Ramadhan Mubarak to everyone !

May Allah swt guide us on the straight path and make us stronger believers! Please remember me in your precious duas !

I’m sharing this awesome poem, which I received through mail. Hope everyone enjoys it and ponders over its message as we welcome the month of ramadhan. Only Allah swt knows whether we will be alive to see another ramadhan, I fervently pray to Allah swt to show me and all of us the straight path and make us grateful servants.Ameen.

One night I heard a knock on my door;
Who can it be,I wasn't quite sure.
I open the door and am filled with glee;
The visitor ahead is no stranger to me.

I welcome the guest with utmost delight;
For I know it has come to give me respite.
An air of happiness fills the space;
My home now seems, a better place!

Have you any clue who this visitor could be?
Yes! its Ramadhan,the month of mercy.
The pious and righteous can't await its arrival;
Others seem to greet it, with waves of denial.

For Allah(SWT) we fast from dawn to dusk;
For Him our breath is the fragrance of musk.
The muslims who pray and fast with zest;
Are aware of the rewards of this month manifest.

Throughout this month we weep and repent;
Now is the time to strongly lament.
And those who shun this sacred month;
on the Day of Reckoning will face the brunt.

In the last ten nights,hides the Night of Decree;
Allah(SWT) then awaits for his slaves to plea.
The angels descend with Gabriel(AS) in the lead;
To check on the steadfast and record every deed.

A feeling of grief now fills my heart;
As the month of Ramadhan will soon depart.
So lets make a start and worship Him alone;
Now that the worth of this month is known

Persevere

I feel like a little boat lost in the midst of an ocean, not knowing where to turn for solace and relief.This is when I close my eyes and think deeply, so deep and remember my Allah. At times I feel that I have made wrong decisions, but I know that cannot be the case, as I always sought for guidance from my lord before each decision. It’s a test, a trial, something I should see through with my faith.

At times it’s a test where immorality dominates the day. Being encircled by those who are licentious to the deepest sense of the word is at times so disgusting. At times I wish to withdraw, may be use an invisible cloak to hide myself from these displays of promiscuity. It’s not possible, or rather it should not be the kind of resolution I should posses, as a believer should be strong. His true colours are portrayed by the way he represents himself amidst all constraints.

Patience and prayers are the 2 most powerful weapons in my arsenal. I will persevere with hope. A hope that will strengthen me with each step I take. I will fight back; I will preserve my values in the best sense, although I know it’s a tedious task. It will take a lot of courage, but I know that as long as I place my trust in my Allah, nothing is impossible, inshallah.

Less than perfect!!!

Life’s experiences had taught me many lessons; the ability to anticipate and accept what’s less than perfect, has been one it taught me very recently. Although I lived through many experiences which were less than perfect, it wasn’t a choice I made myself, but rather what Allah swt had destined for me. This time it’s a bit different, I myself have chosen to live in, to accept something that isn’t the most ideal.

It’s an emotional decision I have made, I know it’s a tough one, but I’m focused on the reward, the reward Allah swt would endow upon me for accommodating despite the inconveniences to myself. I feel elated in a sense, it’s a sign that I’m growing up, not only growing older. A sign of a mind which is driving towards unselfishness, a mission I could only achieve with the guidance of my lord. I pray to him sincerely that he will assist me in my noble cause, to be someone better, a human being who lives for others but himself.
