Al Sufian


iconSufa 18 - The Male (Al-Zakar)

1O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Zakar;
2The Male, the Masculine;
3And the sixteenth name of Allah, the One, the Absolute, the Almighty.
4The companion, gatherer and protector;
5The half by which life is conceived;
6The strength, the warrior, the brave;
7Allah is indeed masculine. Yet Allah is also feminine.
8To deny the feminine in favor of the masculine,
9Is to deny the existence of the night in favor of the day;
10Or to deny the existence of the sun in favor of the rain.
11Such thinking is without sensibility, and foolish.
12To deny the night in favor of the day;
13Or to deny the rain in favor of the sun.
14The Male is but one half and can never be properly whole unless with a woman.
