Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem.
Asalamualaykum.
I wanted to write a quick blog post.....so I just made this poem up....anything that popped into my head I just wrote down....so it may seem random and a bit muddled up but in sha Allah maybe one could learn something new or just think/reflect on the poem....may Allah forgive me for any mistakes....
An interesting thought:
Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah (may Allah have bless him) said: "One person may read a text and learn one or two lessons from it, while another may learn one or two hundred."
Allah knows best.
The light of this life is like a dusty reflection,
The light of this life is nothing but imperfection,
Artificial. Temporary!
The light of the afterlife is more than light...
More than something one calls bright...
The light of the afterlife is what we want and what we should seek...
Kind words all around! Is what we should speak...
There's pain in this world, there's hate and sorrow
Allah knows best and what truly is coming for us tomorrow...
We should work righteous deeds,
And never look up to people who mislead...
This world is a place that can truly deceive...
We should remember death constantly...
Because truly that is what makes us want to believe...
It's builds fear in our heart and we don't want to tear apart...
There's things in this life that have already been broken...
But we need to piece things together and build again even if it's from scratch because success is not always one big block...success is lots of smaller pieces that make the block...
A jigsaw is only finished when all the pieces are put together in the right place...yes, surely you can misplace them...but it takes practise...one needs to try again and again to gets things right...
It is jihad-a battle an inward struggle and fight.
Allah is Great!
O people,
Allah is Greatest!
Worship Allah alone...
We need to work hard for our heavenly home...
Ever been in an exam?
What does it feel like when you haven't revised?
You think OH DAMN!
We need to work hard to succeed and achieve...
Be sincere in all acts...
There is no God but Allah! and that's a FACT!!!!!!!!!
I could write so so so much more....and more...
But truly we all need to look into the guidance of the Quran and sunnah if we want jannah...
Seek ilm (knowledge) because truly as ahmad ibn hanbal (RA) said: "People need knowledge more than they need food and drink, because they need food and drink two or three times a day, but they need knowledge all the time."
The light of this life is almost like darkness to me...
Sometimes one can get so wrapped up in this world and one can become too blind to see-metaphorically...
The light of this world is something in my eyes but the dust makes me want to run and cry....
I want to run to Allah, Allah is so great and merciful I don't need to even run because in every thought in my mind: I find, oh I find: my path to Allah and I don't even have to even move...
Allah is SO Merciful.
The light of the akirah (afterlife) is what I want because artificial light is a burden...
It fades away and will not stay...
May Allah guide us all
And forgive us when we fall...
Allah forever answers our calls
We all seriously need to learn to be grateful!
Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah: "Love of Allah is the power of the heart, the sustenance of the heart, the light of the heart."
