The Candle...
Alone it stands, untouched, solid- bound for happiness.
Upon which life seizes to exist
A hidden beauty, yet to be known, a momentarily silence...
The heat sparks and flames arisen
Unleashing a warmth of pure submitting
The soft glow begins to light, softening with compassion
As the blaze stands strong and burning
Yet, it is sensitive to a gush of air...
It melts all desires away...
The essence of Allah, immerses in ones heart
SubhannaAllah, Wa Alhumduillah, Allah Akbar..
The candle bursts with embraced Islam
The flame soars high...commanded only by Allah.
Standing next to the Qur'an, another source of light,
Guidance from Allah, and the eternal flame...The Prophet Muhammad,
(saws)
Together our light reaches beyond this world..
To unite with our Creator...Allah.
And being together with other candles...
Emitting a bright light...
**the Muslims light--alone the light is dim, together we are strong..
Until the day, the flame burns out.
The Love of Allah, is an everlastin flame in the heart of Muslims...

BISMILLAHIRRAHMAANIRAHEEM
Before you allowed me to see the way
I was in the dark, but not alone.
Shaytaan was with me, taking me further into his depth.
My face stained with the tears that I wept.
You opened a door for me
I was so afraid to otherwise be.
To be without Shaytaan, it had been so long.
Could I do this, is it truly in me to flee?
Hmm, I only ever prayed to you.
Never bowed to another.
God has a son? I never thought so.
Never believed he died and erased my sins.
Evil's not letting me go easy, he's gonna fight.
The thought makes me so very queasy.
But, I know I'm leaving it behind.
I feel it with all my might.
If I continue in my darkness;
no one but Shaytaan wins.
Here goes...I'm standing up.
I feel my courage.
Shaytaan; he's whispering.
Ah..but Islam...is screaming.
In my heartbeat, in my soul.
I know now what I have to do
La ilaha il Allah, Muhammad Rasool Allah!!!
O.K.
Now, breathe...
Yes. That was it.
Cover myself for your sake.
Change my inner thoughts for my own sake.
Allah is my shelter and Islam is my faith.
This is something, I pray
the kafir can never take away.
Thank Allah for sending me my love.
He was the vehicle you used to show me my destiny.
I was his reminder that Shaytaan was close.
We turned our backs, left darkness behind;
faced the right path which was all that was lit.
To you, Oh Allah, we submit ourselves completely.
We love you as do our souls.
Please allow us to always be yours.
To only you, Oh Allah, I shall bow down.
To only you, I pray to always sujood.
Please forgive us for we truly mean it.
We want to follow your path,
forever in our hearts..allow us to sing,
to face the Ka'bah,
to scream from our hearts and souls...
La ilaha il Allah, Muhammad Rasool Allah!!!

'Beyond you & I'
The emotions that I'm feeling deep within me,
I shall tell you they're beyond you and I.
For words will never truly do justice,
To this love that I now feel inside.
If I told that it's true and that it's possible,
You would sit there and call me a fool.
But by Allah, in this world nothing's greater,
Than realising what you hold is the truth.
For my heart now longs for something deeper,
Something sacred and precious from above.
And though I know sincere patience is a virtue,
My heart will never truly rest without it's Rabb.
Thus, until it returns it shall travel,
It shall fly and escape by all means.
For this dunya will never be,
What it strives so hard to achieve,
For to my Lord is where my heart yearns to be.

'I am Free'
I stir
And stretch
Yawn
And scratch
The nest
My home
Soft
And comforting
I move
And view
The world
Far below
The height
Is incredible
The destination
Ever-more
The light
Is glaring
The feeling
Insecure
I start
My mind
A mixture
Of temptation
Desire
Overcomes me
And I stumble
To go
My wing
Feeling injured
Is heavy
To lift high
So I stagger
And waddle
Till I can see
The sky
The height
Seems shorter
From this
New sight
I move
A little closer
The head
Held high
The nest
Is leaving me
And I can see
The sky
The world
Surrounding me
Is stretched
Far and wide
The heart
Is flying
And the breath
Has left its place
The ground
Is breaking
And the trees
Falls through
The grass
Is nearing
And the road
Is clear
The sense
Of falling
Has engulfed me
And I fear
The heart
Is yearning
For the love
To be returned
Then a sudden
Swoop
Up and up
Until safe I am
The journey
Has begun
But time only
Will build me
The winds
Will carry me
When it
Is time
I must wait
And learn
Clinging on
For the greater good
If I follow
the course
Which for me
Has been destined
Here, now and forever
I am free
Wasalaamualaikum.w.w

Back To Top
"Amo"
And so, leaving battered things behind
I climbed the stairs to better times
Headrush sent me falling into the arms of the one
Who'll shelter me from the storm we'll create
Who loves to love. And what of hate?
Banished to a corner to face its own fate
A legacy destroyed as the better comes about
Who ever doubts that the good will out?
Go then back to your misery
But whatever you do, let happiness be.
For tho it reigns in my heart only a second or a day,
That time for me is all eternity;
Soft, unfocussed, no mind to be broken
Warm words spoken, comfort no token, but real.
And it bears well its brevity
Beneath the strain and longevity
Of anger and negativity.
So give me the night and the bright daylight too
To rejoice.
For I have known happiness,
And be it only a fragment, an iota, it is mine,
And so I write it, lest I forget.

"Interminable/Flight of Fancy"
Time oozing slow
Like a honey-coated lie
Dripping from the tongue
Of a friend who's lost their
Morals.
Drawn out sigh
Exhaled breath builds up to a
Gale force wind, leaving
Carnage in its wake; nothing passed by, nothing
Spared.
And from far away a
Cry or a whisper
In your ear,
Breaks the reverie.
Ordinary perception returns, and
Time oozes on.
