God (Allah)

God—a Word that is:

Soft, sweet, transparent, ethereal, and sacred;

Pronounced by the lips with quiver and awe;

Repeated by the hearts with fear and submission;

Sought after by every miserable and desperate person;

Known to all Creation since the beginning of time;

Familiar to a child from his early years;

A balsam that cures the laden hearts;

Unmatched by the Al-Kauthar* in its sweetness;

Totally encompassing the secrets of life;

Loftier than any other word, known or unknown to us;

Powerful, strict, sharp, and omniscient;

Chosen by the Creating Force to symbolize Itself;

Tough, yet compassionate;

Frightful, yet honeysweet;

Its meaning cannot be fathomed;

Heavenly and not terrestrial;

Inclusive of the secrets and mysteries of eternity;

Holy and eternal;

Almighty, dominating everything else;

Vengeful, yet just and reassuring;

A source of our tears, happiness, pain, and hope;

Musical to utter and Spiritual in meaning;

Implies the Beginning and End;

Oh, what a sweet and immortal Word!

It encompasses the mountains, seas, prairies, rivers, forests, deserts, highlands, canyons, and whatever forms that are known and unknown to us in this life and the life beyond.

God! (Allah!) Yes, what a sweet and immortal Word.

*Al-Kauthar is a river in Heaven.
