answer them,
not as yourself,
but as wisdom
or starlight
or the first dream
ever dreamed.
name yourself
for them
and through them.
call yourself
rahman,
salam,
karim,
wadud,
shifa,
rahim
for with this Love will be made,
angry hearts will fill with compassion,
blame will be softened and transformed into mercy,
disease of heart, mind, body and soul
will be healed by the One who Heals,
greed will be forgotten in gifts of charity,
the oppressed will be set free.
spread the blessings of Allah everywhere!
we are not Him,
but He is there
as every cell
and atom
surrenders to Him.
Assalam Alaykum
to all,
to my brothers,
my sisters,
to our teachers,
to lovers of Allah,
to my Buddhist, Zoraostrian,
Sikh, Christian, Jewish
and pagan neighbors
who know kindness,
love, mercy and peace.
in the Oneness of Love,
we will be kin.
whether you are Muslim
or atheist, far or near,
angry or peaceful,
blameworthy or saintly,
i share with you
my bread,
humanity,
i share so that you will know
we are all one family,
Loved,
Loving,
Lovers,
touched by the Beloved...
Love is all there is.
Amin,
So Be It,
Amen.

Wow, you are come full circle, to the beginning that has no beginning. A most lovely and heart filling poem about Love in all its attributes.
Alhamdulillah! May it be so. Amin.
