Have You Pondered Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Have You Pondered

Rating: 5.0


Have you pondered?
Why heavens are without any pillars
And why mountains are placed on earth?
And why moving creatures of all kinds are scattered?
And why water is sent down from sky (Rains) ?
And how the earth comes to life after death?
And we should be thankful to Almighty for everything.
Indeed, HE merges the night into the day and
Merges the day into the night
And has subjected the sun and the moon,
Each running its course for a term appointed
He sends down the rain,
And knows that which is in the wombs
No person knows what he will earn tomorrow,
And no person knows in what land he will die.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Lessons from Holy Quran: 31) Sūrat Luqmān
The preparation of wisdom is obtainable but wisdom itself is not obtainable and it is bestowed by Allah.
Yes, when man's heart is enlightened by the light of wisdom resulted from purity and piety, the divine words will be uttered by his tongue and he will say the same thing that Allah pleases and he thinks in the same way that Allah approves.
And indeed We gave wisdom to Luqman, (saying :) ‘Be grateful to Allah; and whoever is grateful, he is only grateful for his own soul; and whoever is ungrateful, (he does no harm to Him) for verily Allah is self sufficient, Praised."
Advice by Luqman (Prophet PBUH)to his son:
"O my son! If it be (anything) equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens or on the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Verily, Allah is Subtle, Well-Aware.'') (17. "O my son! Perform the Salah, enjoin the good, and forbid the evil, and bear with patience whatever befalls you. Verily, these are some of the important commandments.'') (18. "And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allah likes not any arrogant boaster.'') (19. "And be moderate in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the braying of the asses.
do not be boastful, arrogant, proud and stubborn. Do not do that, for Allah will hate you.'
It is not befitting us to be an evil parable. The person who takes back his gift, he is like a dog that vomits and then goes back to his vomit.
"Luqman said to his son: `Wisdom puts the poor in the company of kings.''' `O my son! When you come to a gathering of people, greet them with Salam, then sit at the edge of the group, and do not speak until you see that they have finished speaking. Then if they remember Allah, join them, but if they speak of anything else, then leave them and go to another group'.
Allah reminds His creation of the blessings He bestows upon them in this world and the Hereafter. In the heavens He has subjugated for them the stars which give them light during the night and during the day, and He has created clouds, rain, snow and hail, and made the heavens a canopy which covers and protects them. On earth He has created for them stability and rivers, trees, crops and fruits; He has completed and perfected His graces upon them, apparent and hidden, by sending Messengers, revealing Books and removing doubts and excuses. Yet despite all this, not all the people believe, and indeed there are those who dispute concerning Allah, that is, His Tawhid, and His sending the Messengers. Their dispute is without knowledge and they have no sound evidence or valid inherited Book.
"Verily, those who invent a lie against Allah, will never be successful.'' Enjoyment in this world! and then unto Us will be their return, then We shall make them taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve.) (10: 69-70)And if you ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the earth, '' they will certainly say: "Allah.'' Say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah! '' But most of them know not.) (26. To Allah belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Verily, Allah, He is Al-Ghani, Worthy of all praise.)His creation and resurrection of all of mankind on the Day of Resurrection is, in relation to His power, like the creation and resurrection of a single soul; all of this is easy for Him.See you not that Allah merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night, and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running its course for a term appointed; and that Allah is All-Aware of what you do.) (30. That is because Allah, He is the Truth, and that which they invoke besides Him is falsehood; and that Allah, He is the Most High, the Most Great.)
