The light
It all started as a wakeup call,
a call to mankind and jinn,
a favor lowered down to earth,
through hard and good times it poured along,
adding meaning and value to everyday life

it cleansed old barbaric Arab tribes,
full of tribal and ethnic feud they were,
its soothing influence spread like daylight,
as far east to China and west to Rome,
it reconciled man with the almighty god,
in a manner only befitting a divine call,
it reconciled man with the al-alamin,
a task in which all hope was lost,

some say it was tales of the ancients,
some say it is mere poetry,
some believe it prose,

lost they are all in a perpetual cross,
its rhymes and lyrics too unique to be classified as such,
the greatest poets and orators attempted to put forth,
the likes of it they never could,

the contemporary secular world has come to terms,
it is the most unique book that ever was,
light upon light is what it brings,
opening hearts that never were,

thus, mankind and jinn has never seen,
a light so bright the noble one,
the Qur'an, which is light and guidance.
