And what is the worldly life expect the enjoyment of decision".
THE ETIQUETTES OF SUPPLICATION
Line 58-62 explain and draw the attention of reader to the importance of 'dua' and genuflection. The poet in his crusade expresses his view that the success of the world can only be achieved if you as you Lord for it.
This expression tends to explain that one should not jettison this world for the after life and vice-versa. He calls on his reader to have good intention and sincerity of purpose when beseeching Allah for His bounties.
"sujud" (genuflection) is the best position to exhibit your repentance and remorseful overtures. Allah says "... but prostrate and draw near Allah"(Q 96 v 19)³⁵.
The poet makes reference to how Prophet Dhum Num (Jonah) sincerely repented and sought for forgiveness from Allah when he was in the belly of a whale. He said: "There is non deity except you (Allah) praise belong to you, I am one those who have wronged you.
The poet wittingly provides a supplication and invocation in seeking for Allah's mercy. Out of the numerous with which Allah could be beseeched is His names as enjoined in Suratul isra'
"Say" call upon Allah or call upon the most merciful (Ar-Rahman) wherever (name) you call- to Him belong the best names. (Q 18 v 110)
