Who is My Lord? Part 2 :)

He is my Protector; He is my Friend
Everything is just means and He is the End.
Nothing happens without his permission not a leaf falls from a tree,
The one free from any partners, The Most Exalted Is He!

He feeds all his creation without him being fed,
He gives life to the lands after they are dead
He feeds the birds who leave thier nests hungry in the morning
He is the one One who gives clear signs to the people of understanding

In it are glad tidings and also a warning
All his creation lives in harmony, so perfect is his planning!

He has given me the ability to write and recite
He is so full of mercy and so abundant in His Might
He turns the night into day and the day into night
He is the swift reckoner on a day with no respite

He creates life beautifully in different stages,
He pays his fearful slaves, unmeasurable wages
Everywhere around me, of His greatness are traces,
6 billion people in the world, all with different faces

With Him remains the knowledge of the unseen
He has seperated the sweet and the salty stream
HE is very merciful to those who sincerely repent
Those who ignore it then severe is He with punishment

Multiple rewards He has to be given away
But those who remain arrogant, He leads them astray
With just a sincere intention in my heart,
He helps me to give my life a new start..

He is the giver of peace, He is the One who heals
He knows how each and everyone of us feels..

He is the bestower of strenght in the times of Tumoil
He makes me cry so I that I know the value of a Smile
I am just a lowly slave with a Majestic Master
How sad is it that I call on him only during a disaster

Yet He turns towards me, to answer my call
He sends people to pick me up after I fall..
With his supremacy Nothing can EVER compete
This is My Lord, So perfect, So Loving,So Unique..

From Darkness Unto Light

You've brough me from Darkness unto Light,
How prefect are you! My Lord as a guide..
My heart that lived in nothing but despair
You healed it through your knowledge & care

My ignorance made me worship you like you are in my need,
i kept living a purposeless life without paying any heed..
I was enough for my ownself I started to believe
But You saved me before I was completely deceieved

How can I express to you My Rab in mere words, My sincere gratitude?
Indeed you're The One Who Guides, Of my Perfect Lord; a Perfect attribute

Who is My Lord?

Everything in my life is a blessing from my creator,
The one who creates life, The dominant - all maker
HE knows about everything in the heavens and the earth
From his Greatest creations to the small particles in the dirt

He blesses me with things that I need,
Even the ones about which I never speak
Its only His fear that causes me to weep
HE keeps forgiving me because I am weak

HE honors whom he wants and so does he humiliate
HE is the one who is ever willing to appreciate
Even the smallest of deeds that I do for His sake
I just need to turn back to him, no matter how grave the mistake.

He is the Lord of the Kingom, Majesty & Generosity
His help is all I need in the times of Adversity..
Nothing in this world matters, Except His Approval,
HE is my Lord, The Ever Living, The Eternal.

The One who answers me and chooses to look beyond my disobedience,
HE deals with me in a gentle manner with abundant amounts of patience
He is Especially Mericful, Yet He is The Most Just
He resurrects us all after we have turned into Dust

Perfection is His attribute and So is Self Sufficiency
He is aware of the struggles that go on within Me
On that day He will bless his slaves with his Mercy
When all his slaves will just say ''Nafsy, Nafsy''

Even if the entire world asks of Him everything they ever wished for
From wealth to health, to women, to children, to heavens and much more
It does not even effect the treasures of My Lord, not in the least bit
It will take fom His treasures as much as a needle takes after an ocean's dip

He is The Guide, He is The Light, He is The One, He is The Last
He knows about each one of us, Our present, Future and even Past
He rewards His Slaves with all that No ear has heard or no eye has seen,
He knows about What Is, What Has, What Will or What could have been

I get tired of worshipping Him but He never gets tired of rewarding me,
I am His slave and nothing is more beloved to me than this slavery..

Shattered Somalia

A child is dying, A mother is crying,
With famine, the lands are drying..
Children and adults are starving to death,
While we are choosing different types of bread

How many more to die before we act,
I know it feels the best option is not to react

But this a call is not alien, it is for humanity,
Let's us wake up and try with Sincerity

Everything around us compels us so hard..to be selfish,
But just imagine giving 1 child back there a nutritional dish
Those people are imagining that we will help them
Don't we want to take an effort to fulfil their wish?

What I would want for myself, I would want for others

Yesterday my best friend and I were having a conversation about my overly expressive love for people. It's pretty much like If i love someone I would make a point to let them know atleast a few times in a week :P

And, I have this insane idea of whatever I would want for myself, even others would want that. For example If in a situation I wouldn't want to be left alone, I presume that all my friends would want the same and I would not leave their side until they pretty much kick me out of there..

I honestly do believe that it is important to express the love you feel for the cherished people in my life. Although, some of them seriously think I am a total EMO :P but hey, who cares! I wouldn't change my awesome self , EVER :D

Dhuhr

I don't need to complain to the creation, for i have the creator at my side
I don't need to reveal my bruises to anyone, from Him I can never hide..
He has given me happiness just like he has given me grief,
No matter what my state is, all is from Him thats my belief.

What harm can this world do, If He is the one taking my care,
He sent people specially for me, people who are always there.
Everyone goes through tough times in life, Even I did..
The best part is that I can expect Him to reward me for it

Breathe,Just let go now set your heart free
When Allah is with you, why do you feel misery
Life's too short and this world is temporary
When Allah is with you, why do you feel misery..

(Yes, I am bent on making myself feel better today and writing helps. Hence, the numerous posts)
