I Went Out Poem by Mohammad Younus

Looking for Allah!
He asked me
To get out
Of my self;
and look at the heavens
and the earth,
and
whatever is in between;
I went out:
I saw not Allah!
But was convinced,
That this whole creation...
Is the manifestation..
of God's creative power;
Allah told me in the Qur'an:
'Allah is the Light...
of the heavens and the earth;
The parable of His Light is:
A niche,
within it a lamp,
the lamp in glass,
the glass a brilliant star,
lit from a blessed tree,
An olive,
neither of the east,
nor of the west;
whose oil would...
almost glow forth,
though no fire touched it;
Light upon Light!
Allah guides to His Light...
whom He wills;
And Allah sets forth...
parables for mankind';
It opened my eyes,
O Lord, you are unseen!
You are unseeable!
If you are light,
That is only a metaphor!
