He Who Brought You From Nothingness
A Profound Reflection on The Infinite Power of Allah
He is the One who brought you forth from nothingness…
From a tiny droplet, invisible to the eye, possessing neither the ability to push itself forward nor pull itself back—devoid of intellect, hearing, or sight.
He guided you through three layers of darkness, where you knew not who you were, nor where you were going, nor what awaited you after that mysterious stillness.
And suddenly—you became a human being, standing upright upon your feet. You could see, you could hear, you could think and feel, you could cry and laugh. And you could say: “I am.”
So what powerlessness is this that you imagine in a Lord who created you from nothing?
What despair is this that dwells within you, when your Lord is the One who brought you forth from between bones and flesh? Can He not bring you forth from between your worries and anxieties?
What distress is this that you imagine to be mightier than the dark, narrow womb in which you were created—without strength or power of your own?
He who fashioned you in secret will not abandon you in the open.
He who cared for you in the womb will not neglect you in the crowd.
He who brought you out from the darkness of non-existence is certainly capable of bringing you out from the darkness of pain.
But He—Exalted and Glorified is He—does not want you to come to Him only when you are in the light.
Rather, He wants you to crawl to Him in the darkness.
To whisper His name while tears stream down your cheeks.
To surrender your heart to Him before you surrender your tongue.
For it is in the depths of our helplessness that we discover the heights of His Power.
هو الذي أخرجك من العدم…
من نطفةٍ ضئيلةٍ لا تُرى، لا تملك لنفسها دفعًا ولا جذبًا، لا عقلًا ولا سمعًا ولا بصرًا..
ساقك في ظلماتٍ ثلاث، لا تدري من أنت ولا إلى أين تمضي ولا ما ينتظرك بعد هذا السكون العجيب.
فإذا بك إنسانٌ قائمٌ على قدميه، تُبصر وتسمع، تُفكّر وتُحسّ، تبكي وتضحك، وتقول: أنا
فأي عجزٍ هذا الذي تتوهمه في ربٍّ خلقك من لا شيء؟
أي يأسٍ هذا الذي يسكنك، وربّك هو الذي أخرجك من بين العظام، أفلا يُخرجك من بين الهموم؟
أي كربٍ هذا الذي تظنه أعتى من رحمٍ مظلمٍ ضيّقٍ خُلقت فيه بلا حولٍ ولا قوة؟
إن الذي سوّاك في الخفاء لن يتركك في العلن.
وإن الذي رعاك في الرحم لن يهملك في الزحام.
وإن الذي أخرجك من ظلمة العدم قادر أن يُخرجك من ظلمة الألم.
لكنّه—جلّ جلاله—لا يريدك أن تأتيه وأنت في النور فقط.
بل يريدك أن تزحف إليه في العتمة.
أن تهمس باسمه ودمعك على خدّك.
أن تُسلّم له قلبك قبل أن تُسلّمه لسانك.
ففي أعماق ضعفنا نكتشف عظمة قدرته
