Safia

She walks in beauty; in sheer elegance, whispered poignance,

In utter command, her emotions in check,

The smile on her face, her glistening eyes;

surely they hold back so much more than a heart can imagine,

those lips that upwards turn, sporting mirth;

surely they hold back dialogue 

that perhaps the heart solemnly withholds,

She truly inspires with her reminiscent attire;

that bun, that beautiful simple chain, and ever so light make up,

it show cased her beauty - inside out,

her very gesture as she showed up to attend

and share in the happiness of her hosts, 

despite her own immense riveting loss -

Oh so much strength! Oh so perfectly cultured! (masha'Allah)

Surely they must be proud while they rest before the Yawn Al Qiyamah? (insha'Allah)

For they have indeed raised a beautiful daughter! (masha'Allah)

May Allah swt bless her with the best of emaan and health

as she takes care of her family; her siblings, her all...

May they all live the best that this duniya has to offer,

and get the ultimate best in the Hereafter too...

~ Ameen.

A Supplication

Moonlight - Steven Sharp Nelson (inspired by Beethoven\'s Moonlight Sonata) The Piano Guys MP3 Download

To the farthest coldest place with in my heart, I had gone. Those were trips I made at the end of each disappointment, in hopes of finding solace in not feeling any more. You brought me back out of them. You took me to new heights. You told me that in patience was my reward. I travel today, back and forth from those cold regions of my heart, to the warm little corner of hope where in my faith delivers a lesson every day reassuring me of Your Promise. The dark and lonely places that Satan and his goons talk me into visiting; in them I remain not for long. Throughout my lost trips thus - You have been my Savior, my Pacifier, my Giver, my Sustainer, my Source of Infinite Strength. In You I lodge my desire to find that someone to share myself with; someone whom only You can Design and Bless me with. Someone who wants me as I am, because that is Your Plan, and You always and always Know best. To You I beseech, and from Your Bounty I beg for the blessing of such a righteousness that will save me from my nafs, allowing me to enjoin with a similarly aspiring someone on a journey of this life; leading to an eternity designed by the Best of Planners, You  Subhaaná wataÁllah!

InÁllaha maásaábireén... InÁllaha maásaábireén... InÁllaha maásaábireén... again and again and again, on repeat I remind my weak self. To tears I will not reduce myself. In tears I will not linger, for You are Abound, and I can't possibly fall weak when You are Waiting for me to fall into Your Assurance of Peace. Just a little more patience, I remind myself... Just a little more duá, and a little more faith. In their wake - sabr - duá - a'qida - lies my happiness, inshaAllah... 


Ameen.

Not Poor, Not Hopeless, Not Dead

The Piano Guys



It gushes forth on repeat... this froth of loneliness... this marinated blah-ness that perhaps takes birth from an emptiness... an emptiness that is bred through a vicious cycle of not knowing who I am, as opposed to who I want to be, and think myself to already being. Music, movies, pictures; all in their own stead try to bring to me a peace, not very long lived albeit. Words; read or written too, do only so much. What remains at the end of it all is still a me, by myself, desperately holding on to chants that beseech The One God in Whose Existence I leave my sanity to mould as He so Deems right. Perhaps that time - my time - is yet to come, for today it definitely was not here; yet again. In the mystery of this riddle I bequeath myself, empty but not poor - miserable but not hopeless - tired but alas, not dead.
