The Mystery Beyond Poem by Mohammad Younus

The mystery beyond—
I admit my lack of understanding
when questions rise from within,
about the life Hereafter—
a realm beyond the contours
of my comprehension.

A human mind,
bound by the material world,
cannot grasp what lies
beyond this earthly existence.
Our brains, tuned to navigate
the tangible and visible,
fall short in the face of the spiritual,
the metaphysical, the transcendent.

From earth we rise as plants,
to earth we return as seeds.
But what lies beyond—
the unseen, the eternal—
remains shrouded in mystery.

Is it not enough to trust God,
to believe the rewards of the Hereafter
are bound to the life we live now?
I recognize this gap—
the chasm between earthly knowing
and divine truths.

Faith, intuition, and fleeting glimpses
offer sparks of insight,
though full comprehension eludes us.
The mystery itself becomes
a sacred part of the journey.

To embrace the unknown,
to rest in the arms of trust,
is not defeat but wisdom.
Let us acknowledge our limits,
and find peace in the unspoken,
the unseen, the infinite
