For My Love of Happiness


When the mountains do crumble,
And the Skies are torn asunder,
When dry bones again breath Life,
And the Dead are raised from their slumber,  

With God's will, I love you,
Not  for your beauty, rank or station,
Not for the lust of a man for a woman,
Not for mere words which have been spoken.

And with God's will, I love you.

When the blast from the Trumpet is heard,
And the Eternal Fire burns all over,
When the Sun catches up with the Moon,
And the Night  outstrips the Day forever.

With God's will, I will love you,
For your beauty that I see within,
For your innocence and dearth of sin,
For the faith that you show in Him.

And with God's will, I will love you.

When the Seal has been set on the Mouth,
And the Dead do stand resurrected,
When only our Hands shall speak to him,
And the clear Book is no longer recorded.

With God's will, I shall forever love you,
Until the Day he rewards us for our worthy actions,
Until the Day we are punished for our sinful transgressions,
Until the Day that we seek his eternal Compassion.

And with God's will, I shall forever love you.

So I pray, every day, that when the Final Day dawns,
We shall still be together, happy and  radiant,
Upon soft thrones in the Garden of Bliss,
Wearing silk garments, under shady trees,
With silver goblets, pure wine from the Fountain,
Reclining forever in the Promised Garden.

My Happiness and I,
My sweet Companion to be,  
We shall be together forever,
In the Garden of Eternity.

Assalamu Alaikum waRahmatullaHi waBarakatuHu,

Subhanallah, this poem has brought me to tears, sniff sniff...
It really makes you think of the Day of Reserruction and who we will be with. Will we be with our family, our Muslim friends, or Rasulullah [saw]?
Or will we be with our non-Muslim friends, or Hollywood stars or music groups that sometimes we come to like so much???
It's scary to think sometimes. May Allah (SWT) grant us to be with Rasulullah [saw]. Ameen.
There's a hadith about this (I forgot the exact words, so if anyone knows it, feel free to post):
"Everyone shall be reserructed with whom they loved"
So, we have to choose carefully whom we love and for who we love them, for the sake of Allah (SWT) or our own nafs? Allahu A'lam.

Wassalamu Alaikum waRahmatullah,
Betul
