Sight For Sore Eyes
The hotel heights loom over me, but the heights and sights my Lord has in store for me are ever loftier, SubhanAllah, Walhamdulillah WALLAHU AKBAR!
May All my brothers and sisters and all muslimeen feel the way I do today. The cool white tiles refresh my feet, the melody of the adhan is sweet and melodious to my ears, the holy Haram, a coolness to my eyes, my hands holding the quran, my best friend, my guide, the cool night breeze bringing calmness to my soul. The Zamzam water so sweet, fills my body, mind and soul with fluid light enlightening my mind and fuelling my engine to worship my One and Only Lord. The cool night air brings deep, calm contemplations and the sparkling stars guide my eyes to the heavens and altogether my body, mind, heart and soul wonder at my Lord above as I remember the blessings I so cherish deeply, secretly in my heart, in this dunya. Things I have here and now and things awaiting me (like my soft hotel bed!) and moreso what awaits me in the hereafter...thinking of this I leave the bed for later and go to see the Ka'aba again as circling it really does bring ease to aching limbs, broken hearts and troubled minds. Alhamdulillah!
Facing Death
"I do not care when I am killed as a Muslim
On which side I fall for Allah's Cause;
That is for his pleasure, and if He wills
He will bless the severed limbs of my corpse"
Chant by Khubayb Radiallahu Anhu (May Allah Be Pleased with him)
Khubayb was the first to establish the sunnah of praying 2 rakats before execution, May Allah swt count it among his ongoing good deeds, bless him abundantly and make his scales heavy with it. Ameen

Sweet tears of Submission
My beautiful sis from Niger
Sitting next to me, total strangers
But as she recited, My heart felt love
And strove to glorify, the one Above
As she did, a faithful servant. so calm and tranquil
Her voice strengthened my resolve and made firm my will
To glorify Him, as she did
And love her, because she did
The tremors in my heart I cant explain
As she heard the verses of azaab (severe pain)
She trembled and cried
Her shoulders drooped
And silent tears ran down her face
The sweet saltiness I could almost taste
As we embraced
I hoped and prayed she would find that better place
For surely this sweeet young sis deserves the Almighty's grace...
I can see her running in green fields
and smiling in the sun
As she relaxes in the everlasting Grace and Mercy of the only One
Sitting next to me, total strangers
But as she recited, My heart felt love
And strove to glorify, the one Above
As she did, a faithful servant. so calm and tranquil
Her voice strengthened my resolve and made firm my will
To glorify Him, as she did
And love her, because she did
The tremors in my heart I cant explain
As she heard the verses of azaab (severe pain)
She trembled and cried
Her shoulders drooped
And silent tears ran down her face
The sweet saltiness I could almost taste
As we embraced
I hoped and prayed she would find that better place
For surely this sweeet young sis deserves the Almighty's grace...
I can see her running in green fields
and smiling in the sun
As she relaxes in the everlasting Grace and Mercy of the only One
