Everything Speaks of Him

In every corner of the Earth, there’s harmony,
Flowers and insects, colorful and free.
Is it possible for everything to exist by itself?
Or by the gathering of worldly causes?

From the tiniest particle to the vast universe,
As if everything is a flawless machine,
The evident order and symmetry,
Leave observers in amazement and awe.

Just as a village has a single chief,
Arrangement and order are brought about this brief.
Every object is created by The One,
He is The All-Living and All-Subsisting One

Beneath the earth, similar seeds reside,
Becoming unique flowers, where passions glide.
The Guardian makes this distinction,
Around the Greatest Name, creation’s ignition.

The Creator has perfected everything,
With a rhythm, existence takes wing.
God’s compassion for His servants is vast,
Is it too much for the denier to grasp?

The Qur’an and the signs of the universe,
Point to His boundless might.
God, the Exalted, presents them to us,
Earth, heavens, and the Divine Throne.

Similar, yet each sample stands alone,
The human face, a pattern finely sewn.
By the Name The Single One, each heart beats,
Everything clearly speaks of Him.
