| [slm] This isn't very good, it's just some stuff I wrote. As is typical with me, I was writing something and it ended up quite different to what I had intended it to be. Anyways, have a read. [color=Green] In My Garden A fountain of knowledge Trees of wisdom The fragerance of tranquility The heart arousing harmony of birds in dhikr Rocks hold firm in contemplation Awashed by weeping rivers Remorseful of sin Wilted flowers blossom in the hope of mercy Ants in their hordes Come to another's aide Showing true compassion The stronger symbol of brotherhood The fluttering wings of a butterfly Give a glimmer of hope For the sheltering wings of angels The gentlest breeze Brings promise of glad tidings I sit beneath the weeping willow Wanting to acquire all the knowledge the sage has to offer But alas, it is moved beyond words to speak Its heart breaking at the thought of all The sins of the world The roots of the willow run their Deep course in the ground Just as the marks of sin run deep into my heart Blackened. Shrivelled. Defeated. Abashed my heart attempts a futile leap from the darkness smothering it And then inside A dam is broken The pure water cleansing my heart of sins A cool relief But now I am too engaged in remembering the many sins I have committed And at last I am finally lamenting Whimpering at the possibility My existence was for nothing If I Never enter Jannah... I had no purpose to exist. [/color] |

| [slm] Subhana Allah :) *sniff* May Allah increase you in eloquence dear sis:) It's a beautiful piece :-* I especially like the ending...It's true, in contemplating the concept of what success really means, and how wasted and vain our efforts will be Save for His All encompassing Rahma. May Allah include us in the realm of those who bask in His truest delight and Bliss (Amin). Sis, Maliha:) [wlm] |

| [slm][size=2][font=copperplate gothic light] Jazak Allahu Khairan For Sharing Sister ahhh...... Masha'Allah.... My Heart Melted... Very beautiful For me, I read your beautiful expression & these verses came to mind right away... Subhan Allah: [hr] [14] Is then one who is on a clear (Path) from his Lord, no better than one to whom the evil of his conduct seems pleasing, & such as follow their own lusts? [15] (Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; & rivers of honey pure & clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; & Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell forever in the Fire, & be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces) (Qur’an 47:14 &15) [hr][color=green] ... But now I am too engaged in remembering the many sins I have committed And at last I am finally lamenting Whimpering at the possibility My existence was for nothing If I Never enter Jannah... I had no purpose to exist. [/color][/font][/size] [wlm] |
