Just Look at Me! Allah, Allah, Allah!

[Guest guest]

Dearest Beloved Friends,

 

For some very odd reason i often have a feeling when planes go down,

prior to this happening. i never even saw the 911 occurrence coming.

It was not meant to be seen by me at all, so i imagine this might be

why i was given no indication beforehand. Too big for one to hold.

But after the thing happened i had a most vivid dream of being

Muhammed Atta while he was on that plane with all those dear souls.

And he kept repeating, over and over and over these words mentally:

Allah, Allah, Allah! And he really did believe he was acting for

Allah, the Merciful One. He believed he was delivering His message

and delivering those souls to God in a compassionate, albeit, insane

and ununderstandable act of Mercy and Love. He really did think this.

While listening to Sufi music just now, i was overcome with emotion

and Love to write this wild and weird poem. Bear with me, Dearhearts.

 

 

Once i recalled that i was a man called Atta.

Spending a lifetime in a year in a country not home,

there were so many times when i just wanted to dance,

to Dance into the arms of Merciful Allah, Allah, Allah.

 

Someone planted a seed of dissension in my head,

in my hands, and in my feet that just wanted to dance,

to Dance with the Beautiful One and to sing of His Glory.

Someone speared my Heart with a poisonous arrow of lies.

 

Landing on a planet in someplace called Florida, in the land,

in the land of Mother's Milk and Father's Honey, i was ecstatic.

Taking my place among the inhabitants there, i swore,

i swore allegiance to the Compassionate One, to Allah, Allah, Allah.

 

i made a promise to defeat all my enemies and in doing so i died.

i died long before i was sky-bound for Paradise in the afterlife,

and all those virgins, i never even wanted a single one of them.

i was the gifted Masculinity given to the One who made Truth Live.

 

Studying all night and into the day, into the day i would fly,

my name gave me strength and my strength gave me infinite power.

Atta was my name given for the sake of the One, the Merciful One.

Time ended in a vow to destroy infidels for Allah, Allah, Allah!

 

When i stood on that silvery Deliverer of Islam, i repeated one Name.

As the passengers wept and failed to understand the Mercy i'd become,

i repeated again and again the Name of the most Holy of Holies.

Against the sound of the shrilling engines and the silence behind it,

 

i, Atta, became the Deliver for the Prophet Muhammed, i was His own.

i thought the Beloved would give me the place of a Son born of Light.

Beholding that now i have failed to Understand the gift of Grace,

i stand with the dead filled with the sound of Allah, Allah, Allah!

 

Beloved has sent me back to this earth to fulfil a divine mission,

to give everything back to the lives of the lovers and mothers,

to the fathers and children and the friends of the Slainless slain.

i stand in every crowd like a silent witness to all grief and sorrow.

 

For ten-thousand lifetimes i will walk among the saddened of life.

i will Comfort the comfortless and Love the loveless and the lost.

For ten-thousand miles i will walk in the faithful, the many, the One.

And forever i will say the Name of Him, of Allah, Allah, Allah!

 

La'illaha il'Allahu, La'illaha il'Allahu, La'illaha il'Allahu.

There is no reality but God, there is only God, only God, only God.

Whatever will convince you that this is the Truth of even my actions?

How can i ever say what cannot be taken as what it is, As It Is, Now?

 

i forgot that the One is the many, and i Am That, as You Are That.

i dreamt a long dream that i was the one who could change anything.

i believed with my All that i was doing what the Beloved One wanted.

i will keep on my lips and in my Heart just this: Allah, Allah, Allah!

 

 

LoveAlways,

Very compassionate.

Too bad the behavior and the thought did not match.

 

If God is merciful and compassionate, then the believer's actions and

thoughts will also be merciful and compassionate if the believer is

congruent with his version of God.

 

However, I support your insight.
