One Tear Drop

One tear drop rolls slowly down her cheek,
but what was the cause of this emotional peak?
Was this the mark of fears untold?
Or of the joy, not even the strong could hold?
Did the tear betray a simply sad story?
Or a memory of days full of pride and glory?
Was this the tear for the loss of a love?
Or in thanks for a gift bestowed from above?
One tear drop rolled down her cheek,
but of the cause she does not yet speak.
This simple feeling that she let fall away,
was one she did not mean to display.
It is a moment meant only for her heart,
not shown for the world to destroy or part

9 Hardest Times of Your Life...

1. Being questioned when you yourself don’t understand.
2. Pretending to be innocent of what you are guilty about.
3. Trying to forget something you know you never will.
4. Admitting you were wrong after you have been so insistent that you were right.
5. Debating with yourself.
6. Accepting the fact that some things are not meant to be.
7. Trying to understand when you just can’t.
8. Realizing that you’ve been fooled after you’ve given your whole trust.
9. Parting with and letting go of someone who made you believe in love again.

Everything so wild

She is going insane

Can she turn back, can she stop right now?
Will her heart, in this state remain?

Memories of you flood her mind
Your laugh rings like a sweet chime in her ears

In her sky you shall forever shine
And she'll be thinking of you over the many years.

As she sees your face amongst the crowd,
She turns to hide away from you any trace of pain

Deep inside, all she wants is to see you smile
Forever and for always, through all of time.

Despite any tear that may flow from her eyes,
And any hurt she may feel in her heart,

Your happiness will bring her joy,
Whether you are eternally together or always apart.

--------

Stay Safe

Alone I Stand

So empty this feeling I have inside...
The solution is there... So simple.. But oh so hard to apply.

The tears fill my eyes...
And I remember your smile.

Will I see you again?
Will it ever be the same?

Your image is engraved in my heart...
And my soul calls out your name.

What is it about you?
I just cannot explain.

So secure in your arms...
I felt so safe.

No where I'd rather have been...
No other place.

But alas, here I stand...
Alone.

How I wish you were here with me...
How I wish for you to stay.

He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful

---

And if Allah touches you with hurt, there is none who can remove it but He; and if He intends any good for you, there is none who can keep back His favour; He brings it to whom He pleases of His servants; And He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Qur'an Surah Yunus; 10:107

Heaven at your feet...

There are times when you are lost in a world...
A world where you forget what really matters.
There are things that once were of high stature in your life but now are neglected..
There are people who mean the world to you yet are now forgotten...

Walking down memory lane I came across every moment that made my heart jump
I came across every person whom my heart smiled to...
However, above every thing I cherished in one way or another in my life, mum and dad, you are right there at the very top.

On top of the world, emanating your light upon me, and showing me the way...
Your perfect love is of outstandingly indescribable traits.
The joy you bring to my soul with just a smile I can neither define nor explain...
Your eternal pleasure and love do I yearn to attain...
The key to Paradise is only in your hand, and it is at your feet that heaven does lay.

Nothing more than a delusion

"Haroon ar-Rasheed (r) once prepared a lavish banquet and adorned his castle with the adornment of this dunya. He invited so many guests, and as the special guest, he invited the famous poet Abul A’tahiyah. When he arrived, Haroon ar-Rasheed said "Describe for us this bounty, this beauty we are now in.” The poet said: "Live as you wish, safe, in the shade of the towering castles.” Haroon ar-Rasheed said: "This is excellent.” Abul A’tahiyah said: "That whatever you desire is brought to you whether it is in the morning or evening.” Haroon ar-Rasheed said: "This is beautiful! Then what is next?” Haroon ar-Rasheed broke down in tears for the poet said:

"When the souls quiver in the shade of the rattling chest at that moment then you will know for certain that all of this was nothing more than a delusion.”

The moment to cast off laziness...

A Quote From Salahuddeen Ayyoobi

[Abu Shamma, Kitab ar-Rawadatain (History Book)]

We hope in Allah - Subhannah wa Ta'aala - Who leads the hearts of Muslims to calm [concerning] what torments them and ruins their prosperity.

Where is the sense of honour of the Muslims?...
The pride of the Believers?..
The zeal of the Faithful?.

We shall never cease to be amazed at how the disbelievers - for their part - have shown trusts, and it is the Muslims who have been lacking in zeal. Not one of them has responded to the call. Not one intervenes to straighten what is distorted; but observe how far the Franks have gone. What unity they have achieved. What aims they pursue. What help they have given. What sums of money they have borrowed and spent. What wealth they have collected and distributed and divided amongst them[selves]. There is not a king left in their lands or islands, not a lord or a rich man who has not competed with his neighbours to produce more support and rival his peers in strenuous military efforts. In defence of their religion they consider it a small thing to spend life and soul; and they have kept their infidel brothers supplied with arms and champions of war; and all they have done and all their generosity has been done purely out of zeal for him [who] they worship in jealous defence of their faith.

The Muslims, on the other hand, are weakened and demoralised; they have become negligent and lazy, the victims of unproductive stupification and completely lacking in enthusiasm. If - Allah forbid - Islam should draw reign, obscure her splendour, blunt her sword there would be no one, east or west, far or near who would blaze the zeal for Allah's Deen, or choose to come to the aid of Truth against falsehood. This is the moment to cast off laziness, to summon from far and near all those men who have blood in their veins; but we are confident (Note: Our Brother in Islam speaks concerning himself and the small party of believers who began with him and who then became a large party); but we are confident thanks to Allah - Alhamdulillaah - in the help that will come from Him and [we] entrust ourselves to Him in sincerity of purpose and deepest devotion.

All mankind is from Adam and Eve...

“... All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood.... O People! No Prophet or Apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O People! and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Qur’an and my Sunnah (i.e., sayings, deeds, and approvals) and if you follow these you will never go astray..."

-PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAW, IN HIS LAST SERMON-

Stranger N Proud!

Silent Stares...
Nervous smiles...
Hesitant steps taken towards me...

With the words of Tawheed engraved in my heart I approached the world with my smile.

What ran through their minds, I wondered, as my eye made contact with theirs?
It didn't matter, and I didn't care.

Oppressed they thought I was? Uneducated? Not Free?
A stranger in this world I walked in...
Covered from head to toe, I upheld this Deen
But as much as they stared, they simply were too blind to see.

With unshakable faith, I continued to smile
Surrounded by an army of Angels, and heaven in my eyes,
As strange as I looked, I would never step down
Forever I will hold my head up high, forever proud!

All Praise be to You

The priceless bounties You have bestowed upon me
I can neither thank You nor praise You sufficiently
With every particle of air I inhale and exhale
I am aware that You are with me without any fail
And when my pain sees no end and my eyes are swollen from tears
To You I turn to comfort me, eradicating my fears
I turn away from the world as the world turns away from me
And alone I remain... Nobody to understand what I want nor what I need
So while my eyes cry from joy and as my heart bleeds from pain
It's only You Allah I thank and praise
For it is only You that can comfort, cherish and sustain.

I wish I may... I wish I might

So sleepless.. I spend my night in sighs...

The tears sting as I yearn for just one look into your eyes.
Just a glimpse of you... And a glimpse of your smile...
I continue to wait for this dream, hoping it soon to come into near sight...
Yet so distant it seems, it is making the pain hard to fight...
But I still wish I may... and I still wish I might...
Be the one you wish for every night

Struggling

So Afraid to cross that line...
My heart is in fear...
My soul cries out to You oh Allah
Yearning to taste the sweetness of this faith, so dear...

Free me from these dunya chains...
For I am struggling to break free...
I know that with every breath You are with me,
So, liberate my soul and save it from drowning in this worldly sea

Yaa Rabb, make my nafs not one to be tempted by the treasures of this prison
Trapped I feel, with nowhere to go... Make Your Qur'aan my only guidance
Struggling I am... I need You ya Allah, I need You to give me strength,
This life is of no worth, Yaa Rabbi accept from me when I repent...

I want to be strong...
Yet I'm struggling through...
Allow me to taste the purity of iman...
Allow me to feel the tenderness of being close to You...

Alhamdu Lillah

Suddenly things appear so bleak and the picture seems unclear.
My eyes burn as they fill with tears and I turn my back on this world.
Restless and unable to think straight, my only desire is to just walk away.
Fatigue overcomes me and my eyes struggle to remain open.
My body is weak and the only comfort I seem to find is in the pages of the Book.
With words that speak straight to me, I am reminded of the sole purpose of this Life
And with the soothing verses of its chapters, my heart is overwhelmed with content,
The content that only exists with faith and reliance on The Lord, Almighty.
So even when the heart is bleeding, and the tears are falling,
Look up at the sky... Raise your hands up high.
The Most Supreme, The Sublime will most definitely respond to your cry...
Alhamdu Lillahi Rabbil 'Aalameen

Be Mindful of Allah

On the authority of Abu Abbas Abdullah the son of Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

One day I was behind the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and he said to me: Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]:

Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.

Allah Knows

Just one step at a time
As hard as it may seem
With Allah by your side
You'll make it through

The entire world and all that is in it may stand against you
But know they will not harm you without His will

So be strong
Smile
Praise God
For you are truly blessed

A long road it is
With no one on your side but He
So hold your head up high
Know you are loved

They can try to bring you down
They can try to quiet you
But they will not succeed
No, they will not.

Do not stoop to their level
Be better than them
And insha'Allah you are

Because Allah Knows
He sees all... He hears all
So hold your tears in
Don't let them get to you
Allah Knows...

Darkness to Light

Chillin’ and hangin’ with your crew;
With your Islam, are you being true?
What a sad state our ummah has become;
Disintegrated when we once stood strongly as one.
How long will this continue for?
When will we finally awake?
Return to sincerely following Allah’s law,
And cease putting our reputation at stake....

Let Islam ascend like the sun,
Let it shimmer and shine upon everyone;
Bow down to none other than Allah the Almighty One,
Repent, erase the past, what’s done is done.

Let the tears of repentance flow from your eyes,
Taste the sweetness of returning to the Great One, The Wise.
Feel the beauty of Islam warm you up from inside;
Let its splendour overwhelm you; may you reach Paradise.

The freedom of belonging to the Sublime;
Blessed with the gift of the Holy Quran,
A book like no other, limited to neither place nor time;
Sent as a blessing to all of mankind.

So turn your back on the world,
And raise your hands up to the sky,
Make dua to your Lord
And let Islam carry you from darkness to light.

A Child

Our embellished dreams desire you

To abide in them and be lighted.

And we wait for the day to see you

In the future shining as the greatest

The concept of Life was explained to me for hours and days;

And revealed to me lyrics of the loveliest words.

Yet, as Baffled and amazed that I was,

Nobody depicted life better than your angelic gaze,

Verses of poetry, in your eyes, I can see;

Serene Tunes from your lips, I can hear, summon for me;

Such beautiful tunes and melodies produce joy in my heart;

As the universe sings the song that asserts and declares for you my love;

A blessed life it is, seeing it in your eyes

Do not fear and do not cry,

We will be Forever by your side

Dear Friend

Oh my dear who has gone; what am I to do but be patient?

We met thinking we will never separate; and now we have separated knowing we may never meet again...

Because of the needs of life, there is no choice other than to go… to leave.

I watch the sun set and it is as if its setting rays are swords striking my heart;

The heart begins to beat rapidly and between the beats all I hear is a voice calling…

Good bye...

Good bye...

The tongue cannot possibly express what the heart and emotions truly wish to say....

And with the “good bye... good bye”

The tongue means: STOP STOP

Stop this pain and just leave...

Every hour I spent with you passes through my mind...

And the desire to see you again increases with each moment.

But I know it is not possible for another meeting right now

So I just continue to burn on the inside pretending everything’s alright.

And the complaints continue to my soul as I fall apart hour after hour and day after day;

The tears of sadness trickle down albeit knowing the uselessness of it all

My friend:

How beautiful being around you was.

YOU - My Mate

You are to me all time and place,

So passionate, So alive, you have left me in a craze

Your eyes are an empty piece of land,

In which I see nothing but your heart beats' pace,

I drowned in those beautiful eyes of yours,

Destroying in my heart all pain; not leaving any trace.

You showed me affection in all different ways,

Your charming demeanor is one full of grace

You are everything to me, My life... My mate...

You are all that I wish to hold, love and embrace,

And finally, you helped me remain on The Road so Straight...

And Upon God the Almighty we send all Praise
