Can there be no Allah?

I see a house, grand and beautiful.
With a flourishing garden so shady and cool.
My mind perceives its owner, architect and mason.
I don’t need to see them to be certain.

I see this universe, a seemingly endless beauty.
As regards its Owner and Maker I lack certainty.
My mind has yet to perceive and my heart yet to feel.
The reality my external eyes can never fulfill.

Can there be no Allah?

Whose mercy unleashes the energy of heat, magnetism and electricity?
And whose power unlocks the atomic nucleus great binding energy?

Biology discovered fascinating plants and animals.
Species numbering tens of thousands!
With their peculiar ways of multiplication and propagation.

Who has the power to teach bees make their hexagonal cells?

Whose sovereignty instructs the ants to perform hard labour without pay?
Whose wisdom prescribes them the system of saving for a rainy day?
The Most Kind One who protects the spider in a house so fragile.
Is the One who directs the eel to travel thousands of miles.
From the southern seas to the northern seas the eel will race.
Just to lay its eggs at its original birth place.

Is there anyone who can compete with The Creator?
Or has the slightest share in His Dominion and Power?
To Him belongs all Attributes of Beauty and Perfection.
The Only Perfect Being without equal nor comparison.


How can there be no Allah?
No one can ever, ever, do what He does....

Because He is the Rabb with unique qualities no one can match.
Upon His Tawheed alone the heavens stand and the earth rests.

When people said Allah has taken for Himself a son.

Who teaches the bird to fly so gracefully?
To open and shut its wings in flight so timely.
What kind of power can hold the bird in the air with such loving mercy?

that in turn produces lift to a wing structure precisely.

Can there be no Allah? Subhanallah!

Is there any who has the Power and Mercy He possesses?

The Self-Sufficient Being, Allah As-Samad .
He Whom everything in the universe seeks.
The Only Perfect Being every creature needs.
