A Poem for Reflection

By Fahad Iqbal
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.

If they did please him, for them is good news, then! وَهَلْ أرضاه ما نَالُوهُ مِنْهُ؟...فبُشْرَاهمْ إذا نالُوا رِضَاهُ And if they displeased him, with what they had done... their might prevailed over his, then?! وَإِنْ سَخِطَ الذِي فَعَلُوهُ فيه...فَقُوَّتُهُمْ إِذًا أوْهَتْ قُوَاهُ The Listener, The Answer-er of invocation... Without God, did continue the creation? وَهَلْ بَقِيَ الوُجُودُ بِلَا إِلهٍ...سَمِيعٍ يَسْتَجِيبُ لِمَنْ دَعَاهُ؟ Did cease...

What are these statues that you worship?

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم " What are these statues to which you are devoted? " Ibraheem asked his people. They replied, " We found our fathers worshiping them ". He said, “ Indeed, you and your forefathers have been clearly astray .” He asked his father, who crafted idols  - " why do you worship that which does not hear, nor sees, nor does benefit in anything?! " He continued, " Do you desire made-up gods instead of Allah? What then is your thought about Lord of all worlds? In fact, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them both. And to that I bear witnes s". In the temple, Ibraheem saw the idols that his people worshiped, with foods in front of them as offerings. He addressed them saying " Will you not eat?! Why is it that you don't speak?! " Then he smashed all the idols except biggest of them and left. Horrified to see their idols lying in ruins, people guessed that Ibraheem was behind this and...
