ALLAH
I tried to find Him on the
Christian cross, but He was not there;
Christian cross, but He was not there;
I went to the Temple of the Hindus
and to the old pagodas, but I could
not find a trace of Him anywhere.
I searched on the mountains and in
the valleys but neither in the heights
nor in the depths was I able to find Him.
I went to the Ka’bah in Mecca,
but He was not there either.
I questioned the scholars and
philosophers but He was beyond
their understanding.
I then looked into my heart
and it was there where He
dwelt that I saw Him;
He was nowhere
else to be found.
Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-73)
