Poem - What You Sanctify?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


With clay you made it,
As you will you shaped it,

With garments you adorned it,

With incense you perfumed it,

With foods you served it,

Will it ever eat it?

With chants you invoke it,

Will it even hear it?

With care you protect it,

Lest you break it!

But if it does you replace it!

And then you worship it?!


Tell me why you sanctify it?


With clay He made you,

How He willed He shaped you,

With garments He adorned you,

Nose to smell - He gave you,

With foods He nourished you,

Does He need food from you?!

When in distress He relieved you,

When you whispered He heard you,

With His mercy He protected you,

When He wills He will replace you!

That's Allaah - One who created you!


Him alone, then worship! Will you?

Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray.   (Al-Qur'an 1:1-7) We have many differences, most of which we ignore, but there are few which are deep enough to cause division. These are things significant to at least one of the differing groups. What color one wears, for example, may not cause division, however if one were to differ over what traffic light colors mean, then sure it will cause division as it ...
