In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Milestones on the path to stability Do not be deceived by the large number of perishing people It is a means of stability Do not be deceived by the large number of perishing people Nor the lack of those who walk He is not embarrassed by the stubbornness of the violators Nor from the weakness of those who are negligent Ibn al-Qayyim said in Madarij al-Salikeen And when he was seeking the straight path He asked for something that most people would ignore He wanted to follow the path of accompanying him there Very few and proud Souls are innate to the loneliness of exclusivity And be happy with your companion God Almighty alerted the companion on this path And they are the ones whom God has blessed Of the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous And those are good companions So he added the path to the companions who travel with him They are the ones whom God has blessed To be removed from the seeker for guidance and following the path His uniqueness from the people of his time and his kind And let him know that his companion is on this path They are the ones whom God has blessed He does not care if those who mourn him disagree with him They are the least valued Even if they are the largest in number As some predecessors said You are on the right path And do not be lonely because of the lack of those who travel Beware of the path of falsehood And do not be deceived by the abundance of those who perish And all I miss is your uniqueness So look at the former comrade He was keen to catch up with them He turned a blind eye to everyone else They will not avail you of anything before God And if they shout at you on your way Don't pay attention to them You don't pay attention to them They took you and hindered you
