I warn you about this world, for it is a house that passes away and not a place of permanence.
Its inhabitants are travelers who will soon depart from it.
How many people were deceived by it and trusted in it, yet it betrayed them.

I am the son of the best of those who ever wore garments.
The best who performed tawaf and sa‘i.
The best who performed Hajj and proclaimed the talbiyah.
I am the son of the one who was taken by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque.

O people! Whoever knows me, knows me. Whoever doesnt know me, let me tell them about who I am, and my lineage. I am the son of Mecca and Mina.
I am the son of Zamzam and Safa.
I am the son of the one who carried the Black Stone with the edge of his cloak.

But soon they were taken from their palaces to their graves,
from the comfort of their homes to the darkness of the earth.
Their wealth did not benefit them,
their armies did not protect them,
and their long lives did not save them.
and you will be judged according to your deeds.
