Will I See You One Day?

I yearn so badly to see You one day.

A wish for which no amount of gold and silver could ever compensate

So strong a feeling it is in my heart, it burns like a fire...

So intense A prayer, it is greater than any other desire..

I ask: Will the good I have done in my life suffice?

Will my face on That Day be gloomy and grey or lit up so bright?

Or of seeing you, ya Allah, will my eyes be deprived?

Will I be of those who stand beneath Your shade on that remarkable Day?

My heart trembles of fear  when I think of what could be my fate..

And so I bow to You ya Allah and I Prostrate

I pray it is not too late..

So, I ask Ya Rabb, will I see You one day?

I know I deserve neither Your Grace nor Your Paradise

But I will ask for Your forgiveness and mercy till the day I die

So that I may drink from Those pure rivers of wine

And be in the  presence of the most blessed and greatest of mankind

And to wander through Your beautiful  Jannah, so divine..

So weak I am, and merely Your servant made from clay

But so Compassionate You are, so Mighty and so Great.

So, I ask Ya Rabb, Will I see You one day?

"That was the thing. You never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again, that shocking."
— Sarah Dessen

We Plan, but Allah is the Best of Planners

Allah’s Plans:

Some things are beyond planning. Life doesn’t always turn out as planned.
You don’t plan for a broken heart.
You don’t plan for an autistic child.
You don’t plan to be single forever.
You don’t plan for a lump in your breast. Or a disease. Or broken bones.

You plan to be young forever. You plan to climb the corporate ladder.
You plan to be rich and powerful. You plan to be acclaimed and successful.
You plan to conquer the universe. You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever.
You don’t plan to be sad. You don’t plan to be shattered. You don’t plan to be hurt. You don’t plan to be broke. You don’t plan to be betrayed. You don’t plan to be alone in this world.

Sometimes, if you work hard enough, you can get what you want. But MOST times, what you want and what you get are two different things.

We, mortals, plan. But so does Allah in the heavens. Sometimes, it is difficult to understand Allah’s plans, especially when His plans are not in consonance with ours. Often, when He sends us crisis, we turn to Him in anger.

True, we cannot choose what Allah wishes us to carry, but we can carry it with courage knowing that He will never abandon us nor send something we cannot cope with.

Sometimes, Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes, He allows pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes, Allah sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes, He allows illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
And sometimes, Allah takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything He gave us.

Make plans, but understand that we live only by Allah’s grace, His Fadhal(favour) and His Rahma (mercy)..

The Veil of Faith

If you cannot see beyond my headscarf, that I am a human being... That I have a mind... A heart... and a soul... Then something is wrong with your intellect and wisdom.

I am not unliberated... I am not uneducated nor am I oppressed.

I am not forced to dress in this way. I do this because I have chosen this way of life for myself & I do this out of love for God.

It brings me happiness, comfort & a connection with my Creator that you may never truly understand.

Why is this so hard to comprehend?
