On your path you went away

Left me to linger in despair
In this valley of shadows the climb is steep
The sun overcome by mountains of deeds
Misguided and some evil in nature
Above them is a red glow of a distant light
Some times I lay and watch it flicker and dream of how it would feel to bask in its warmth
Chasing away the cold that clings to my flesh
I imagine it would penetrate my skin and flow through my veins reviving me
And when it reaches my heart it would enliven with Iman
Emancipated from the utter misery of a life without a purpose
A life without out answers of truth
Honest in speech, action, and spirit
Unburdened with the guilt of sins
Freedom in the service of Allah swt

I am afraid to go home

So I am going to build a new one
This new home will be mine and I will rule over it justly
It will be pure and hearts will find with in it peace
Stomachs will find fullness, satisfaction
Tongues will taste sweetness of iman
Ears will hear the buzzing of Quran
Shoulders find heads leaning against them
Arms find bodies to encircle
Hands gently guard while themselves being guarded
Feet find play as they rest on fine carpets
Skin, all over, feels comfort in loves touch
The mind challenged and stimulated in the absence of frivolous conversation
I will not be afraid to return to this home
I am safe fee aman Allah

I am the most fortunate

How fortunate I am that I have a Lord who favors me
He gave me shape and perfected it, filling it with life
Placed me in the care of loving parents
Fed me and clothed me all the days of my life
He let me enjoy the luxuries of this world He deprived many of His slaves
Guided me to His deen
Provided me opportunity to learn His book, recite His kalaam
Promised me paradise if I keep our trust
And Allah always keeps his promise
I am the most fortunate
