As-salaamu Alaykum wa rahmatullah,
Below are four short poems I wrote a few months ago that I wanted to share with my dear brothers and sisters:
O how we race around so blindly chasing after the fleeting pleasure of this worldly life, only to watch them crumble away between our figures, leaving us with nothing but regret and unabating strife.
This dunya is like a falling tower.
Those who grasp onto it will be pulled down to their own destruction.
To control one Naafs is jihad and to follow it leads to sin.
We cannot fight upon the battlefield until we can control the Naafs within.
Every second is a second we are closer to death
And every step that we take could be our last step
So where'll you be when you breath your last breath,
On the day when your soul shall be stripped from your chest?
For there'll come a Day when we'll be raised from the dust
And assembled row, upon row, barefoot and undressed
Facing the Lord of the Worlds and forced to confess
The Truth of our deeds in front of the rest
So why did you stray from Straight Path and the Struggle within...
And turn away from His Guidance and indulge in sin?
And who can save you from the Fire other than Him...
When it is He alone who saves and He alone who Forgives?
