Between You And Allah Poem by Mohammad Younus

Between You and Allah,
No saviors, no redeemers—
Only you stand before Allah.

1. The Imam
He leads, not as a barrier, not as a veil,
But as a servant, calling—not interceding.
Your voice, your whispers, rise unbound,
Untouched, unseen—heard by Him alone.

2. The Scholars and Leaders
The wise illuminate, their words a lamp,
Guiding feet through shadows deep.
Yet they are signposts, not the gate—
The door to Allah is yours to seek.

3. The Awliyā (Friends of Allah)
They walk in remembrance, hearts aflame,
Enraptured in longing, alive in His name.
Yet they too are seekers, wanderers still,
Pilgrims treading the path you tread.

4. The Prophets
Messengers of truth, bearers of light,
Calling hearts—not to themselves, but to Him.
No worship, no devotion to self they sought,
Only that you turn your face to the One.

The Direct Path
No scholar, no saint, no Imam, no Prophet—
None stand between His nearness and you.
His mercy flows like breath in your lungs,
His presence beats closer than your heart.
Seek wisdom, yet walk the path alone—
For only your hands may lift the veil.
