intellect, or knowledge? Do you dare weigh the commands of Allah Almighty on the scale of your intellect? No! You were nothing, and He made you something. Therefore, bow your head before Him, embody humility and submissiveness, and call out from the depths of your heart: سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّیَ الْاَعْلٰی Glory be to my Lord, the Most High!”

The Second State of a Human

This was the first state; now we will explore the second state. Allah Almighty said:

فَاَحْیَاكُمْۚ-

then He granted you life

These are the glories of Allah Almighty! You were lifeless, and He gave you life; transforming a mere drop of water into a living, intelligent, strong, and powerful human being. How did He create us?

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ فِیْۤ اَحْسَنِ تَقْوِیْمٍ٘(۴)

We created man in the best form.^{^[1]}

A Punjabi poet praises Allah Almighty in a unique way. The poet reminds us that the things we are arrogant about, such as our beauty, youth, and power, are not our own achievements, but gifts from Allah Almighty. He writes:

نَکْ جَے مَتّھے اُتّے ہُوْنْدَا کَنْ جَے دَھْوْن دَے پِچّھے ہُوْنْدَے

اَکْھاں ہُنْدیاں مَوْڈَے اُتَّے وَکِّھی وِچْ اِکْ پُوْچَھل ہُوْنْدِی

گَوْڈَے دِیْ تَھاں پَسْلِیْ ہُوْنْدِی پَسْلِیْ دِی تَھاں گَوْڈَا ہُوْنْدَا

بَنْدَہ کِڈَّا کَوْجَا ہُوْنْدَا
