THE MOON

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

When night fell upon her cozy home - she yelled and cried - why, why, why? 

She ran out of her mother's lap, to a playmate who never let her cry!

That strong handhold, that warm embrace - he cuddled her with a sigh

His sleepy eyes looked at her face, he smiled pointing towards the sky! 

He said, "Do you know, very far, above the Heavens, there is a Mighty Creation? 

Upon it is The ONE who made you and me, and everything and everyone! 

In a short period of 6 days - the Heavens and the Earth were all done! 

He then rose over that Mighty Throne - which was (as known to us) His very first Creation!"

Her little eyes sparkled wide and she said, "Allaah created you for me!" 

He laughed out loud and hugged her tight saying, "He has created much more for thee!" 

He then pointed at the moonless sky and said, "MY MOON, you are the prettiest to me

The reason I call you THE MOON, is because my life lights up when I look at thee!"

"Our Lord who has settled above His Throne comes down each night to the lowest heaven! 

Do you know, I ask Him each day to make for you a perfect Companion? 

Your beautiful,comfortable garment - he would be your perfect crown! 

He would love you, he would cherish you - My princess, you will be his queen!" 

She hugged him saying, "You are all that to me and much more!" 

He replied, "He will be there for you after me, equal to me and much more! 

When I'd have completed my journey with you, you will remember me and love him more

I ask Allaah to bless you with a best friend to live together and explore!"

He then narrated her favorite story - of Aadam or Nooh or Moosa or Ibraheem

She loved their mention, he loved her reaction - Peace be upon all of them

Patted her lightly until she was embraced by a comfortable dream

This bed-time routine proved to polish her Tarbiyyah - a perfect gleam! 

She woke up one morning to find him gone back to their Creator

She recalled her life under his care - he was such an irreplaceable Protector 

She prays for him each day begging Allaah to be his Care-taker

Until she unites with him, under that Mighty Throne, in the company of The Last Messenger

Protect your Eemaan

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Close your eyes to things that hurt you

Do not lend your ears to what doesn't benefit you

Distance yourself from things that are a threat to your Eemaan, 

For a depressed believer is the most beloved to Shaytaan! 

Cool your eyes with the writings of the Salaf

Find solace in their speeches when life becomes rough

Learn wisdom from the Ahaadeeth, seek guidance from the Quraan -

For verily a repentant struggling believer becomes beloved to Ar-Rahmaan!

Teri Hifaazat Mera Armaan Hai...

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Phoolon-sa chehra, nanhe-se paun the, tere wo chote-se haath the

Teri chamakti aankhein, tujhe choo kar mehekti meri saansein

Yaad mujh ko har wo ghadi hai, wo kaise din aur raat the

Ke bistar ko bhigota tera bachpan, meri aankhein - hum saath-saath the

Keh leti thi main tujhse sab kuch, har khushi har ghum - Mera humraaz tha tu

Aahista aahista tu ban gaya aisa saathi, ke tu hi tu tha mere liye kaafi

Tera rona, tera wo hasna - Har aahat jaise mukammal alfaaz tha tu

Meri khaamosh zindagi ko sajaati hui ek sunehri awaaz tha tu

Main tujhe yun hi dekhti gayi, tu tezi se badaa hota gaya

Main Rabb ka shukr adaa karti gayi, Teri har lamha fikr karti gayi

Khel-khel me tujhe jab kharoch bhi aayi, to dar mera badhtaa gaya

Teri Duniya aur Aakhirat ki hifaazat ke liye dil mera tadaptaa raha

Chota-sa hai ye Duniya ka safar, lekin iska raasta asaan nahi 

Chalti rahi, bahut kamzor thi, halaat ke haathon bahut majboor thi

Meri tanhaayi ko jaanta tha Wo, Jo Apne bandon se rehta anjaan nahi

Usey maloom tha ke Uski Jannat ki qeemat ke aage kuch bhi ye imtehaan nahi

Mujhe chuna tha Rabb ne teri Maa banaa kar ek bahut ahem kaam ki khaatir

Yateem-sa tera bachpan hai ek hikmat, Rabbil Aalameen ne khud kee teri tarbiyyat

Ke tu ban gaya aisa banda, jo jeene marne hai taiyyaar Islaam ki khaatir

Chun liya Rabb ne tujhe Apne Paakeeza Kalaam ki khaatir

Ho jaaye Allaah mujh se raazi, rahe wo tujhse hamesha raazi - yehi mera armaan hai

Kare jo ye Duniya teri izzat, Jaan le ke ye hai bas tere Rabb ki nyamath

Sunnat ki roshni me karna amal us par hamesha, tere seene me jo Qur'an hai

Yawn al-Hashr ko kahein Muhammad-ur-Rasool Allaah  صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ  - Aye Hashir tu MERA mehmaan hai!

(Ameen)
