright
Bands of His Angels; and what truth is told
In the sure Korân by God's holy Prophet;
To succour orphans, strangers, suppliants, kin;
Your gold and worldly treasure—to give of it
Ransom for captives, alms which mercy win:
To succour orphans, strangers, suppliants, kin;
Your gold and worldly treasure—to give of it
Ransom for captives, alms which mercy win:
To keep your covenants when ye covenant;
Your woes and sufferings patiently to bear,
Being the will of God:—this is to front
Straight for the Kiblah: this is faith and fear.
Your woes and sufferings patiently to bear,
Being the will of God:—this is to front
Straight for the Kiblah: this is faith and fear.
Abounding Lord! in every place
Is built the Mecca of Thy grace.
Is built the Mecca of Thy grace.
