His Profile

   
BISMILLAH...

I'm lovin' his smile;
I'm diggin' his style;
only known him a short while;
yet with my entire stockpile;
I wanna walk the green mile...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Rooted In Patience


Bismillah...

Love is not to be found, it is to be granted;
and like roots, it sprouts after being planted...

Lust and or infatuation are what usually come first;
pursuing either of these makes ones condition worst...

Patience is a virtue, but it's a thing to be cultivated;
like family, prayer and patience are closely related...

Time is not money, time belongs exclusively to our CREATOR;
we just have to learn what we don't get now we may get later...

Or NOT...LOL...because that too is a divine executive decision;
and nothing I mean nothing happens without GOD's permission...

may ALLAH grant us patience in all of our affairs...Allahuma ameen

The Deal

Bismillah...

Okay here's the deal;
because GOD gave us free will;
is why we should kneel...

may ALLAH accept our attempts to worShip and praise HIM...ameen

Reflections Reflect


BISMILLAH...

Blaming the world;
while claiming the world...of others...

Don't take it lightly;
it won't be taken lightly...my brothers...

While you over indulge;
denying what others divulge...about you.. 

Yet your reflection reflects;
your many causes and effects...start new...

Words without action are weak;
even if spoken seven days a week...stop hiding...

You're too grown for child's play;
now sow your seed a different way...by teaching...


may ALLAH grant us reflection...Allahuma ameen

Striving Queen

BISMILLAH...

A Queen of striving to be the most humble in this deen; 
checking my intentions making sure they're clean....
Yes yes, of all this I'm a self proclaimed Queen...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Personal Sanctuary


BISMILLAH...

During the small of the night is my favorite time to rise;
creating a personal sanctuary to be with the Most WISE...

It's truly a time of mercy and to it nothing can compare;
to be closest to my CREATOR, is to offer Tahajud prayer...

No other part of the day can grant me this much peace;
so I encourage every soul to strive to possess a piece...

So KIND is the one who has compassionately chosen me;
a perfect and humbling example of Divine Love and Mercy...

May I never turn away from this path that is straight;
may I always be inclined to openly praise the Most GREAT...

May my deeds be of those accepted by the One & Only KING,
who has no equal, no children, and who created everything...ameen

In closing, I humbly invite the masses to explore to no end;
an one on one relationship with our CREATOR and true friend...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Maybe...Maybe Not



BISMILLAH...

Maybe you're the answer to my prayers or maybe you're not;
but in real life I only want the manifestation of the Divine plot...

Honey candy sweet your flavor taste to me;
but it'll soon go sour if it's not meant to be...

Surely it was destined for our souls to collide;
still I mustn't let emotions be my deciding guide...

It should've taken more than sweet nothings to penetrate my heart;
but somehow you've had an inside advantage from the very start...

Even still, I refuse to allow this school girl infatuation;
to skew the actual factual during my final evaluation...

Stepping back with my right foot left foot right;
seeking through prayer my CREATOR's guiding light...


May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

I Dreamed


BISMILLAH...

I dreamed you wrote me poetry, after breaking my broken heart;
you asked for my forgiveness while requesting I not depart...

I cried tears, it seemed, I had cried some years before;
and though my heart was aching I couldn't walk out the door...

You begin to kiss my tear filled eyes as you whispered sworn words you promised to keep;
but before I could succumb to the security of your arms I sadly awoke from my sleep...

Many would call this a warning, not wanting this dream to ever come true;
I see the wisdom in being reminded "the no one's perfect“ includes you...

Struggle is bound to be present each and every step of the way;
sandwiched between the promised ease granted to those who pray...

Yes dreams are meant for reflection, and reflect on this one I will;
remembering as are the joys of love, the pains of love are just as real...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Perfect Striving


BISMILLAH...

Perfect we will never be despite how hard we try;
the best that we can hope for is the mercy of the Most High...

This shouldn't change our striving in fact it should push us to do more;
because worshipping and praising our CREATOR is all we were created for...

The devil is a liar who wants to convince us we can't change;
so we must seek constant refuge from satan in his CREATOR's name...

Deppresion is a state, when if allowed, will take root;
but a simple thing like gratitude will quickly give it the boot...

The road that leads to Heaven is by no means paved with ease;
the key is, when things get difficult, to seek counsel on our knees...

Remember satan is a liar whose goal is to lead our souls astray;
he whispers then withdrawals especially when it's time to pray...

Believers are to be good friends and gentle reminders for each other;
companions similar to family though not birthed by the same mother...

The idea we should be strong enough to travel this life's journey alone;
is again the handiwork of our avowed enemy who hates us to the bone...

May our CREATOR grant us guidance, forgiveness, protection, and mercy just to name a few;
as we strive to remain in a state of worship remembering that's exactly what we were created to do...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Praise Busy


BISMILLAH...

Dear GOD suffice me with what is lawful so I am protected from all that is not;
please grant me contentment with what is and increase my faith because it's all I've got...

Surely I bear witness to the truth, that difficulty is sandwiched in relief;
but I'm in need of your protection NOW because satan's tampering with my belief...

I promise I'm not complaining or giving in to despair;
I'm just heavy with my reality so I'm letting it go in prayer...

This prayer I humbly offer asking each and every reader to do the same;
“Dear GOD despite the level of Amelah's difficulty keep her busy praising YOUR name..."

may GOD who has absolutely NO partners sons or daughters be pleased...ameen

Prayer vs Everything Else

BISMILLAH...

Prayer is better than sleep and everything else in our life;
which includes water money children parents and ones husband or wife...

Five we are commanded to offer before each day comes to an end;
though the devil will whisper different, this rule we're forbidden to bend...

The whole world is our Masjid so there's no reason to miss even one;
prayer is our spiritual air it aligns us like the moon and the sun....

These obligatory pauses are not up for discussion or debate;
during these appointed times all else in our world must wait...

From the moment we declare Al Islam as our chosen way;
we become 100% accountable for whether or not we pray...

Of all the deeds we offer, our prayers will be counted first;
neglecting them can cause our heavenly bubble to burst...

So on guard we must remain when it comes to our daily obligatory prayers;
and just in case they come up lacking we're encouraged to also offer spares...

Remain In Worship...may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Deed Flow

BISMILLAH...
You chose me like dhikr, a reminder of GOD;
a spiritual helper on this journey we trod...

I embrace my duty to be used by our CREATOR;
knowing the reward compared to my efforts will be far Greater...

It's really not about the who, it's all about the why;
an attempt to rack up good deeds before the day I die...


The fact that your spirit moves me kinda messes with the flow;
posing the question, "am I doing it for my LORD or doing it for show?"

So I will strive to purify my intentions over and over again;
in hopes my deeds will be accepted as good ones in the end...

may ALLAH be pleased with my deeds...ameen

Let's Easily Proceed



BISMILLAH...

I don't beg to differ, but I will submissively lower my gaze;
as a trust I extend to you to guide me through this maze...

Not intending to become anymore than good spiritual friends;
was the beginning of our story that can have several ends...

Instead of running through stop signs, let's proceed with ease;
trusting our CREATOR while taking Divine counsel on our knees...

I promise to ride shotgun if we collectively decide to roll;
but for now I'll be the sweet critic who helps navigate your soul...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Inspiration By Inspiration


BISMILLAH...

I'm not sure if it was safe to allow inspiration to take root this time;
planted thoughts branching out some in rhythm others in rhyme...

Roses, thorns, nectar, and sweet sacred places;
both tears and smiles mingled upon the affected faces...

Speechless about this matter I probably should remain;
but I know, oh to, well both the described joy & pain...

Many seasons come and then suddenly can't be found;
making more desirable the buds that bloom all year round...

The love lessons learned aren't always enough;
because forbidden dreams can easily make forgetting very tough...

As no one wants to forget the sweetness of that special kiss;
even when its poison slowly kills every ounce of superficial bliss...

Passion is the noun that often feels more like a verb;
impairing the best judgment more than liquor or smoked herb...

Sensual is the lingering scent stimulating the senses of the heart;
re-igniting toxic flames known to be deadly from the very start...

Going For Three


BISMILLAH...

Solitude is the escape I can never seem to reach;

while the three that keep me going also inspire me to teach...

At times I'm half empty, then half the time fulfilled;

I seek to be content & not question being created free willed...

Just as I must trust the wisdom in not being granted the ability to fly;

I walk with firm faith, most days, to the divine rhythm of the Most High...

Never have the words I prayed been returned to me;

and I can't begin to count the blessings I daily receive for free... 

Still I long to be understood, in exchange for understanding;

by one who, when I can't see move or breathe, will care without demanding...

A helper in reaching my goals in this life and the next is all I require;

but until I discover such a one to ALLAH I will keep sending up this reoccurring desire....

 may  ALLAH be pleased...ameen
