Poem – 1
Son:
Dad, why I cannot see Allah if He is Great, Vast and
Lofty and yet I can see the mountain and the sky?
Dad:
Son, how can a “blind” man see Allah when even the Sun
he cannot see.

Son:
Dad, how is Allah All- Seeing, All- Hearing and All-
Knowing?
Dad:
Son, if the bottle in my hand now can see and hear, do
you agree that it surely knows what we are doing now?
Son:
I agree, Dad.
Dad:
Son, if this type of bottle is present in every place then do
you agree that it can therefore see, hear and know what is
going on at those places.
Son:
I agree, Dad.
Dad:
Son, Allah’s Essence is All Encompassing hence He is
All -Seeing, Hearing and Knowing.

Bird – Why are you crying Snowman when earlier on I saw you
laughing?
Snowman – I was laughing earlier on when I saw the ice on the lake
melted as it shows that Spring is here but now I realised
I am also ice and that is why I am crying.

Patient – Doc. I am really scared about the operation tomorrow
because if it failed then I will die.
Doctor – Do you ever been afraid that the Sun will not rise
tomorrow?
Patient – I have never been afraid, Doc.
Doctor – Do you also agree that whether you like it or not the Sun
will still rise tomorrow?
Patient – Agree, Doc.
Doctor – So whether you like it or not the operation tomorrow will
either be, a success or failure. You have to accept it as you
accept the Sun is rising tomorrow. You have no control over
it. Once you have accepted this fact, then there is nothing to
be afraid. This is called “Predestination”.

Son:
Dad, what is Predestination?
Dad:
Son, whatsoever you saw before and whatsoever you see
now and whatsoever you will see in the future is
“Predestination”.
______________________________________________________________
Son:
Dad, can Predestination be changed?
Dad:
Son, if Predestination can be changed it will cause
a lot of confusion to the extent that a Goat gives
birth to an Elephant.
Son – Poor Goat!
Dad – Son, you don’t pity the Goat, you send condolences!

Son:
Dad, how to trust God wholeheartedly?
Dad:
Son, do you know that the tree in front of our house
is almost 100 years old.
Son:
Yes, Dad. Grandpa once told me about it.
Dad:
Son, have you ever seen it moving in search of food?
Son:
No, Dad.
Dad:
And that is son, an example of trust of The Almighty
wholeheartedly.

Son:
Dad, how can we be totally subservient to God?
Dad:
Son, have you ever seen the Sun and the Moon taking
Vacation?
