Executioner or Lover of God?
Samir responds to a threat with a poem, insisting that love for God endures even under violence, and urging reflection on whether God desires executioners or lovers.
Transcript:
This friend of ours wrote: “A mountain may hever meet a mountain, but a person meets a person. Wherever we face each other again, I will deal with you properly. I will separate your head from your body.”
Dear friend, the poet says:
“Tell the scholar of the city, but do not preach to me. I will not listen.
Tell the elder of the neighbourhood, but do not tell me to repent. I would break such repentences.
Even if you strike me with your dagger so that I will not go after Him anymore.
I would shout with longing after Him as long as there is even a breath left in my body.”
What you choose to do or not do, don’t matter to me. But even if you stab me with a dagger, I will say to my last drop of blood that I love God.
But think again: does God want an executioner, someone who kills, murders, and spills blood, or someone who loves Him?
Which is better: the path of loving God, or the path of being an executioner for God?
I beg you to think.
