A Silent Dua

A Silent Du'a

All praises are for You Allah

How I know that You are there

For sinful though I surely am

 Your displeasure I cannot bear

Never till this moment

Did I realize how much I've strayed
 Never was I more conscious

Of the times I should have prayed
    

Ya Allah! Forgive me

Save me from the fire of Hell
Forgive me as You did my ancestors

From Jannah though they fell

Ya Allah! Protect me from all evil

For my soul is frail and weak
Let me not falter ever

For Jannah's the abode I seek

My actions once were guided -

By my faith which once was strong
Ya Allah! Please give me guidance

What happened? What went wrong?

    Each footstep that I used to take

I took with You by my side

The Qur'an was my close companion - 

My healing and my guide
    

                                                   Ya Allah! Please help me

For I don't understand and thus, I fear
What happened to all those days

When I never doubted You were near?

    I sit here and I wonder Oh Allah,

Why did I fall so low?
 What happened to my faith Allah?

Where did my Iman go?

How I yearn for those days Allah

For I know that the Day comes near

When each soul receives its just rewards
And Truth stands sparkling clear

 In this short life of ours
So often does sin seem right

Falsehood seems to be the truth

Like day confused with night

Life is like a spider's web Allah

We get caught in its tricky snare

So often are we disillusioned

Time for prayer we cannot spare

We are sinful creatures Allah

So please forgive us when we wrong
For the road to Jannah is rocky

And the journey seems arduously long

Ya Allah! Our Creator,

Have mercy on us on Judgement Day
Please guide us with our steps in life

And let us not ever lose our way

All praises are for You Allah

I know that You are near
I know that You have read my heart

And my words I know You hear.

We Need To Teach Our Daughters...

We need to teach our daughters to distinguish between:

a man who flatters her
and a man who compliments her,

a man who spends money on her
and a man who invests in her,

a man who views her as property
and a man who views her properly,

a man who lusts after her
and a man who loves her,

a man who believes he's a gift to women
and a man who believes she's a gift to him.

And then we need to teach our sons
to be that kind of man.

Love Her..

Love Her…

Love her …when she sips on your coffee or tea. She only wants to make sure it tastes just right for you.

Love her…when she “pushes” you to pray. She wants to be with you in Jannah (Paradise).

Love her…when she asks you to play with the kids. She did not “make” them on her own.

Love her…when she is jealous. Out of all the men she can have, she chose you.

Love her…when she has annoying little habits that drives you nuts. You have them too.

Love her…when her cooking is bad. She tries.

Love her…when she looks dishevelled in the morning. She always grooms herself up again.

Love her…when she asks to help with the kids homework. She only wants you to be part of the home.

Love her…when she asks if she looks fat. Your opinion counts, so tell her she’s beautiful.

Love her…when she looks beautiful. She’s yours so appreciate her.

Love her…when she spends hours to get ready. She only wants to look her best for you.

Love her…when she buys you gifts you don’t like. Smile and tell her it’s what you’ve always wanted.

Love her…when she has developed a bad habit. You have many more and with wisdom and politeness you have all the time to help her change.

Love her…when she cries for absolutely nothing. Don’t ask, tell her its going to be okay.

Love her…when she suffers from PMS. Buy chocolate, rub her feet and back and just chat to her (trust me this works!)

Love her…when whatever you do is not pleasing. It happens and will pass

Love her…when she stains your clothes. You needed a new thobe (kurta) anyway.

Love her…when she tells you how to drive. She only wants you to be safe.

Love her…when she argues. She only wants to make things right for both of you.

Love her…she is yours. You don’t need any other special reason!!!!

In Times Of

by Kit McCallum

My soul drifts aimlessly in times of hopelessness.
It searches tirelessly for meaning and truth ...
Yet finds no direction.

My heart bleeds quietly in times of loneliness.
It yearns to find warmth and happiness ...
Yet it somehow eludes me.

My eyes seek out visions in times of want.
They gaze endlessly through the blackness that envelops them
Yet they cannot see the light.

My ears listen earnestly in times of silence.
They search for familiar sounds to comfort and console ...
Yet they cannot penetrate the darkness that surrounds me.

My arms reach out frantically in times of despair.
They seek strength and compassion to enfold me ...
Yet they find nothing substantial to enwrap.

My mind cries out desperately in times of solitude.
It poses intense questions that demand answers ...
Yet there are none to be found
