Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Raḥmat

Raḥmat1:
To The Blessed Beauty

A sinner ask forgiveness,
supplicates divine mercy
either indirectly,
though one of God's prophet-manifestations,
or directly,
begging clemency from God.

Divine blessing
touch every continent
and island on Earth,
because one of God's names
is mentioned every minute
of the day or night.

God gives humanity His grace
because He loves us,
not because we deserve.

The favor of God
is shed upon humanity
through the mirrors
of his attributes.

Loving kindness
is a divine characteristic,
which individuals
can reflect to humanity
on a daily basis.

Providence -
God's care and guidance
given through
the revelations
of Divine Messengers.

Compassion -
“to suffer together”2 -
empathy for the suffering
of others.
