None shares His glory, "He was..is,
shall be"..who this doth say
Accepts Mohammad as 'guide'
with heart and love's true sway;
None from amongst those lost their way
or ever went astray.
Bhitai has mentioned time (Past, present and future) here by saying that God was, is and will be present everywhere. Nobody shares his powers and glory. He then writes about the followers of Muhammad S.A.W. by saying that those people who make Muhammad S.A.W. as their guide never lost their way and fail in their lives.
Now the interesting thing to note here is the "way" or "destination" he is talking about. Similar to the first stanza, where counterpart of universe is unknown, here the unknown thing is the "way".
I've always loved the aspect of God as Omnipresent in past, current time and future...
Thanx for the beautiful reminder of what matters and to whom we can give our trust.
very true Riz and more so the first and second Stanza are all about sura Fatiha.
Dear Connie, thank you for reading my post. Yes according to Muhammad S.A.W., God is time... :)
Sir Akhtar, thank you for elaborating it further. Hmmm... Yes its true. Both stanzas are following Surah Fatiha.
The 5th verse of Surah Fatiha says "ihdinas siraat'u-al mustaqim" (Show us the straight path)
Similarly the definition of straight path is unknown here...
How I love to see Sir Akhtar interacting with such ageless timeless wisdom and truth and expounding further. I must set aside to explore further the certain referrals of which I am as yet ignorant, InshaAllah.
Keep up the really illuminating posts and reminders!
