When I said, “Stand up, the judge is coming,” he did not stand up.
“I don’t believe in your justice,” he said.

Slaves rising up
The corrupt official
Made a speech consisting of very worthless and meaningless words.
The old men and the neatly dressed people in the meeting stood up and applauded him.
…Sometimes standing up is also a sign of slavery.
A toast was raised at the banquet in honor of the dishonorable.
The middle-aged people stood up and drank.
Those people who did not stand up when the homeland was in danger…
They all hid under their beds.
And
…Sometimes standing up is also a sign of slavery.
At the concert,
A very rude singer,
Who had dozens of rich men in his life,
Sang a poor song about pure love.
The young people stood up and applauded.
…Sometimes standing up is also a sign of slavery.
But in the courtroom
I saw a man who had committed serious crimes many times.
When I said, “Stand up, the judge is coming,” he did not stand up.
“I don’t believe in your justice,” he said.
He was an example to the old, the middle-aged, and the young.
By the way,
One of the judges was old, one was middle-aged, and one was young.

Hazrat Ayyub’s prayer
It rained for two days
The capital was flooded
The capital turned into a sea, the houses into islands
Everyone blames the city administration, the municipality, the water department
But the real culprit remained on the sidelines
The religious singer who said “Give me the sea” — Ayyub Yagubov
He has been on the air all day
God heard his prayers
And he is on the air again
The television is working in a flooded house
It is almost like the “sea” meets the singer on television
Even in the belly of a big fish
Hazrat Yunus could have come to meet him
See how much Allah loves His faithful servant
Shut up, O mullah,
You say “Music is forbidden”
Allah will bring your mouth to His ears
You will hear your own words
It would be better if you heard them yourself
In any case, Allah will not hear you
Oh atheists, explain this too
After all, this miracle
Repeats every year
Accepting Hazrat Ayyub you should
…But these atheists are so stubborn
If Moses does not strike the ground with his staff,
If he does not part the sea,
If he does not save the captives,
They will not believe.
