Lower your Wing



Birds, soaring and diving, must end their flight slowly. Landing and lowering their wings is harder than taking off and stretching their wings. Like a bird coming down from sky to earth that slows its wing beats and lowers them to gently touch land so was the Command of ALLAH (Glorified be He) to His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding believers: (And lower your wing to those of the believers who follow you) (Ash-Shu‘ara’ 26: 215).

Lower your wing, Lay down your pride, Let go of your own life, Adopt patience, Give and care for people, Relieve their burdens, Remove their ignorance, Let not your eyes overlook them, Man or woman, young or old, rich or poor, strong or weak, enslaved or free Humble yourself to them, O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) And turn the darkness into light.
