For the sake of Allah

What words can be brought upon to ensure its actuality?
What days can pass without a glance at reality?
...And only then can I say, I too have a dream far beyond spiritual fatality.

Ya Rabbi, save us from ignorance and teach us our deen and
grant us the means to live accordingly.

Aameen

Doubt

It's tingling in my spine
A kick in my gut I can't deny
This feeling isn't a lie
It's the doubt in my head
Deep down in my gut
The cold hearted stare
No doubt these affairs
Veiling the trembling nightmares
It's rare, but I gotta steer clear
My heart says, its untruly unfair

Intend

An intention is an incentive to follow through with an action. If you intend something, don't delay it. If you intend something for the ones you love, express it to them, it can save them. If you intend something for your own betterment, do it now. If you intend to do something in life, plan it out now and the best intention of all intentions for it to bring khayr to you. If you intend something for your children, make it known to them. If you intend to trust your children, constantly remind them. If you intend to not do something, don't do it. If you intend to change your life to leave the bad behind, make the move now. If you intend, intend soundly. If you intend, intend wholeheartedly. If you intend, intend for the sake of Allah. If you plan and then intend, rewind your move and intend then plan. If you plan, plan with acceptance of Allah (swt)'s plan. Intend to accept that plan with a smile. Intend to stay clear of doubt in belief and fate if your intended plan and thoughts don't go as planned. There's a reason, a way, some reality you need to face. Intend to be you. Intend to please The One who deserves to be Pleased. Intend to please those whom are beloved to The One who deserves to be pleased. Intend to obey those Whom He (swt) wishes you to obey. Intend to love and care for your parents with respect and honor. Intend... Intend before the last breath escapes from the lips of your last moment. Intend to forgive. Intend to forget. For if it helps, intend to move on. Intend to repent.

Intend to believe... The ummah is one. A part of it aches, the whole of it aches.

Intend, plan, trust.

Alienated Ties


This pain that my heart bares isn't enough
It wont change what happened
It wont unshackle the cuffs
I want to close my eyes and go back in time
Back to our home, behind the fence, into the night
Our laughs, our dreams, our wonderment
Will this friendship last or fade into nothingness

We had our moments, our times of grief
The laughs all pointing at me, as the tears roared
But you always came back, always to reassure
I felt safe, my nest in my tree up high from below
It became obvious, the lines leading in one direction
Not strangers, but living as a family
Looking up I'd see, pieces of me shining identically

We'd travel through, I knew there was no chance
No blood, no tears, no soul could break through
Perhaps I led myself into a deceiving trance
One mistake, one hundred hearts in dismay
I loved you, I loved you so as the imprint I saw
I applaud you for your step far ahead

Pointing toward a mistake you'd like to mend
You took in a hand, you took in another life
You broke a diamond you held so very close
But it was vital to keep the blood in flow
You didn't know, I assume, you needed to take it slow
A guide to keep you from another blade
Your faith didn't help, because you broke far away

On a silver plate, placed on a velvet cushion
Placing it gently onto the center of your chest
This is who you are now, no way of pulling in the past
Before them you bring a gift greater than life
A perspective to life, a journey of truth
All your tears shed are sequenced in my mind
I do not know, I only dispose with what I find

My advice to you, my only words
Take it into your palms and grab your fist
Place your hand over your heart and grab the gist
I want you to know, with time my heart will mend
Regrow the buds and bloom with petals
You'll be who you were, near and close to my heart
I considered you and only you can be
Upon the surface and into the depths of the sea

Transient

I see her prancing through the sparks
A fairy with a wand engraving its existence
onto the bare surface of her hand
Swaying with the crackling force of wind
Her tiny toes sweeping across the sand
Running through the lighting bolt of a firecracker
I hear the laugh, blending with the howl of wind

Not an atoms weight of existence would know
Each gleam with her smile is another tear
Storming across her cheeks along a paved path
Holding on with one grip, because she sees
She sees a nebula of light in her path

The clouds form, shadowing a storm
Her face lights up with specks of rain
Arms wide out, smiling without a muscle strain
Letting herself go in the nightly storm
flying, flying, letting her wings form

Facing toward the direction of extinguished wrath
Her laugh echoing in the space between night and day
Her light will never fade, she lives in each shining ray
Even time and space couldn't extricate her hope
She freezes in time to see her demons filching it away

Weakening is her soul, left in a sepulchral light
She eagerly refuses any glance of this sight
She closes her eyes tight to see day even in the sorrow of night
