A Poem for Reflection

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 
 

Climb atop highest mountains,

Pierce your sight into the heavens,

Expand your vision to the horizons,

Dive deep into the darkest oceans,

 

Tell me now, do you find the Creator in creation?

Or can you grasp His grandeur with imagination?

 

Will you then worship your hand’s creation?

Or other beings lower in station?

Or pious dead awaiting resurrection?

 

What is wrong that you don’t reason!

Ditch gods created by humans!

To your Creator - alone - show devotion!

 

Follow His messenger sent to all nations,

You will be rewarded with eternal dominion,

In paradise, reclining high in station,

With words of recognition and congratulations,

Rivers, fruits, shades - delights beyond imagination,

In seats of honor near Lord of creation.

In search of another God

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Humans have been gifted with great abilities and distinct advantage over rest of the creation. In spite of innumerable favors bestowed upon them by Allah سبحانه و تعالى, humans are ever ungrateful. Not content with what they had or in search of an escape from their agonies, they turned to others whom they assumed could help. Not pleased with their Creator, they supplicated to prophets, angels, pious, dead and even animals - hoping that they may be able to intervene in the decree of Allah or if not, at least intercede with Him سبحانه و تعالى on their behalf. To please these gods and gain their favor, they worshiped them, while they never deserved worship. However, Allah - The Most Merciful - did not withdraw His blessings from humans nor did He destroy them altogether, which is easy for Him جل جلاله. Quite contrary to that, He continued to bestow upon them more favors; but very few show gratitude. يآ أيها الإنسان ما غرّك بربك الكريم؟ الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك. ...
