GOD'S DZIKR (REMEMBRANCE) OF YOU ... in a moment split into infinite moments


God's Dzikr (Remembrance)
I am such an irritant,
But God is listening,
I complain and complain and complain,
But God is listening,
I am such a sinner,
But God is forgiving,
I am lost to myself,
Lost to the crowd,
Lost to the world,
But God is listening,
He does, all the time.

Even when I am forgetting,
God... He is remembering...

Remembering me in a beautiful place,
Remembering me in the best of ways,

Oh how they measure their remembrances of Him!
When His remembrance of us is more constant,
More infinite, more subtle and more certain
Moment after moment after blessed moment!
.....................

If we forget Him, nothing happens to God. We cannot touch His Omnipotence and Greatness which is greater than the greatest analogy our feeble mind can bring.

If we forget to praise Him, God is not dishonoured. His Glory is outside this reality and is furnished and burnished by something beyond our mortal inkling. 

If we forget to be grateful, God does not stop giving. He is beyond our petty need for gratitude and praise. How else do the ingrates sometimes live in large houses and the grateful dervish is destined for the gutter?

But if God forgets us? If God grows weary of us... tired of our constant forwards and backwards. Fed-up with our hypocrisy, lies and corruption? 

If God neglects even for a nano-second of His remembrance of us... where would we be? Certainly we would presently stop existing. But what past would we have? Would we be erased even before we were created? No history of me. Not even to mourn over my unfortunate story?

How sad.

But for the sake of the Prophet Muhammad(saws)...

Thankfully, God is God. Unlike any other, He is Most Compassionate. 
Unlike any other, He is Most Merciful. 
Only that reason merits why this sinner continues to exist. 
Continues to trouble your heart with these words.

But perhaps, I hope what is written here will give you 
Some solace, and some comfort. 
An assurance that when God says 
He is Unique and Most Forgiving of His creation... 
He is merely sharing the Truth of Himself with you...

Don't you agree, sunshine?

Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way
