Honourable Search.

[Abu Habiba 24]

                I searched for honour, I found it in service to the creatures.

            I searched for leadership, I found it in the creatures welfare.

           I searched for humility, I found it in truth.

          I searched for the source of pride, I found it in Faqr.

         I searched for a valuable relationship in the Hereafter, I found it Taqwa (Fear of Allah the Almighty).

        I searched for highness, I found it in Qana'at (contentment).

       I searched for peace, I found it in Zuhd (Piety).
