Belief in Allah and Its Sovereignty, The Five Pillars, The Names and Attributes Divine, and Guidance of the Scholars of Sunnah

 

Belief in Allah: The Essence of Worship

²⁵To Allah alone belongs the right of praise,

   The sole Creator, Sustainer of our days.

²⁶From Him flows knowledge, wisdom, and might,

   Rewarding the just, revealing the light.

²⁷For worship, He fashioned both jinn and man,

   Guiding them with His divine plan.

²⁸"I did not create the jinn and mankind but to worship Me,"

   Says the Lord, Provider of eternity.

²⁹O humanity, bow to your Sovereign Divine,

   Who grants the earth as a bed, the heavens a sign.

³⁰From rain, He brings forth fruits for your need,

   No equals have He—on this, all should heed.

³¹Messengers He sent, books He revealed,

   Calling to Him alone, their covenant sealed.

³²"Worship Allah, and avoid all false ties,"

   Said prophets of truth with heavenly replies.

 

The Five Pillars: Foundations of Faith

³³From belief flows duty, the pillars five,

   That keep the essence of Islam alive:

³⁴The Shahādah declares Allah’s sole sovereignty,

   That Muḥammad, His Messenger, delivered with clarity.

³⁵The prayer that rises, day and night,

   Connecting the soul to divine light.

³⁶Charity flows, purifying the heart,

   From wealth, a believer’s generous part.

³⁷Through Ramadan's fast, the soul refines,

   Enduring hunger for Allah’s signs.

³⁸To His sacred House, the pilgrims go,

   In unity, faith’s devotion they show.

³⁹The Shahādah shines, the creed’s foundation,

   Free from false gods and futile imagination.

⁴⁰"Allah is the Truth," declares the Qur'an,

   While all else worshipped is but deception drawn.

 

Belief in Allah’s Sovereignty

⁴¹He, the Creator, holds the command,

   The heavens and earth crafted by His hand.

⁴²No partner shares His majestic reign,

   In His wisdom, all decrees remain.

⁴³"Allah is the Creator of all things,"

   Sustaining life with blessings He brings.

⁴⁴He governs the stars, the moon, the sun,

   Night chases day till their courses are done.

⁴⁵His throne above, His power complete,

   The Lord of worlds, to Him all retreat.

⁴⁶"Blessed is Allah, Lord of all beings,"

   Through Him, existence finds its meanings.

 

The Names and Attributes Divine

⁴⁷Through His Names, the sacred is known,

   Attributes of majesty uniquely His own.

⁴⁸No distortion, no likeness to creation’s frame,

   For "There is none like unto Him," Allah proclaims.

⁴⁹The scholars echo, in faith and creed,

   Accept the divine as revealed indeed.

⁵⁰"Istiwaʾ is known, its how is unseen,"

   Faith commands silence where doubt has been.

⁵¹From Mālik to Zuhri, the call is the same,

   Preserve the divine without casting blame.

⁵²Above the heavens, on the Throne, He reigns,

   Distinct from creation, His purity remains.

 

Guidance of the Scholars of Sunnah

⁵³Through tomes of knowledge, the truth extends,

   From the works of scholars, light descends:

⁵⁴Al-Sunnah, Kitāb al-Tawḥīd, and more,

   Preserve the creed for those who explore.

⁵⁵In sacred texts, the answers lie,

   For those who seek with an earnest eye.

⁵⁶Reason and scripture intertwine,

   Guiding the faithful to truth divine.

⁵⁷So, cling to this creed, with heart and soul,

   A path of clarity, the believer’s goal.

⁵⁸For those who stray from this luminous way,

   Fall to contradiction, their truths in disarray.
