Except The Mukhliseen

So shaytaan made a promise, do you remember what he said?

“…I will surely make [evil] attractive to them on earth and I will cause them to be misled”

But he made an exception, for with them he dare not try

He said “except, among them, the Mukhliseen” and this is the reason why;

They keep their duties to Allah, they are devoted and sincere

Remembering Him and Obeying Him; their hearts are pure and clear

Their efforts are towards Him; with Him they associate no partners

They leave out sins and avoid them because for the hearts, they are hardeners

Their gaze on Allah is fixed, their intentions are never mixed, they know about his tricks so they chase him with their bricks…of Imaan

And Allah has got their backs, because to Him they always turn,

 Seeking forgiveness when they slip into that against which He warned

And when they are tested, he kinda hopes he gets a way

But if they are patient, Allaah cleanses them all the way

And Khalas!  They are freed in the end, liberated from the shackles of Sin

They succeed and gain acceptance because they were of the Mukhliseen.
