My Taraaweeh Imaam ♡

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

The moment when you blessed my Rahm, Ya Rahmaan! 

My heart begged from you, Ya Khaaliq, a righteous Haafiz of Qur'ān!

Ya Jabbaar, that painfully critical phase helped in strengthening my Eemaan

Ya Wahhaab, that bundle of joy in my arms was only Your Ehsaan! 

Ya Mujeeb! You answered my Duaas to protect him with a merciful "kun" 

Ya Hameed! You challenged the medical science with a miraculous "fayakoon"

Ya Wakeel! I prayed for a comfy home, an ideal childhood for him

But, Ya Maani! You chose to multiply my rewards as a single mum..

Ya Aleem, of all my trials, his 'ilm was the most difficult aspect 

Ya Hakeem, it was Your plan for his tarbiyyah - today I do reflect

Ya Kareem, with every source of learning that my boy did reject

Ya Raheem, You were designing his life keeping his Aakhirah in prospect!  

Ya Baseer! My eyes still feel the tears they shed along this journey

Ya Samee! My heart still feels the restless beating of my worry 

Ya Rasheed! My mind still has the memories of failures too many

Ya Ra'oof! My soul still feels the pricks of the path so thorny! 

Ya Rabb! I thank You endlessly for giving me this Falaah! 

For gifting me such a precious source of my Islaah!

For making my home a place of Your Dhikr, Ya Allaah! 

For Your little slave, leading me tirelessly in Salaah! 

Ya Walee! Each night I close my eyes saying "Iyyaaka Nasta'een"

Every sunrise gives me a new hope, Ya Rabbil Aalameen! 

Ya Waarith! Help me to raise a humble servant of Your Deen..

Ya Haadee, guide him and keep him steadfast upon Siraat al-Mustaqeem!

Ya Ghaniyy, bless every Muslim parent with a Tahajjud alarm! 

Protect the children of our Ummah, Ya Dhul- Jalaali Wal-Ikraam! 

May every righteous child become a virtuous Imaam

Accept from my son, Ya Rabb, the Hifz of Your Kalaam!

(Aameen)
