In the dark of the night,
The young girl sat down
Alone, lonely, and secluded.
She was kneeling, bowing her head.
Strings of words spoken, softly,
“Allah, I am tired,
I am desperate,
I am stuck,
Feeling despicable, and sinful.”
She cried, sobbing.
Her gaze was diverted to the thing in front of her.
A book.
Clean and well maintained.… Continue Reading

“Such lovely weather!
Lemme take a good picture.”
“Hey, can you stop your banter?

And post it on Gram and Twitter!
What a sensational meme face!
Dear sisso, I look forward to your fame!”

The Phone Call
The phone rang; I received the call.
It was early morning―felt something was wrong.
Perhaps the news of somebody’s death!
On the call was a friend, narrating her ordeal at length.
It was indeed the news of a death―In her brother, imaan had just taken its last breath!
In the Almighty, he’d openly declared his rejection.
It was still difficult … Continue Reading
Can the Track Be Found Again?

She could be seen volunteering regularly
And conducting workshops occasionally;
While attending Islamic classes punctually,
She stood out in academics excellently.
“I want to become a doctor,” she declared,
“To become an asset for this ummah,” she cleared,
Thus … Continue Reading
What Is Sincerity?
“The religion is sincerity,”
Thrice repeated
Our beloved Prophet
To his companions dearest,
Who, with attention, listened.
They enquired, “To whom?”
“To Allah and His Book,
To His Messenger and the leaders,
And to their common Muslim brothers.”
This was the Prophet’s answer.
What does sincerity towards Allah mean?
It is to affirm that He is the One and Only,… Continue Reading
Survival of the Pious
My high school results were out,
It was time to enrol at a college and move on;
To pursue the career of my dreams,
I embarked on a journey that remained unseen;
Witnessing the college’s atmosphere, I was surprised,
At this place, Faith was hardly recognised.
To fit in this ‘secular’ environment and for socialisation,
I befriended many, despite the … Continue Reading
Secular Education–Yes or No?
My Dearest Teacher,
This little creature
Requests you to shed light
On something that needs insight.
“Do we only acquire Islamic teachings
And shun secular education?”
This question is causing confusion,
And I seek its answer in desperation.
My Dear Child,
I acknowledge your question,
By Allah’s leave, I’ll try to guide,
Just listen with full attention.
‘Iqra’, … Continue Reading
