Knowledge of God is my Capital;
Reason is the Root of my Faith;
Love is my Foundation;
Enthusiasm is my Horse;
Remembrance of my God is my Friend;
Firmness is my Treasure;
Sorrow is my companion;
Science is my Weapon;
Patience is my Mantle;
Contentment is my Booty;
Poverty is my Pride;
Devotion is my Art;
Conviction is my Power;
Truth is my Redeemer;
Obedience is my Sufficiency;
Struggle is my Manner;
And My Pleasure is in my Prayers.

Mohammed (pbuh)
