When I read your words
all I feel is peace
all I feel is peace
when I prostrate just for you
all I feel is peace
all I feel is peace
when I think of you
all I feel is peace
all I feel is peace
when I fill my heart with supplication
all I feel is peace
all I feel is peace
when I awoke from my slumber
all I felt was peace
all I felt was peace

Glory to you Allah
Glory to you Allah
Glory to you Allah
When you awoke me from my slumber
I felt so grateful to you
Even when I fell asleep
you chose to guide me
I realize now all I need is you
No matter where I may be
what situation I am in
all I need is you
Glory to you Allah
Glory to you Allah
so high in your majesty
owner of the worlds
how foolish I was
In abandoning your remembrance
when all I needed was you
all love comes from you
happiness is given by you
I only wronged myself no one else
Glory to you Allah
Glory to you Allah
so high in your majesty
I feel so embarrassed
I was so arrogant
I thought I had it all set out
I thought I understood
But then you awakened me
the awakening only humbled me
and made me fall on to my mat
asking for forgiveness
Alhamdullah!
Alhamdullah!
for the light you brought to me
Glory to Allah !
Glory to Allah !
the beloved
the all merciful
rivers of mercy flow in our lives
and yet we still sin
so
Alhamdullah !
Alhamdullah !
I am only in need of you.

because I am a muslim
I do what I do because I am a Muslim
I feel what I feel because I am a Muslim
I think what I think because I am a Muslim
I choose to be what I am because I am a Muslim
I make decisions based on my hereafter
why ?
because I am a Muslim
you wonder why I do not swear ?
you wonder why i do not retaliate to your nasty words?
you insult me
I choose not to
because I am a Muslim
I have the truth
so why do I need to behave lower then you ?
when I can convey my truth to you
it is
through the best of my actions
through the best of my words
I feel what I feel because I am a Muslim
I think what I think because I am a Muslim
I choose to be what I am because I am a Muslim

seeking
I have begun to seek knowledge
the soil I seed my my seeds in
is that of firm of faith
the more I seek
the seed starts to grow
the roots is watered
with firm prayer
as I ask
as I seek
the more I receive
the more my mind grows
the more I have hope
that Islam is truth
the seed is growing
as I continue
I stay firm
I slip at times
but then I go back to water
the seeds with what I watered with them first
faith
prayer
and
conviction
eventually their will be Branch's
each branch representing
truth
each branch explaining that which is false
by Allah the tree will stand firm
watered with iman
watered with conviction
the soil I seed my my seeds in
is that of firm of faith
the more I seek
the seed starts to grow
the roots is watered
with firm prayer
as I ask

the more I receive
the more my mind grows
the more I have hope

Oh men
Oh men you can say
whatever you like about us woman
But don't forget the womb that you were nurtured in
Oh men you can say
that woman's mind is deficient
But don't forget the woman that taught you to read an write
Oh men you can say
how much you are in charge of a woman
But don't forget who are the pedal movers in society
Oh men you can say
anything while you are breathing
you can control as much as you like
while you are still breathing
But don't forget
their will be a day of reckoning
you will have to answer to Allah
what did you do with your woman ?
what did you with that I entrusted you with ?
whatever you like about us woman

misreable
I often see people with miserable faces
each one with a different story
it seems to me people go through their whole life
collecting their miserable emotions
bottling them up in a jar
tightening so tight
to the extent theirs no room for forgiveness
no room to just let go
I wonder if these people would take a second
to be just merciful to themselves
then to others
open that jar full of so much misery and pain
and ask yourself
do I really need this ?!
I chose to be miserable for ten or twenty years
carrying around the bitterness in my fine line wrinkles
If only I was wise enough to just forgive
I could have
lived in the present
instead I chose to live in the past
I spent all those years miserable
being angry and bitter
all I had to was let go
the jar is indeed full of anger
pain
sadness
bitterness
If only I had filled them with positive emotions
Now there you are looking in the jar
deciding were to start
childhood memories?
adulthood memories ?
oh how hard it really is
I suppose one can start with forgiveness
Then the rest will take a step by step journey within myself
you owe it to YOURSELF
It will be hard emptying that jar that you have carried with you for so many years
In the end it will be worth it
you will be rewarded for it
having a smiling face is loved by Allah
frowning isn't!
If I .....
If I feel sad today I refuse for it to stop me from smiling If I feel jealous today I refuse for it to take over me If I feel bitter today I refuse for it to take over my life If I feel happy to day I refuse for it to delude me If I do good to day I refuse for it to make me feel self righteous If I do bad to day I refuse for it to stop me from repenting If I feel negative today I refuse to let myself be taken in by it If I feel positive today Then I shall put my positive energy into good use ! I refuse for my emotions to rule my life I refuse my imperfections to let me feel down rather it will only motivate me to become better . |

just like everyone else
Who do you think you are ?
don't you know
your a nobody?
you came from the two most filthy places
just like everyone else
strip you off your status
strip you off your colour
strip you of your nationality
whats left ?
just a soul like the rest of us
with issues like everyone else
so please bring your head down to reality
please humble yourself
realise your just a dot walking this earth
just like everyone else
don't you know
your a nobody?

forgive me
As i stand in the rain
I plead with Allah
Asking him please forgive me for my weaknesses
please judge me by your mercy
I'm struggling to reach the end
I feel the rain washing over me
I know i brought this upon myself
I realize now my foolishness
Please forgive me for my naivety
Please forgive me for thinking i know it all
I'm asking you sincerely
pleading with you
with nothing left of me except just 'me'
I'm nobody will always be a nobody
I don't know better then you Allah
I admit that now
I was foolish then
Please forgive me
I need you
If you close your door on me now
Then where shall i turn ?
Who will i ask for aid ?
Who will relieve me off my pain ?
I'm sitting down now
All soaked in the rain
In all my silliness
Feelings of shame and guilt
Asking you
pleading with you
forgive me , forgive me .....
I plead with Allah

Turn to Allah
When you have a terrible day
You just want to scream
just turn to Allah
When your feeling so down
you have lost all hope
just turn Allah
when your feeling betrayed
you just want to curse
just turn to Allah
when you can't see a way out
of a terrible situation
just turn to Allah
when your feeling like
you have no self esteem
just turn to Allah
when your feeling all OK and
the world is at your feet
just remember not to forget Allah
you can then be certain he will remember you !
