Canopy of God’s Will

By Ahmed Ali 4 Sha 35 ◦︎ 2 Jun 14
Explanation far beyond my intellectual reach!
Canopy of God’s Will, revelation have me teach
 
Problem of determinacy, how I reconcile,
God freewill, problem understanding in exile
 
How the mind flow between these two very,
Daring understandings makes divine airy
 
Explanation far beyond my intellectual reach!
Canopy of God’s Will, revelation have me teach
 
Aristotle, Plato, Newton all tried this to discuss,
Problem that some call philosophers greatest mental fuss,
 
Give eternal will to God, turn me into a Robot,
Give me that will, the creativity is what I bought
 
Where do I stand! Avicenna, Alpharabius all just were,
Awed by the over-eternal discussion still not clear,
 
Explanation far beyond my intellectual reach!
Canopy of God’s Will, revelation have me teach
 
Strokes of pen that colored the pages of history,
Read’ em all still so confused, hurt all so badly,
 
Ibn Malik say just in this topic don’t devolve,
Just be sincere and let your life only evolve,
 
IbnTaymiyyah came and cleared for many and all,
Say He, Free-will just within the Will of God befall,
 
Explanation far beyond my intellectual reach!
Canopy of God’s Will, revelation have me teach.
