46 Allah! There is No God but He Q2:255

Allah! There is no god but He,

The Living, Self-subsisting, free,

And though His form I do not see,

I know He is reality.

He is eternal and He takes

No slumber nor sleep but He wakes

To find me breathing out a prayer

To Him who finds me anywhere.

He reigns over all things above,

He touches earthly realm with love,

And none can intercede with Him

But by His leave and at His whim.

He knows my past and what’s to come,

He knows my life and all its sum,

I trust Him with my breath and tongue

To praise Him as I’m old or young.

His secrets He reveals to none

Except He wills, and then it’s done.

The secrets of the world and space

Are hidden in His power and grace.

His throne extends on earth and sky,

He is not weary, does not try

To guard and keep all things at last:

Nothing from His care is outcast.

He is the most high on the earth,

He’s most high in the sky for worth,

Supreme in glory and in power,

I wait on Him from hour to hour.

I see His dawn, His sun will set

On all my life and all I get.

Allah! There is no god but He

From now until eternity.

47 Let There be No Forcing in Faith Q2:256

Let there be no forcing in faith

Is what is known to man and wraith.

To force is simply to impede

The soul and the soul’s lofty creed.

The mind and will know only two

Alternatives: the sweet and swill.

If choice there be for humankind,

It is a choice made by the blind.

One does not cure the lack of sight

By a display of power and might.

The still small voice within alone

Can teach what’s written down on stone.

Truth stands out clear from error’s way

To everyone come out to play.

Whether in fact he’s wrong or right,

He’s certain of truth in his sight.

The evil one and Allah stand

Before the soul’s fortress unmanned

And the one that the soul thinks good

Is the one she chooses as should.

That grasping is one never breaks,

No matter for what power’s stakes,

Perception is built into each

And does not change by what they preach.

I see one good and call Him God,

Another born of human pod

May see the other and think fair

And follow that one everywhere.

I do not hear the vain reproach,

I know not all things that encroach,

I only know that Allah hears,

And God Himself knows what appears.

All faiths that pressure and that teach,

All those religions come to preach,

All that make laws and that police,

Are vain religions come to fleece.

Before the temple of the sky

All temples are an empty try.

Before the still small voice in heart

All sermons are a failing art.

With robin in her hidden nest

I listen for the voice that’s best.

With hedgehog on the nightly prowl

I pray the prayers of beast and fowl.

No man can teach another what

Can only be learned from the gut

And from the meeting each may know

Of the divine beneath stars’ glow.
