After hardship - comes ease

alsalamu alaykum wa rhmat Allah wa barakatuhu
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

"AHAD!" Why shed these tears of sorrow?
Why shed these tears of grief?
Ya nafsy how soon you forget,
After trials come sweet relief

Why turn you from Ar-Rahman?
Why yearn for a listening friend?
Ya nafsy, do you not remember,
On ALLAH, you must depend?

Read you not those stories,
of the trials in days gone by,
Of the Sahabi beloved by Allah,
who for Allah's cause did strive?

Why loosen your hold upon him?
Why fling away, His outstretched Hand?

Ya nafsy, do you not remember,
Bilal's sabr on the blazing sand?
   "Ahad! Ahad!" He cried,
While his flesh did drip and burn.
    "Ahad! Ahad!" He cried,
 To Allah alone he turned.

Forget you the firmness of Hamza,
As the gleaming swords did fall?
With Sabr he turned to Allah,
as the qureish did slice and maul.

Why drown in salty tear drops?
How can you dare compare your pain?
To that of Yasir and Summayah,
As they lay tortured on the scorching plain?

Forget you the charring of Khabbab,
As on burning coals he lay?
Ya nafsy how meager your suffering,
Wherefore do you lose your way?

Why befriend you not Al-Wali?
Why not in Salat to Him complain?
Like Yacoob who only to Allah,
Turned in all his grief and pain?
Forget you that trials in this life,
cleanse your heart and make it clean?

Ya nafsy, why all this sadness?
do you not wish your heart to gleam?
Be patient in all your hardships,
Allah hears your cries of woe.
So trust Him and His hikma,
for He knows best and you don't know.

So tighten your hold upon him,
Lest He withdraw His outstretched Hand!
And remember the exmple of Bilal,
as he lay anchored on the blazing sand.

   "Ahad! Ahad!" he cried,
   While his flesh did drip and burn.
   "Ahad!Ahad!" he cried,
   To Allah alone he turned.

WalaikumSalaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatahu

no doubt that was awesome Alhumdulilah ...Jazak Allahu Kair for posting

May Allah (swt) help us all to be patient and turn only to Him in times of trial.
This is in itself a sruggle (jihad)

[u]Al-Sharh[/u]

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

[1] Have We not expanded thee thy breast?

[2] And removed from thee thy burden

[3] The which did gall thy back?

[4] And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?

[5] So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:

[6] Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.


[7] Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,

[8] And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention
