ON WORSHIPING GOD

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The names mentioned here in my poem are those of renowned mystics and gnostics as well as those of famous poets of the world. Al Hallaj was a mystic who was executed by the religious clerics of Baghdad during the rule of the Abbasids (My reference to that time as "Enlightened Baghdad"). He was accused of blasphemy just because in his divine trance-like spiritual awareness of God Almighty (The Truth) he often repeated "I am the Truth" (Annal Haqq in Arabic). So he died at the hands of those who reveled in ritualistic worshiping of the Almighty.
The Azaan is the call for prayer to Muslims around the world. Bilal is the first man who performed the Azaan after conversion to Islam during the time of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). Even today the Azaan that is performed in Makkah is like a spiritual awakening inviting Muslims to come and worship the Almighty Creator and in my poem here I have only expressed the honesty and earnestness desired by the true lover of God to echo in the call for prayer...in other Islamic countries of the world...
