And came the raven and buried one of his companions and Abel knew what is to be done to Abel’s body– this was a revelation to the first murderer, the “original sinner” in Islam. They were God’s folk, they knew God as we know ourselves in the mirror and yet God had to carry his message through a raven! And where do I stand?!
I have been overstraining God (no humour intended) with my requests at a manifest, a lucid proof of the fulfilling of my wish. I have been giving ultimatums, time limits or chances so as to say, to God the Almighty! Shall I too have waited for a raven to come?
This is established with me that I come from Cain’s side and should therefore wait in perdition for a raven to teach me to cover my sins.
But is it all? Who was my father (Cain) trying to hide this corpse from? Is he not my father in that I too fear to excite God’s ire and sin under a blanket, hiding what dirt comes off a sin from the sky? Is God just in the skies? Why only hurl some earth over the corpse if God be everywhere?
