The tricky area of sacrilege
‘He has insulted Islam! ’ they cry out,
‘Off with his head! ’
Thereby, some might say,
arrogating to themselves, Allah’s work
upon the jihad of our own true souls;
and 'infidels' might say,
watch out that you don't use
invented victimisation, for intolerance...
for shouting or whispering or even thinking
ill of God, is surely first, to damage oneself;
cutting one off from His mercy, justice, grace..
how can one insult God?
Jews and Christians say,
‘God is not mocked’…
meaning, He is all-powerful, has His own
just, merciful and graceful ways
of redeeming the lost soul…
perhaps we should cry
God is not mocked, a little louder,
that is, those of us who still believe this true…

Jihad
Jihad means struggle
In Islam most of the times
It refers to holy war
Jihad is the defense of Islam
If there was no Jihad
There would be no Islam
Jihad is obligatory for those
Who are driven away
From their motherland forcibly
Moreover
Jihad becomes obligatory
If the unbelievers wage War
Against the Muslims
Without any provocation
From the latter
However
Jihad is not obligatory
For the sick, women and children
Killing of innocent unbelievers
Is not supported by Islam
Thanks to Islam’s motto of peace

Guantanamo
Allah the Just, the Merciful.
That must be so
otherwise human beings
would have no conception
of justice or mercy
which is a solemn thought.
Suppose,
and there is no reason that this should not be true,
Allah
watches the unfolding Guantanamo saga
and considers thus:
'That the ignorant of all nations
cry for revenge,
I weep over.
But that those who know the Law
and blazon it as their nation's badge of pride
and then make exception
without remedy,
for years,
that is a crime a hundred times greater.
So I, Allah, the Just, the Merciful,
will allow this injustice to capture the mind
of a hundred Muslim youths
for every detainee;
of these, some may understand the Law;
and weep with Me;
some may ignorantly, cry for revenge
and act it out.
Is this not just and merciful?
It is the Law of ignorance.
Just suppose
He thinks that way.

God Has Mocked At Us
GOD HAS MOCKED AT US
God has mocked at us -
Made us so great to ourselves
Made us the center of our worlds
Made us feel as if we are what truly matters-
God has mocked at us -
And taught us how small we really are-
Has made us know the paradox-
Of our being central only to ourselves –
God has mocked at us and exalted us
And enabled us to attribute to God
Our own reservations about ourselves-
God has mocked at us
Do we in mocking ourselves mock God also?

Abundance of goods (Chapter 102, Holy Koran)
I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.
Abundance of goods blindfolds you
Until you come to the graves
O yea! what you are thinking is not true
O sure! what you are thinking is not true
If you had the knowledge of the faith
You could see the inferno
You will see it with your own eyes later
Then you will be questioned about God's favor.

Muslims and Christians
In the deepest deeps of the human heart,
what separates Christian and Muslim,
Islam and Christianity?
Absolutely nothing. How could it?
The God always close to us –
as close as His blood, our blood –
inside us, and outside us,
whom, when we forget,
then we must remember –
this, our God. In that holy place,
we cannot entertain
a thought of separation;
only when we seek duality, division,
a foe to fight a friend,
a friend to fight a foe,
do we name our friends, our fiends, our enemies.
Mohamed, the prophet of the Lord,
Jesus, son of God? Let those who will,
play with such terms;
and if men insult their holy name –
some in burning fury
take it as a personal insult
to the God who lives within them;
some smile, and say,
God is not mocked…
His justice and His mercy see
that retribution is His law of nature…
In the deepest deeps
of one single human heart, rests
enough love for the whole world, the whole Creation;
who can measure that?

Surely there is a lesson for those in it who have insight
And Allah has created from water all living creature

Walk upon two feet and others walk upon four.

Surely Allah has power over all things.
