My sins block my dua'a....

A member of the izlamik mailing list sent this out and subhanAllah, it's very powerful...it reflects my state and what I'm going through, so it had a very personal meaning for me......did it affect you? if so, in what way(s)?


My sins block my du'a

As I sit here alone, the tears rolling down my face
It is not salt, but pain that I taste

So I leave now to go stand before You
I am helpless and alone, what else can I do?

I have asked, I have begged but my sins block my du'a
I will come now still begging, forgive me O Allah

Forgive me and grant me what it is that I ask
For me it is impossible but for You a simple task

I try and I try but I do not succeed
But I understand and know it is because Your Words I do not heed

I hear, yes I hear but I do not always obey
Perhaps that is why I am destitute, isolated and why You have written that I
will be alone this way

I have no to blame but the person in the mirror I see
No one else must pay for my sins, no one else, no one else, no one else but
me

So I stand before You to again beg forgiveness because You said that I can
You have told us in Your Book that You are Ar Rahman

I will ask, I will beg but my sins my block my du'a
But I will keep asking, forgive me O Allah

Awesome poem.

Almost perfectly sums up my  condition...sometimes during my du'a, I feel like a 4 year old kid who knows she has done something wrong, and is just getting around to admitting it.

I wish there was a "Idiot's Guide: How to be Grateful" somewhere out there :)

Wasalaam.
