No god, but God

O God
There is no God but you
The living
The eternal
O God
There is no goal but you
The high
The great
O God
There is no better cause then your cause
O God
There are no better words
Then to praise you continuously
O God their is no greater gift
Then knowing you

Allow our souls to depart
And our spirits to reconnect with you
O God their is no better presence then yours
O Lord
Their is no worse fate then to be turned away

O God
Were humbled by you
Your might
Will overcome
Our weakness will be on display
Faces of hope
Faces of dismay

O God there is no God but you
The living
The eternal
The high
The great
The holder of time
The watcher of all
The hearing
The living
The self sufficient

O living
O eternal
There is no God but you

Journey

It is a matter of certainty
That day will come
When none will matter but the One

And yet our aims are different
Each striving for success
Striving for happiness

Our aims will be unmet
When our hearts, our minds, and limbs forget

For were all traveling on a path
And we who would like to meet our Lord
will be met the same by him
And we who would spend every moment of breath denouncing his being
Will be before him with despondent souls
Begging God to go back home
Begging God for a second chance

For some -what we would do for just one glance!
For those who know
the hereafter is home
The present life is the time for growth

I beg of you
As I beg of me
Please don't be blind in this sea of illusion
Please bring your heart to this final conclusion
Where all going to meet our Rabb

Where all on the same journey
So why not hope to meet with him?
Why not face the afterlife hoping for his mercy?
May God bless us all, all of us on the journey

Goodbye Ramadan

Oh God please protect us from the accursed devil (and his companions),
In the name of God, The Kind and The Merciful:

So how many regrets can you count?
Do they take up a mountain?
An ocean or a sea?
Can you count them on your hands?
Do you see them in your sleep?
If your regrets could follow you how many tears would you weep?

Ramadan is gone
Like a soul without its body
We weep for all the things we should have said, should have done together
Do you wish that Ramadan could spend just one more day
So you could fast in the daytime and stay up all night to pray?

Its gone and left us
In a year it will return
But will we be returned?
Will we live to see again?
And if the sweetness of mercy is brought to us
Will we have the wisdom to repent?

Hell is now reopened and shaitan has been set free
Though somehow I feel we've noticed its our souls that are diseased

Ramadan has come and gone
Yet God's mercy is everlasting
Ya Rabb let us pray for the next 6 months for a Ramadan that is accepted and the 5 months till it comes again
To have Ramadan full of long nights and tedious days...

Goodbye Ramadan
Insha Allah we'll meet again
Ya Rabb
Accept our efforts
Making us winners in the end

Ramadan

Dear Lord
Oh Lord
Glory and praise to you
Thank you for your love
In this month
This blessed month
The gates of mercy are opened
Our open enemy
Locked up

The floods of enlightenment
Will wash away all of our past mistakes

Oh Ramadan can't you tell that we've been waiting for you
Praying for a chance to see you through
Oh Ramadan how we've missed you
It seems like every obstacle we've seen has disappeared now that were with you

Oh God this precious decree
To fast and to strive all to be set free
Our desires and whims with the passing of time it seems as though we become blind
But yet in this month
The message of your beloved somehow amplified

Oh God
There is more to life
The desires of the soul
Or to barely do what's right
The lofty principles of the saints are ours to attain
In this month of Ramadan may we continuously praise his name
Leaving Ramadan renewed with hope, our sins non existent and our spirits newly awakened

Better off

You would spend a lot less
Time
Worrying and searching
Fearfully holding on
If your eyes were fixed in the right direction
In the path of perfection
Under his protection

You would better yourself and savour your health
If you turned away
Looking towards the hereafter

You would invest so much less
Not a penny to embrace the greatest of the great
Despair between the eyes when you strive for this life
Contentment when you believe in the next life
When pray is more valued then enjoyment in this life

You would be better off if you read of his mercy
The prophets (peace be upon them) not profits
Deserve your allegiance
The heroes are heroes because they fought their desires
The heroes are the ones who are saved from the fire

We would be better off to compare forever to this life
May Allah show us the truth from his light
And let us pray for mercy instead of respite

Say your prays

Say your prays
The fatiha and your quls
Say your prays
For your niece who was picked on in school
For your nephew
Who sometimes breaks the rules
For the marriage of your dreams
For a child you can love
Say your prays
For your parents
For yourself
That you'll make it to paradise
That Allah make forgives your sins
And grants you his ultimate mercy
Say your prays
For your friend far away and in a lonely place
For your cousin who went astray
For the other who sometimes can't see clearly
Say your prays
For your mother who seldom prays
Or your father whose faith is washing away
Or your sister who can't tell right from wrong
For your brother who can't seem to get along
For your neighbors who constantly argue and fight
For the peers who don't understand the sadness layered behind what they call truth
Say your prays
To have knowledge
Useful knowledge that will bring you closer to your lord
Say your prays
Sending peace and blessing on to the soul of the prophet and on to his children and his wives and his companions
Say your prays,
Pray that you pray for the right things to pray for
Say your prays
That God will love you
And allow your hands to speak for you
And recall the righteous things you use to pray for
Say your prays
To have knowledge
Useful knowledge that will bring you closer to your lord
Say your prays

Muhammad, 1

The light from the moon
The stars in the sky
Gleaming like a diamond by the riverside
Oh Muhammad, you must know, how much we love you so

Ya Muhammad
Ya Muhammad
Be there peace with your name

Ya Muhammad
Ya Muhammad
Where so glad you came

Ya Allah
Its your mercy
You show us through Muhammad

Praise be to God
And peace to Muhammad

There's a place for people like you in heaven...

The one with faith
The one with knowledge
The one with strength
The one who loves
The faithful wife
The caring husband
The patient father
The dutiful daughter
The loving mother
The thankful son

Who all believe in the one
There's a place for you in heaven...

The last days

When the mountains would prostate
So high and so great
And yet we in meekness
Keep our backs straight
Who is it we believe is great?

When fajr is forgotten
But death is still a norm
When fear has crumbled
And hope is gone

When distrust is rampant
And the people are barely dressed
When there is openly lewdness
And sin causes no stress

When God is an afterthought
If a thought at all
When people cry for the loss of money
And pray for more from this world

When pain is fixed by taking drugs
When hands are used for violence
And tongues spew hatred

When the places of our forefathers
Are used for monetary gain
When a Muslim
Is the only one who remembers the purpose of life

When shaitain no longer has to try
And evil is wide spread
When the last ones to believe
Are long gone and dead

Look for the hereafter
Can't you hear his steps?

Read

There is no power

No might

And no ability

Save with Allah

And those who know this well

Are the only one's with tranquility

Allah knows best what makes some to stray and others to believe

Some open the quran and read

As if its just another book

While others open the quran

And wept

Asking Allah for his mercy

Some can read the Arabic

Yet still look away

While others read its meaning

And there hearts tremble with fear

What could we learn if we opened this holy book?

A direct link to God

His word

His message

The stories of old

His admonition

And hope

What are we reading if were not reading the book of God?

Are we letting ourselves be fooled by this world

So blind to our desires

In the holy book of our lord

Is where we'll find the answers

Don't let the pundits and the the philosophers let us lose grip of our faith

If we read the book we'd know that we must wait

For fortune comes to many

Yet God is always just

The evils ones will see there day and it will be enough

To suffice everything

Don't think that its a pity

That we miss out on this world

The book says it will crumble

One day it will be dust

And therefore if faith is sound

We'll be the one's to say

"We found the promise true

Allah, Allah have mercy on us

The peace belongs to you"

A pray from a lonely traveler

 

 Oh dear God
Wash my hands
So as to cleanse the filth they contain
Let me feast and be sustained by your bounty
Cause my eyes to take pleasure in your pleasure

Let my lonely walks
Challenge me to think of you

The human condition causes me to rot and decay
But with every despair it is to you I pray:
Dear lord forgive me of my sins

Capture me with the light of your deen
Cause me not to worry about this passing world
Focus my heart on remembrance of you
Cause me not to cry over the losses of this world
Help me to be happy in your pleasure
Help me to disdain sin in every measure

When I looked at the moon last night
I knew I understood
You were with me
Guiding me my Lord

Walking through the streets like a loner
On concrete roads
I never felt your presence more sincerely

Praisest thee

Oh dear God
My love to thee who is the merciful and kind indeed
Fair and mighty he judge us by deed
Not my color does he care
Or the texture of my hair
It is not the shoes I wear
Nor the language which I speak
For he judge me by my deed

He created one man so long ago
And taught him the knowledge from himself
Bow to Adam so he said
But the Jinn stood tall and proud
And before his lord refused to bow
The Jinn was ungrateful arrogantly so
And fell from grace
To be abhorred

But quietly not he left he promised to make mischief in the land
And behind our ears he whispers thought
But never take our hand in action
We make the choice to follow true
Or fall to lies and pay our due

The righteous shall do whats right
The wrong shall be punished with great might
They well ask for second chance
But will be granted nothing of the sort

The prophets came to them indeed
So why not follow them in heed
To love thy lord what makes you not
Is it that you just forgot

The blessing are abundant so
The food we eat the plants we grow
The children we have
The friends we love
His glory be in what we know

The little things both good and bad
Show you all you need to know
To give you chance
To repent your soul

Frolic upon beauty so bright
But only if thee do what right
Though the pressure great and strong
T'was what call them to stray away

Darkest nights
And brightest sun
All create by the one
The grass that grows
The trees that shade
Should cause man to stop and think

Not one could cause a plant to grow
Though the think they causest so
But if it be that you are
Then try to give the blind man sight

Or try to stop a human death
Or try to go right when he command you left
Control the time with your hand
Make food grow upon destitute land

Then ye know the truth indeed
Understand the will of God
None is better then our lord
He is better to be adored

Upon my rest
I'll think of thee
The one you save me from my self
The one who strengthens me with health
You rest me down to sleep
And bring me live from the dead

Please lord bless me one more night
To forbid what's wrong
And do what's right
So I be among heaven sent
And not among the burning dead

Not lost

Dear Lord,
I'd thought I'd forgotten you
But you pulled me back
You pulled me back
Dear lord,
I'd thought you' forgotten me
I was blinded
By worldly deities
Dear Lord,
I thought I was angry with you
But you treated me with love
Dear Lord I cursed the rain, and the struggles, and the heartaches of life
But you showed me mercy
You showed me compassion
Dear Lord,
I'd forgotten the little things
Which where not little at all
I turned my face from you
I'd given up on you
I thought I could make it through
But I was a liar
And I found out all to soon
That their was no good that could come without you
Oh Shaitan, how he called himself my friend?
Oh my whims and desires that begged me to go off
Without a care in the world I strayed
But this world laughed at me
Laughed at me!
They call me in only to laugh at me
Made me their slave only to laugh at me
And still the whispers stayed in my mind
allah ...........allah ...................allah
Until it became louder
Allah ..........Allah .........................Allah
Then it screamed at me
ALLAH ....................ALLAH ......................ALLAH!
Was it you? my conscious? my soul?
I could not bear it
I came running back
Without a care
Leaving possessions behind
I found you once again
And found that you had never lost me
And found that the highest ranking I could ever be
Was to bow my face in the dirt as your slave for eternity

A watered path

I know two paths that I can take
One is narrow, long and straight
The other is fast and crooked with bumps
Which one should I take?

One will take me across in seconds
Where more disaster waits
The other will take me to a holy and beautiful place
But this path will take me a lifetime to cross
Which one should I take?

One will take me no where in life
Though I may enjoy the ride
The other will cause me great pain and great strife
But will bring me
Great joy in the end
Which one should I take?

On one path is teachings of Quran and Sunnah
On the other lays the lies of the dunya
Which path should I take?

On one path I see scholars crying in remembrance of their Lord
On the other path I see thieves crying
Over a lost grain of salt
Which path should I take?

Oh sweet taste of jennah
Be like my tea
Both calm and comforting to me
Oh my Lord do not forget me
When I am weak and forget thee
Oh my Lord send down angels to be
guardians on to me

Oh my Lord open my eyes
When I am so blind that I can't see
The path that is so obvious for me
Grab me like Gabriel did Ahmed and show me to read

For when the human heart feels the truth
His eyes over flow
With wells of water

And maybe we'll cry so much
That our tears will become like rivers
And make our journey smooth
and easy

Peace

Peace my brother Peace my sister
Peace
Peace
Peace

Peace to you mankind
Who thinks you've found heaven on earth
I wish you happiness
But more so I wish you peace
I pray that one day your wealth is swept away
Allah takes a favor on you
And shows you humility
And shows you,
Peace

Peace
Peace, to you sad soul
Alone
Out of control
Without a place to call your own
You've been preyed upon by the wealthy
Made indecent by the powerful
Scolwed by the passerbys
Pretending you have no soul to cry

I know you want the world
So one day you can show them your worth
But my sister
Those fancy clothes may one day burn your skin
And my brother
The money you hold may turn against you
And cause you to sin

So I pray not that you ever
Ever see wealth in this life
Though I pray God realease you from your strife
I pray more so
That he gives you patience to conqure this test
Bestow on you his mercy
Making you blessed
With bliss -real bliss
With peace

Peace, peace
The little you have
The less you give
You fathered that child and took care of him
You mothered your young
And made sure they were safe
You nutured your soul with hadith, quran, faith and good intention
To you also I wish a garden
Of endless supply
And a soul that isn't worried late at night
And peace
Peace
Peace!

For who am I?
Just a well wisher
Just another with an uncertain fate
Heaven or hell?
I should worry more
Written test
A family of my own
A few letters by my name to make me well known

These things are fleeting
Passing ships
Fallen brincks
But heaven and hell are forever eternal

I pray for you and for me
Lord, Unblind our eyes so we can see
Long enough to shield us from this life
Long enough to convince us to do right
Long enough so we could see
The river passing beneath our feet
Long enough to walk through heaven greeting eachother;
"Peace, Peace, Peace!"


Al Waqia, Al Quran
(89) And if he is of those on the right hand, (90) Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand. (91) But if he is of the rejecters, the erring, (92) Then the welcome will be boiling water (93) And roasting at hell-fire. (94) Lo! this is certain truth. (95) Therefore (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.

Umm 'Ammarah

We who cry for foolish pain
And are afraid to fight
Will we ever know the strength
The strength
Of Umm 'Ammarah

For we who are sad when life passes us by
For we who are depressed and cry
Will we ever know the pain
Of Umm 'Ammarah

For we who spend time
Foolish time
Wasting our lives
Will we ever be as brave, as brave as
Umm 'Ammarah

Umm 'Ammarah
Who swore her oath
Allegiance to the prophet
Umm 'Ammarah whose husband spoke for her

Was called by Allah
When she wanted to help
She was call instead to fight
She took the calling
In faith
Letting her vessel fall to the floor

She took hold of the fleeing weapons
Defending the Messenger besides the men
Umar even said "When I turned left or right on the day of the battle of Uhud, I always saw her (Umm 'Ammarah) fighting in my defense"

Fighting besides the men!
Fighting to defend the prophet
Fighting in the name of Allah
Fighting to defend Islam

She lived with the wound
That gave her great pain
But when the prophet mentioned her along with his name
She knew the paradise far surpasses the pain

Her son followed in her steps
Habeeb was captured by the liar Musaylamah
From the tribe of Banu Haneefah
He tried to change his heart
But he couldn't even change his tongue

'Am I the Messenger?' he would say
And her son would answer 'I can't hear you'
His blood boiled like the sun
And her son was taken for torture

There was not a limb that couldn't feel his pain
But only the truth would remain
He would profess not a lie on his lips
The son of Umm 'Ammarah

Soon his spirit departed
And she was given the news
The anger
The rage
The pain!

But not a single word of unbelief
She was a women
She was a wife
She was a mother
The life she lived
Was like no other!

She asked the prophet and his men
When he is slain
May I be there to kill the man
Who killed my air

The times had changed
And the prophet passed
Her chance still came
That she would see before her last breath
Ageing and feeble

She went through the crowds
Looking for him
So she could could take his life
But Allah let her free with no blood on her hands
It was Wahsi ibn Hab
Who killed the man
That killed the son
The son of Umm 'Ammarah

It was a life of harshness
But the fact remains
Tomorrow she will meet her beloved
It was worth the pain that came

Pain
Pain
Pain
I continue to repeat
But don't only take that from her story
She was a women
Wise and brave
Who remained steadfast to Allah and his deen
Who accepted his kadr
His tests
His reliefs

And as sad as it seems
We should all wish for her life
Because she knows what life is truly for
Life is for worship
Life is for Allah
Life is to follow the Messenger
Home is Jenna if you choose
Umm 'Ammarah may Allah be pleased with you!

(This poem is inspired by the book 'Women around the messenger' authored by Muhammad 'Ali Qutb in which he devote a section to Umm 'Ammarah's life)

Remembrance

Remembrance
Is remembering what it feels like to be whole
What it feels like to be completely in love
What it feels like to be in peace
In silence

Every pebble pushed
Every breathe taken
Is another reason
To remember
To call to mind
A presence greater then ourselves

To feel blessed
To have a breathe
To break the silence
And feed the words
In reverse order of there conception

To remember every blessing
To remember the sweet taste of heaven
To remember the pain of hell
To remember the deeds of our father
To remember the hardship of our mother

To listen and obey
And remember
Remember Allah
Though he does not need you
But wants you

Wants you to remember him
In trials and tribulations
Wants you to remember
In joy and happiness

Because we live
We live
To remember

A wasted life

You asked me "Why I didn't care?"
It's because I forgot about you
You asked me "How could I forget you?"
Its because I was blind
You asked me "How did you become blind?"
Its because I was busy
You ask me "Busy with what"
I say I was busy with life, school, work, love, heartache, TV-
You stop me and ask "What is it all worth, now that its over?"
Nothing, I say
"So why did you do it?"
Blind and stupid, I say
What do you think you deserve?
Hell, I say
"Then why are you here?"
To beg, I say
To beg on behalf of my worthless soul
To beg on behalf of of my wasted life
On behalf of my broken heart
Because my lord you are merciful
Dear God for everthing to mean nothing
For you to be everything
Give me mercy
Give my underserving soul mercy
Because you are great
And I am nothing

Because you are great
And I am nothing...
