Arabic text

تَعْرُكُكُمْ عَرْكَ الاْدِي، وَتَدُوسُكُمْ دَوْسَ الْحَصَيدِ ، وَتَسْتَخْلِصُ الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمُ اسْتَخْلاصَ الطَّيْرِ الْحَبَّةَ الْبَطِينَةَ مِنْ بَيْنِ هَزِيلِ الْحَبِّ. أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ بِكُمُ الْمَذَاهِبُ، وَتَتِيهُ بِكُمُ الْغَيَاهِبُ، وَتَخْدَعُكُمُ الْكَوَاذِبُ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ تُؤْتَوْنَ، وَأَنَّى تٌؤْفَكُون؟ فَلِكُلِّ أَجَل كِتَابٌ، وَلِكُلِّ غَيْبَة إِيَابٌ، فَاسْتَمِعُوا مِنْ رَبَّانِيِّكُمْ، وَأَحْضِرُوهُ قُلُوبَكُمْ، واسْتَيْقِظُوا إِنْ هَتَفَ بِكُمْ،

Translation

It would scrape you as leather is scraped, and trample you as harvest is trampled, and pick out the believer as a bird picks out a big grain from the thin grain. Where are these ways taking you, glooms misleading you, and falsehoods deceiving you? Whence are you brought and where are you driven? For every period there is a written document and everyone who is absent has to return. So listen to your godly leader and keep your hearts present. If he speaks to you be wakeful.
