Lamenting the Fall of Baghdad
بِسۡمِ
ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam Taqi’ ad-Din Isma’il ibn Abu al-Yusr adz-Dzahabi (r.a.) wrote a poem, about the fall of Baghdad to the Mongols, in 1258 CE.
“God Knows
that the people,
Were
made negligent,
By
what they enjoyed of Divine Favours,
Wherein
was abundance,
So,
they grew heedless of the Wrath of the Almighty,
Since
they became negligent,
And there came upon them a mighty one,
Of the hosts of infidelity.”
