Generations Lost

Bismillah....

The saddest thing I have found yet;
is for someone to have known ALLAH and then somehow forget...

Our own communities I sadly say,
from many angles have led the way...

Masjids and Islamic Centers once filled are now abandoned or up for sale;
many of the prior members have forsaken the straight path for a road to hell;
or for things like rape and or child molestation they sit in jail...
Oh yes, this is an untold story that someone has got to tell...

How does a whole community lose its grip;

Did we just let go or was it by an accidental slip?

True many of our elders have managed to hold on;

but countless souls from the next few generations have just up and gone...

There must be some accountability or forever we will have to atone...

Al Islam isn't a religion its a way of life to be followed and obeyed;

its manifestations are reflections of how a community of individuals behaved;

giving a pretty accurate account of whether or not folks were spiritually free or still mentally enslaved;

Do we want to recover or just leave things as they are;

we are in need of solutions yet we haven't found them thus far...

To Be Continued...may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

The COST of being FREE

Bismillah...

The repercussions of divorce can effect generations of our progeny...

There's often GREAT cost, even when it's absolutely necessary to break free...

YA RABBI, YA RABBI, YA RABBI;

please protect the hearts, souls, & minds of the children now & those yet to be...

& may YOU be pleased...Allahuma ameen

I Cross My Broken Heart...An Ishmael & Monique Redden Inspiration

Bismillah...

"Breathe!!!" I tell myself as my heart races like a thoroughbred in a race;

As I struggle to figure out why I can't halt the tears rolling down my face!!!

You and I have been done now for a while;

We ended with the promise to always lend the other a smile;

and if our helping hand was needed to extend it we'd walk a green mile...

But wait; married to another; my friend are you sure?

and since it was you who broke my heart shouldn't loneliness you endure?

I don't like the way this feels, how can you moving on be the cure?

Maybe this is my proof that your love for me never was 100% pure...

Woe Little Lady...Now Breathe...Okay Now Continue...With Ease...

You know what devil, get thee behind me;

if we were meant, then we would still be;

Him moving on is not an attack & this I clearly see;

It's GOD's plan unfolding and on my favor I await patiently ;

It's the test of our faith that gets us closer to the Almighty...

So to you my friend I say Mabruk with all my heart;

for what GOD ties together nothing can part;

friends we've always been from the very start;

and friends we will remain, "I cross my broken heart!"

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Necessary Hold...A Hajjah Karimah Inspiration

Bismillah...

She is one of my greatest teachers of why holding on tight is not an option but NECESSARY,

in a world that is so motha luvin sinful and scary...

Scary for the hopeful and striving mother,

who has to some times push without the help of the father/brother...

Thankfully the protection of ALLAH is like no other,

and with the light of HAQQ our children we have no choice but to smother...

Just as we would force upon them CPR,

if we found them lifeless after being hit by a car,

& at no point would anyone dare say, "that was taking it to far!"

Promoters of Jinnah we simply are...

May the fruits of our labor be seen,

and may our children's children's children's children's children's be high profile promoters and practicers of this deen...ameen

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

No Jesus(a) vs. Muhammad(s)...A Herny Mustafat Inspiration

Bismillah...

I constantly mediate on why,

many accept one blessing Jesus (a) while the blessing of Muhammad (s) they deny...

In Abraham's (a) footsteps they both followed to the "T";

so of our acceptance they are both more than worthy...

At least from where I stand that's what I see;

In addition to the fact that it is DOCUMENTED history...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Witnessed

Bismillah...

A lyrical kiss;
witnessed metamorphosis;
brings spiritual bliss...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

The Dam Door

Bismillah...

When the hinges on your dam door feel like they're about to give way from the pressure,

hold on to the faith that every storm comes to an end;

Now if it turns out that its been decreed for your dam door to give way, don't fight against the current,

just go with the flow knowing that on the divine wisdom of GOD you can always depend...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

GOD HELP US

Bismillah...

What's going on in our community???
As I type this message I pray for immunity...
Our families are falling by the waist side;

one parent homes are increasingly on the rise;

most of which were caused by the devils pack of lies...

Yet we continue to arrogantly hold these pseudo positions,

as if our community isn't being ambushed by he who refused to bow down in submission...

GOD HELP US!!!

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Wholehearted Belief...A Meres-Sia Gabriel Inspiration

Bismillah...

You make me proud…I am floating on a spiritual cloud…my heart beats so very loud…folks would probably hear it if I were in a crowd and would silently wonder “what is wrong with that child”…My sister, my thoughts are running wild…chanting…Amelah you too can share your inner you…” I softly whisper back to them, "I finally wholeheartedly believe this to be true!!!”

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Light

Bismillah...

Even when I can't see the light my faith provides me with light which makes my burdens light giving me the strength needed to reach the light...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Religious Context...a created voice inspiration

Bismillah...

He asked, "do you only write in religious context?"

I paused because I just knew an explanation would come next;

To my disappointment one never came though;

Yes, I asked him to expound, but he simply said "NO!"

So here I contemplate...

Religious~

Relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality...

I'm thinking...To be faithful to anything other than GOD would only lead me to insanity...

Context~

The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning.

So could it be that he was asking if my text and or statements reflects my way of life a.k.a. my deening?

Since this is all I have, towards this is where I'm leaning!!

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

That Is

Bismillah...

Believe in GOD now or believe in GOD later...

That is a statement not a question!

It's to promote a lie to say Jesus (a) was GOD's son...

That is a declaration dispelling a major deception!

We will account for our every deed when judgement day comes...

That is a reality there will be no exemption!

WorShip & associate NO partners with GOD...

That is an action prefixed by intention!

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen"

By His Isra...An Amir Sulaiman Inspiration

Bismillah...

"I explode from inspiration overload;

a surge causing my deepest fears to implode...

Your Martyrdom freed me...

may the highest heaven be your abode!"

Allahuma Ameen

Look Up More

Bismillah...

Look up more words, more family, more friends look up more ways to extend...

my hand, my kiss, my embrace, my love, my concern, my truth, my trust, my faith, my spiritual dividend...

so first I look within...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

If Only...an Indiigo inspiration

Bismillah...

If only sends me into a tail spin,

swirls of righteousness intertwined with sin...

if only the devil was willing to bend,

maybe his promise to GOD he'd rescind...

If only is my aspirations evil twin...

if only I could bring if only to an end...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

I seek...

Bismillah....

I know I got "GOT"

on July 7th 2010 my marriage was shot...

Even though I begged pleaded prayed and cried;

There was no stopping the blood that flowed from inside;

It died!!!

The killer realizing he was tricked, is now overwhelmed with remorse;

and if given the chance to go back he'd do it all different of course...

But there's no do overs and some wounds never heal;

just as you love who you love and don't have control over what the heart feels...

So, how stupid must one be;

to long for what painfully;

striped away all dignity???

I seek refuge from the Almighty!!!

Only If We Knew

Bismillah...

Only if we knew;

there's so much more we would do;

to please only YOU...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

WorShip Benefits I

Bismillah...

May my wudu extinguish the fire that could blaze my fate;

may my deeds weigh enough to get me through the pearly gate;

my worShip of the CREATOR benefits only I;

an attempt to grasp salvation cause for certain I'm gonna die;

So, I strive to seize opportunities every chance I get;

and since my goal is redemption, my prostrations I won't quit...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Ignited Gratification...A Baraka Blue Inspiration

Bismillah...

I am aggressively yet patiently searching, longing to discover,

new levels, new layers, new happiness, new calm inside of a~ME~lah...

I must find my image in the mirror in order to mirror...

Your inspiration ignited gratification...

my heart fights hard to smile within the chaos...

May ALLAH be my guide and may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

B.E.A.U.T.Y.

Bravely

Exploring

Areas

Unchartered

Trusting

Yielding

Life...Challenging...Beauty

Bismillah...

Life is pass challenging, yet its beauty is illuminating;

Challenges exercise the muscles of faith and is spiritually rejuvenating...

Say it or say it not;

our only relief is with the LORD...HE neither begets nor was HE begot...

Life is challenging but beautiful, I do dare say;

so I embrace each challenge with the faith that relief is on its way...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Is It A Beautiful Day???

Bismillah...

It's like the beauty of this day,

can't be described in a verbal way...

It's a feel-ing, a trill-ing...

It's hot, yet chill-ing;

Is it spring or am I spring-ing;

into my new;

yeees...can you feel it too???

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Bismillah...

who seeks to take her intimacy with ALLAH to the next stage...

Slow Grow Yo Glow

Bismillah...

Every journey is traced with mistakes,

and the mercy of ALLAH allows for retakes...

Reflections are all that we see,

when I look at you and you back at me...

Even slow has an active flow,

may your inner shine continue to glow,

the beautiful gleams of indigo!!!

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Recognized

Bismillah...

Set apart from the other women in humanity;

know me when you see me;

without any uncertainty;

I AM the reflection of Hagar's, Mary's, and Aisha's modesty (ra);

A proud, steadfast, striving Hijabi;

May "ALLAH" maintain "A Sista Like Me"...

My Pursuit

It's been said that my martyrdom comes by way of my marriage and the performance of hajj;
yet at times I feel achieving such an honor is as sure as a desert mirage...
Even though, I've seen the Holy House and held the black stone in my palm...
and I've offered sajdah in front of Prophet Ibrahim's (a) Maqam...
I fight hard to be an obedient, pious, and loving wife;
and with patience I endure the many struggles and strife;
all in hopes of tasting the sweet fruits of the afterlife....

The Stream To Grace

The ultimate sacrifice being the denial of self;
placing ALLAH first and foremost, keeping my taqwa off the shelf...
Not allowing the sparkle of this world to lead me off course;
I hold the light of this deen hostage, most times by force...
Paradise be my goal yet the calls from the fire ring so loud;
and even though I didn't fall this time, I can't allow myself to become proud...
So I wake during the night and out of bed I crawl;
though there was no adhan, I heard the call...
...and as I fight with the water I don't really want on my face,

I remember it's the stream that leads to my LORD's grace...

Don't Bank On It...Invest!!!

Bismillah...

Because we are pardoned time and time again;
many of us insist on bathing ourselves in sin...
Banking on the hope of the other 99 percent;
half embracing the message that was heaven sent...
may our hearts be soft as our heads kiss the floor;
for it's truly our only means of getting through the garden door...

Mizan/Balance

Bismillah...

Dwelling in peace living out our dreams; 

embracing raindrops & sun beams; 

in silence no weeps, no screams; 

complete balance, no extremes!!!

No Doubt

Bismillah...

I want to run away into ALLAH's grace;

to some hidden place;

a serene space;

to be still and embrace,

all that is in my face,

so of doubt there will be no trace!!!

You too will follow me...

Bismillah...

How, is not the matter, what matters is I left;
I had an appointment to keep, and it was with the angel of death...
Now, as you embrace my leaving please take this fact to heart,
you too have an appointment you must keep, and it was written at your start...
Right now is the time for reflection, because you too will follow me;
for this world is only temporary, the hereafter holds our true destiny...

Yes I will be missed, but ALLAH said I must go,
so beg HIM to allow the light in my grave to glow...
There is no trading places;
so please honor me with smiling faces;
of despair let there be no traces;
and where you find emptiness, allow your faith to fill in those spaces...

Crying Soul

"Bismillah

As I detach from you, world, more reality comes into view; this life is a fleeting experience that will halt despite what I do..."So do right", my soul cries; "make complete amends before our body dies, and by all means stay away from all sins especially backbiting, and those "little white lies"...Immerse yourself in worship for the sake of me, for in the face of ALLAH's pleasure is where we want to be!!!"

~a~ME~lah~

Enough Lover For Me

Bismillah...from start to finish;

May my drive never waiver or diminish.

ameen...Driven by my need to please;

I've found the only position that grants me ease;

is my forehead kissing the floor on bended knees...

Desperate for my KING'S approval and love,

through my own iniquities I push and shove...

I cry out constantly while others sleep tight;

cause I heard HE's closet to me in the small of the night...

My longing is longer than the longest of long;

my greatest desire is to bow before HIS magnificent throne...

In the house of eternal light and sweet greetings of peace;

where sorrow never visits and fulfillment never cease...

I believe HIS promise is true, and HE is what I believe HIM to be;

therefore ALLAH, Al Wadud, will forever be enough lover for me....

~a-ME-lah~

Peace on Lock

The blessings of HAQQ...
is that it clears up all blocks;
placing peace on lock...

and our hearts, PLEASE cleanse...ameen

Amelah El-Amin Redden

Enough Army...

Forced by the played hand to seek means from an unfamiliar and down right unloving source;

a cyclone of emotions sweep my faith in uncomfortable directions as I desperately strive to stay on my spiritual course.

Quietly fear preys on the vulnerability of my spirit...

it’s done in an almost silent whisper but if you listen closely you might be able to hear it...

Though mentally I can barely make out the message, my gut reveals much;

and it’s loudly telling me, “all that fear calls you to, you dare not touch...

I can’t let life’s temporary circumstances break my back;

each second is yet another opportunity to get on track;

to work on the things I want to posses, but know I lack;

so into my spiritual luggage only good deeds I pack...

My faith is my only sure bet;

no it’s not tangible, but it hasn’t failed me yet;

constant remembrance helps me not to forget,

even when with tears my face is soakin’ wet....

Far over the top is how some may see me;

but I’m certain there’s another warrior in humanity;

fighting the same battles praying for a victory;

and for us spiritual soldiers, "ALLAH is enough of an army!!!”

~a~ME~lah~
