COMPLETE ONENESS
Ibn Abd Allah, (s.w.a)
You shine like no other,
Accepted hard ships from one to another,
You keep the best adabe with every single brother,
The connection to the highest who had perfect character.
The first to be mentioned and the first to be honored,
Deep in the ocean of the universe, he wasn’t bothered,
The pen wrote there is only one God but God,
For seventy thousand years,
Writing this fills corneas with tears,
It makes bones shiver because God we fear.
The pen wrote Muhammedan Rasulalah, (s.w.a.)
For seventy thousand years,
Moreover, Gods words you cannot cut with sheers,
Therefore, we point with our finger Rabitah Shariffa.
The biogenesis of his life I would not play,
Al-Araf (s.w.a) said,
“I was a prophet when Adam was in-between
Water and clay.”
Sahib ul Miraj (s.w.a),
Master of the night journey,
Muhammed Ibn Abd Allah’s (s.w.a) reality,
This was mentioned from God almighty,
“He was created before creation and occurred
In pre eternity.”
If you were a believer,
Then there has to be a reviver,
After when Muhammedan (s.w.a.) left this life forever.
There was a restorer,
Someone who came as fervor,
A supporter of the secret of the messenger (s.w.a.).
He was annihilated,
Through Ibns (s.w.a.) connection oceans of knowledge was transmitted,
With his pious features he was gifted,
To the heavens above, he was lifted,
Until he reached the station of the beloved.
This religion he protected he was unique,
His name was Abu Bakar As-Siddiq (q. a. s),
The truthful one who was also called,
Al-Atiq (q. a. s),
He used Sufi tools as a technique.
No sun has ever risen on such a person,
God elevated his ranks amongst the companions,
Flourishing in the lights of the heavens,
He carried much deprivation in his burdens.
He was a poet and the bravest of the brave,
The second of the two that was in the cave,
He freed Bilal (q. a. s) in Mecca and seven other slaves,
From the holy prophet, he received many praise.
Twenty-second Jumada L Akhir,
He left this life between the evening and night prayer,
Imam of imams passed the tradition
His future successor was a Zoroastrian.
He always kept to his religious obligation,
He also avoided food that was forbidden,
Always shunned innovation and his heart was
Free from detestation,
For this, he got to the station of one.
His name was Tayfur Abu Yazid Al-Bistami (q. a. s),
The one who reached annihilation through God almighty,
The one in Bistam people thought was crazy,
God Bestows whom he wills ardently.
The sixth in the sisalah he came to know god through the
Light of ilah,
God grants his servants with a favor,
The purpose is to bring that mureed closer,
Tayfur said, “The goal of a Sufi is to see Allah in the hereafter,”
It’s a life long commitment as well as an endeavor.
Allah dressed Bayazid (q. a. s) with his lights and attributes,
His “will” he contributed and found consonants,
The dhiker of “huuuu;” he was lost in the ethos,
Al-Bistami (q. a. s) was always in complete remembrance.
He obtained excellent health,
For twelve years he worked as a blacksmith on himself,
Trying to destroy the hidden traits of the self,
For this, he gained knowledge in trade for wealth.
He spent five years polishing his heart,
One year wrapped in unbelief, that left a black mark,
He depleted eight-teen years of his life just to embark,
On a journey, into the light and out of the dark.
Allah opened up the vision of all creation,
Yazid said (q. a. s), “The slave possesses nothing,
When he dies he this world with nothing.”
If you are something, then you’re left with spiritual
Imitation,
The abhorrence of plastic fruits you are tasting.
Bayazid Al-Bistami (q. a. s) devoutly sprit prevailed,
For seventy years Bayazid (q. a. s) was veiled,
Through the story of his life we could endure,
There are secrets on how to set sail and prosper more,
As he passed away, he said, “I left this life at the age of four.”
May Allah forgive me and bless whom whoever so reads this poem.
FATIHA…
