| [slm] In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful To contemplate His night-time skies, To reflect on the stars of His boundless space, Gives meaning for every soul that cries, And slays evil with a sword of eloquent grace. I gaze up to ponder His evident signs, Of beauty that glows through the perils of night, For this is what infinite wisdom defines, As the lanterns of the city are no match for His Light. His twilight holds visions of a time so swift, And contains the cure for my heart’s desire, And suddenly all deep thoughts set adrift, With dreams of His Gardens, and fears of His Fire. His galaxies assure me that I will resurrect, Meditations of His cosmos fill me with hope, As my mind, body, and soul connect, With persistence and patience: hold firm to His rope. His cover reminds me of a far off place, Of limitless goals and beautiful truth, How I yearn for that moon to compare with my face, And to meet with a life of sweet endless youth. His planets warn me my soul will be taken, In all His creation there exists no flaw, At once a universe of strength is awaken, Laa ilaaha illallaah. Can there even be doubt? I gently inquire, To the one who negates and loves to defy, Of His Sovereign Existence and His Knowledge Much Higher, Have you ever looked up at His night-time sky? --Author Unknown “And at night; will you not then reflect?” 37:138 |
