Thank you for the warm welcome and kind words. May Allah fill all of your hearts with his mercy and bless every day of your lives. I don't write as often these last few months as I have in the past. Life tends to get us down some days more than others when Allah chooses to test us. I pray that I may pass the test he has set before me at this stage of my life. Allah gave the gift of poetry to me and I pray that I do not let him down. I apologize to those who may respond to me in Arabic if I do not reply. I do not understand more than a few words yet.

Why Am I A Muslim?
“Why did I become a Muslim?” I hear you ask.
To explain the love of Allah is a monumental task.
How do you describe the serenity that overpowers your heart?
The feelings of compassion when you allow your faith to start?
How do I describe the darkness and the fear I felt inside?
How do I describe the emptiness and the pain I tried to hide?
When Allah opened up my soul and the love came flooding in,
How can I describe the awe I felt that I could finally hope again?
Allah gave me the mercy that I never felt before.
The more my heart was opened I knew His love was so much more.
Why am I a Muslim? Only Allah can really say.
With gratitude and happiness I will forever bow and pray.
Devotion and Submission
As I sit and ponder I feel the tears in my eyes.
There is no way for me to explain the awe I feel.
When Allah shows His mercy there can be no greater prize,
Than to humbly bow in prayer at how His majesty is real.
I spent my lifetime searching for things I thought I wanted.
Always seeking never finding the place where I belong.
Some days were good, some days were bad, but now I’m glad I waited.
In His own time He guided me to make my faith grow strong.
Devotion and submission, I finally understand.
Without a pure intention I would never find my way.
In all those years of searching the power was never in my hand,
But still Allah has answered when I bowed my head to pray.
Like every other Muslim I struggle to be strong,
But the path Allah has written can not be changed by man.
Alhamdulillah for Allah’s mercy I finally know where I belong.
Only true submission made me finally understand.
