Alhamdulillah…
I’m feeling somewhat content right now. This has become a rare feeling since I got down to serious work for this semester. Here I am, having recited surah Yaseen three times and made dua… yep..content indeed.
I’m also happy that Allah (SWT) gave me the opportunity to fast yesterday. YES!!! I’ve been trying to fast on Mondays and Thursdays… and failing quite miserably. Something or the other always happens to stop me from fasting – either I miss sahr (no way! moir not the type to fast without sahr), or something would come up and fasting would just make life unnecessarily difficult. Well I’ve just fasted one day. It’s not a habit yet. Insha Allah it will be though. Make dua awryt?

It’s Your Choice
The heart has hardened
The tears have dried
In fear of your Lord
When have you last cried?
To ward off Satan
Have you ever strived?
For the cause of Islam
What have you ever tried?
Without a care
How many times have you lied?
Time does not wait
Just like the tide
You’ll be questioned one day
And you cannot hide
You’ll be punished, perhaps
For your sins and your pride
There’s no chance to escape
No chance to bribe
Leave what’s wrong
And do what’s right
One leads to doom
The other, to light
If you heed not the Message
You’ll regret your plight
Wishing you had revered
What you had regarded with spite
To the Quran and Sunnah
Do hold on tight
You’ll be granted a future
Joyous and bright
Worship your Rabb
Doubt not His Might
Towards Al-Matheen alone
Direct your fright
Use well your blessings
Your hearing, speech and sight
Only in doing good
Your time you should bide
Pray to Al-Haadee
To guide your heart and mind
Anticipate rewards
Of graves well-lit and wide
Of luxurious dwellings
And virgins wide-eyed
You must choose
To abandon blasphemy
And with Haq to side
A day will dawn
When you have died
You’ll be bathed and buried
Dressed in white
The angels will take you
On an inevitable ride
Whether it’s fun-filled or fearful
Depends on what you now decide…

Make me good
Make me strong
To worshipYou
All life long
Make me pious
Make me fit
With the muttaqoon
Let me always sit
Let me thank You
For Your mercy
When my ibadah
Becomes too racy
Guide me Allah
Don’t forsake me
Of the munafiq
Please don’t make me
Help me worship you
Every day
Even when I’m
Old and grey
Grant me friends
Who’ll guide me through
Ups and downs
Towards what’s true
Oh my Lord
Forgive me, do!
Keep me close, ‘cos
I love You.
