The Judge of the Universe

God is the cardinal creator He is the generous giver He can rise a dead to life, being the grantor He can create a thing that existed never He gave what you have He knows whatever you know Your deeds drive Him to decide what to give As you deserve, He does sow From you, He has nothing to get He may test you before giving To test your devotion, test He may set To adjudge your faith and to ordain your living Divine dream driven to sacrifice his dearest son Candid command relates, not to a materialistic thing One that can’t be a supplant or substitute being beyond season Rather very well one, from his own being Being the one and only son, who was born of the Spirit, by the will of God for a centenarian father, with a divine reason as Abraham always adored Allah, for the overall good Yet his faith on God as the Judge of the universe, was not weaken Nor he took it as the biggest bitter pill to swallow His trust over Allah was not shaken Bewildering but bemused Abraham chose his dream to follow His wife too accepted the sacrifice, with pleasure She knows him as a man of noble character and an ‘apostle of Allah’ He was obedient to Allah and upright by nature He never knows then, he too shall stay in history as messiah Farewell kiss in the forehead of son, she gave Son too set forward amusingly unto the altar Execution was about to happen but Allah intervened to save To proclaim the faith of Abraham as an ever shining star This a terrific trial to test the deepness of devotion Act of Abraham is an exemplary example of selfless surrender Upholds the unity and understanding of a family, with a mention Obedience to God opens gates of riches, grace, kindness and wonder! His firm faith is famed as the holy ‘Muslim festival of sacrifice’ Eid-ul-Adha ever confirms that God unfailingly rewards those who do right Faithful obedience to God like Hazrat Abraham, is suffice! Even in dark and dungeon, God shall give you then, hope and sight!! Above Poem is adapted from the eBook "BIRD OF PARADISE AND OTHER POEMS" by Mr.V.MUTHU MANICKAM. Copyrights reserved.
