AB  - This study is concerned with some of Adonis’s 
  poetry on Allah from three significant aspects. In one aspect, Adonis raises 
  doubt about the existence of the creator while in another he questions the need 
  to worship ilah or Allah that is in Arabic of the same root word with the word 
  ilah. Apart from that, Adonis questions the supremacy of ilah or Allah. These 
  three aspects on Allah in Adonis’s 
  poetry are interesting to be examined in view of Islamic creed on Allah because 
  the aspects questioned by Adonis are in parallel with the three tenets of the 
  Islamic creed on Allah that are the affirmation of Allah as the only khaliq, 
  creator that is in Islamic terminology tawhid rububiyyah, the affirmation of 
  Allah as the only worshiped ilah that is tawhid uluhiyyah and finally the affirmation 
  of Allah as the only ilah possessing supreme names and attributes that is tawhid 
  asma’ wa uifat. It is found that 
  the questioning of Allah in Adonis’s 
  poetry to some extent represents the questioning of God common in western modernism. 
  However, Adonis’s questioning 
  is more relevantly related to the conception of ilah or Allah in Islam in consideration 
  of the proximity of the poetical hints in Adonis’s 
  poetry with the aforementioned Islamic tenets of belief in Allah one of which 
  is directly referred to, i.e., rububiyyah, apart from Adonis’s 
  allusion to the historical background of the Muslim World and Adonis’s 
  assertions on ilah or Allah that contradict with some essential Qur’anic 
  verses on Allah. Thus, it can be concluded that Adonis displaces Allah from 
  the Islamic conception of God and that Adonis embraces atheism.
