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?

O Devotee of The Christ!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم O devotee of The Christ! We have question, (1) seeking answer from one with comprehension. ** أَعُبَّادَ المَسِيحِ لَنَا سُؤَالٌ...نُرِيدُ جَوَابَهُ مِمَّنْ وَعَاهُ When God died, by deeds of a nation... they put him to death! What God is this, then? إذا ماتَ الإِلهُ بِصُنْع قومٍ...أمَاتُوهُ فَما هذَا الإِلهُ؟ Did it please him, with him, what they had done? 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...

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. ...

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.
