New piece

Apologies to readers & those checking in, as i had some much needed time away.
In my break I wrote another piece for HabibiHalaqas.org which can be seen here : http://www.habibihalaqas.org/2012/04/dealing-with-lust-and-greed.html


Change affects us all in different ways, it's all about how we choose to handle it.


A natural part of life

In the beauty of a moment,

Change takes place,

It must be absorbed,

Welcomed and embraced.

No need for fear, face it,

No running,

No racing,

You can not hide from it,

Change enters all places.

It can inspire your passions,

Ignite your dreams,

Open the doors that were once unseen.

Change is wisdom,

From your Lord above,

Learn and grow from it,

Replace fear of change with love

Jumm'ah Reminder

Deaths in Syria are on the increase and the stories about their treatment is getting worse, those who are protesting and those who aren't.
This poem was made a while back but still holds relevant  for Syria and other countries still suffering.
Keep them in your prayers this Jumm'ah and every day that follows until they are free from this oppressive regime In sha Allah (God-willing).

Jumm'ah Reminders

A great reminder from Muhammad Al Shareef on the value of time and how to use it wisely to get the best of this life and the next In sha Allah.

Poem for Habibi Halaqas

Asalamu Alaikum everyone,

Apologies for a day late posting, but here is another new poem written for the website Habibi Halaqas, which provides webinars, articles and much more for sisters. Here is their link for more information : http://www.habibihalaqas.org/.

Soul

My soul,

Hold on,

Be strong,

Not long,

You weren’t made for this world,

It’s the next you belong.

Fighting through a worldly maze,

Struggling in this delusional haze,

Attempting to promise you eternal bliss,

Knowing you’re not here to stay.

This world can be deceiving,

Manipulate people into believing,

That there is always time left,

So dreams they delay achieving.

The soul needs reminding,

The world is temporary to abide in,

It needs direction to guidance,

Protection from misguiding.

Our soul, the most valuable possession,

A price cannot be made,

Our daily companion for this dunya we reside in,

Many tests that must be faced.

Keep it guarded, it's a treasure ,

Hold it close it's your tool,

The Day of Judgement ever nearer,

Your soul, rejoicing or against you.

Which one will it will it be ?

Feel free to leave comments & stay blessed.
