WE LOVE HIM

We love 
beyond our senses
Not because we have no control
over our senses
but because we know with certainty
that it is precisely because of him
that we all are

We love 
we love him dearly 
Not only because
we are commanded to do so 
but because loving him is 
in reality the source of all love
The soul of all things created

We love him
we love him immensely 
not out of misery and 
loneliness in our hearts
but because our hearts 
have been carved out
from the Creator's love for him

We love him 
we love him intensely 
not because we have been 
overcome by madness
but because it is madness 
not to love him with all intensity

Our love for him 
is far from blasphemy
it is the distance between 
faith and hypocrisy
we are only beggars at his door 
because he is the only door to Allah
Allah is The Bestower but he is the distributor and nothing 
reaches all creation from Allah
except that it reaches his hand first

For he is the first slave
Whom The Master made master 
of all things created

Placed beside him 
the sky has no height
the sun no light
the ocean is void of vastness
the earth no expanse
time no measurement
and space no kingdom 
Only through him is 
The Artisians Skill shown
It is by him that The Unkown becomes known and unknown again
He is the furthest depth of all mysteries
the scent that sheds light on all subtelties
His physical body  
proceeded past the point 
where Gabriel's angelic anatomy  
would turn to ashes
he is the perfection that all existence mirrors
The wonder of all wonders
his station is a statement from 
The Originator 
not given to him 
by our love for him
but by Love out of love for itself

We love him more 
than we love ourselves
this love will suffice us 
throughout the worlds
for no love is true 
unless carried in a heart 
that loves him
because that heart without love for him is foreign to love itself

May The Creator's love and peace
descend upon the source 
of all love and all peace
our love and our peace
the light that illumined
every excellence that 
The Excellent exudes
That the perfected perception recieves
The ocean whose waters  water
blossoms that bloom
to give light to the moon
from the depth of the first dawn 
to the last dream of doom

By Your slave's scent
grant us ascent
by the magnums means
grant us a piercing proximity
by Love's lantern
grant us The Gold of 
Your Glorious Glow
Indeed it is sown
Indeed it is so
