Praise Allah

By neQiniso Abdullah

Praise Allah, Mighty and great,
Who knows our past and guards our fate,
Who formed us from moistened clay;
To whom else, then, shall we pray?

Praise Allah, Eternal and Wise,
Who hears our laughter and hears our cries,
Who paves a straight and narrow way;
To whom else, then, shall we pray?

Praise Allah, the Merciful One,
Who has no mother nor a son,
Who keeps our feet from going astray;
To whom else, then, shall we pray?

Praise Allah, the only God,
We dare not act without his nod,
Since by His grace we live this day;
To whom else, then, shall we pray?
