The Devout

In this world everyone is proud on something; some is on possession and money, 

some is on lineage, and some is on position and status. 

When I pondered on these, [things on which people are proud of] I found them to be paltry and worthless. 

Then I came to this verse [of the Quran] that it is the most devout [parhaiz-gaar] among you that is worthy and honorable in sight of God. 

Therefore, I tried to become devout so that I can become worthy and honorable.

Imam Ghazali [may Allah be pleased with him]
