SubhanAllah = Glory be to Allah

Glory be to Him
Whose absolute Oneness … permits no duality
Existence exists not … Except through Him

Glory be to Him
Who decreed that … man Attain in duality
Leaving singularity … an attribute only for Him

Glory be to Him
Who created, fashioned … everything in pairs
Making unity a … category only unto Him

Glory be to Him
Who made us be not with … but through Him
For there is not withness … predicated to Him

Glory be to Him
Who taught us the … sound beliefs of creed
Making shirk the one … sin unforgivable by Him

Glory be to Him
Who created all … and sustains all
Everything is utterly … Dependent on Him

Glory be to Him
Whose gnosis is admitting … that His essence
Is but out of reach … for other than Him

Glory be to Him
Whose will is the … only will in reality
For no one can violate … what is decreed by Him

Glory be to Him
Whose command dictates … what is good/evil
And thus we attribute evil … never to Him

Glory be to Him
Who desired to be known … and thus Created
A desire through which … we come to know Him

Glory be to Him
Who veiled us all … behind 70,000 veils
All of which are… nothing other than Him

Glory be to Him
Who abdicated nothing … in His act of creation
Creation exists not … except to serve Him

Glory be to Him
Who taught us the… manners to glorify
There is nothing to glorify … other than Him

Glory be to Him
Glory be to Him
Glory be to Him
