At the beginning of this book, in the name of the knowing God, Ghazal 1 from Saadi
Description: The first Ghazal from Divan of Saadi Shirazi.
This beautiful ghazal by Saadi Shirazi praises the wisdom and greatness of the Creator. It opens by acknowledging God as the omniscient and omnipotent maker of the universe. It marvels at the beauty and perfection of God's creation, from the simplest creatures like insects to the mighty elements of nature.
The poem emphasizes the notion of divine providence, stating that every being, no matter how insignificant, receives its sustenance from God. It highlights the intricacies of creation, such as the transformation of water into honey by bees and the growth of a palm tree from a tiny seed. Saadi reflects on how even the smallest needs of creatures are known and provided for by the omniscient God.
In conclusion, Saadi humbly acknowledges the limitations of human understanding and language in fully expressing the magnitude of God's greatness. He admits that while he speaks to the best of his understanding, the true essence of divine perfection is beyond human comprehension.
