Regret
By MuslimBrother92
Truth be told, I have fell down,
Licking my wounds I cast a frown.
I think to myself I used to be strong,
But now I see something has gone wrong.
As rain falls down onto my cheek,
And the night casts its darkness I begin to freak.
What have I done to please Allah?
And why has my soul strayed so far?
I used to think I was smart and that I knew it all,
But soon I found Shaytaan had opened the door.
The door to kufur because he played with my mind,
And made me think there was no God of any kind.
I thought I was smart because I was questioning Allah,
But I soon realised my heart was in a coma.
I felt no passion towards my religion,
This is what caused my dreaded oblivion.
I began to say that there was no God,
That Islam was oppressive and was too hard.
But little did I know that this caused my downfall,
And allowed my happiness to crumble and stall.
I thought I was intelligent and ‘civilised’ now,
That I became an atheist and knew the know-how.
But what I didn’t know was the brutal truth,
Which was the fact I was facing a sleuth.
As the rain fell down all over me,
And the night covered my eyes so that I couldn’t see.
A horrid creature approached me from the night,
As it came towards me and gave me a fright.
It spoke to me in an angrily manner,
Telling my soul to come out as I felt its anger.
My arteries burst as I felt the agony,
Agony of death, I was breathing barely.
I realised that it was my time to go,
To leave this world and to forgo.
Forgo to the hereafter which I never believed in,
Until I saw the Angel of Death I realised my sin.
I disbelieved in the clear Proofs of Allah,
Which were the clearest proofs and by far.
I started weeping because I was going to hell,
And that all this time it was Paradise I repelled.
I told the angel to let me repent,
But it was too late as he conveyed his intent.
He intended to take me back to my Lord,
Sent to be judged with my record flawed.
Realising forever in hell I shall lie,
I tried to resist death and started to cry.
The pain grew worse as I tried to fight it,
And that is when I decided to admit.
Admit that I was wrong and so very stupid,
And that my life is definitely about to be ended.
With one final strike my soul was out,
Ripping me apart causing my blood to spout.
If only my ignorance was pushed out of my mind,
Maybe my heart would’ve not been blind.
As I lay in my grave waiting for the Day to occur,
It is regret that I feel, as I realised my error.
“Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny?”
