@3Al-'Aziz! "Strong and Sovereign" God, Thy hand Is over all Thy works, holding command@1. Maker of all ye truly call the Strong and Sovereign One, Yet have ye read that verse which saith whereto His work was done? Open "the Book," and heedful, look what weighty words are given (The Chapter of Al-Akhâf) concerning Earth and Heaven. "The Heavens and Earth," Al-Akhâf saith, "and what-so is between, Think ye that We made these to be, and then—not to have been? Think ye We fashioned them in jest, without their times, and plan, And purpose? Nay! accurst are they who judge of God by man." @3Oh, Higher, Wiser, than we know, Let not Thy creatures judge Thee so@1. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WIDOW'S MITE by FREDERICK LOCKER-LAMPSON MANNERLY MARGERY, MILK AND ALE by JOHN SKELTON SPRING IN WAR TIME by SARA TEASDALE ON THE DEATH OF CYNTHIA'S HORSE by PHILIP AYRES SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 43.
