Allah's Mercy
A Poem by Br. Atik Rahman
Allah is the All Merciful, the Most Merciful
His Mercy is vast and all encompassing
He is ever bestowing His Mercy to His creation
He is the only one that can save you so listen
giving if others do not know about it on social
media. As the popular saying goes, “Pic or it didn’t
happen”. Simply put, society demands evidence for
every little act and we sell the purity of our
intention by buying into society’s demand for proof
of our good conduct. Remember, it was the Bedouin
that made the prophet’s mercy and hospitality
public, not Prophet (S) himself.
Allah’s Mercy is like an everlasting cloud
Engulfing the heavens and earth from East to West
It is constantly raining beautiful beads of light
Hidden or apparent, thanks to God’s gift of sight Being merciful requires being altruistic, which in
He gives us rain for food and drink
He forgives us when we repent
We need Allah to get through strife
Surely Allah sustains all life
As Long as we believe and struggle in His name
He will unveil ninety-nine parts of His Mercy
On the Day of Judgement
Only He can save us from punishment
turn requires depriving oneself of comfort and
then going out of his way to pave the road and
shovel out the obstacles for someone else, then
making that person feel as if that person is the most
beloved to him. That is how the Prophet (S) made
others feel when in his noble company. Anyone,
after interacting with the Prophet (S) for a moment,
would think that no one is more beloved to the
Prophet (S) than he. This is the prophetic model.
Be merciful
So Allah will grant mercy upon you
If you wish to succeed
Listen and take heed
