Motivational Poetry for the Muslim Ummah..
It was quarter to twelve.
Street lights dimmed by the cold mist,
Worn out sock on one foot and a ripped leather shoe on the other,
Compassion folded the two dollar notes in his hands,

Do you want to know
What righteousness is?
Though, many seeds you can sow,
But the one obligation of His

As a purification
For all possessions.
O, how is man’s greed!
His Lord, he … Continue Reading
She stood with her head held high,
A shopper in hand among the bustling crowd;
Bargained with sales at the stall,
To not lose a penny in doubt.
A beggar came by asking her,

She opened her bag and pulled out,
Unhesitatingly, the largest bill.

The night descends,
And slumber strengthens;
The world quietens,

And eyes are teary,
To relieve this agony,

To the One Who created?
While there’s
A love story
In each venue,
In each moment,
In each position,
That gives you
Your breath in this busy world;
That gives you
A sense of direction,
A reason to smile,
A hope beyond that which anyone can offer.
Her favourite love story
Was always the Sujood,
Where she and her Maker
Were the only ones.
In the silence of the night
And in the darkness of a frail flickering candlelight,
She emerges with dampened skin,
Cladding her head with warm poplin.
Shivering body is soothed by the serenity from within.
She positions herself before Him .
Eyes set on the place of Sujood, hands raised,
And with an اللّه اكبرself readily enslaved.
