Smile, darlings

Strange Miracle

O Wondrous creatures,

By what strange miracle

Do you so often

Not smile?

   
Forever Dance

—

I am happy even before i have a reason.

—

I am full of Light even before the sky

Can greet the sun or moon.

—

Dear companions,

We have been in love with God

For so very, very long.

—

What can Hafiz now do but Forever

Dance!

 

My Brilliant Image

—

One day
the sun admitted,

—

I am just a shadow.

I wish I could show you

The infinite Incandescence

—

That had cast my brilliant image!

—

I wish I could show you,

When you are lonely or in darkness,

—

The Astonishing Light

—

Of your own Being!

I seek refuge in God from Satan, the accursed.

"(God) has revealed to me that you should adopt humility so that
no one oppresses another."
-Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him

"She said: 'Keep your treasures,
Me, I'm worth more than that.
Bars are still bars even if made of gold.
I want the same rights as you
and respect for each day,
Me, I want only love.'"
-Aicha by Khaled

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Being
rich does not mean having a great amount of property, but
[it] is being content [with what one has]."


"Lord knows the way she feels
Everyday in His name she begins."
-Aicha by Outlandish
 
"Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever has not kindness has not faith."
-Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him


A person once asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him): "What is faith?" The Prophet replied: "When a
good deed becomes a source of pleasure for you and an
evil deed becomes a source of disgust, then you are a
believer."

Narrated Masruq: "I asked (the Prophet Muhammad's wife)
Aisha which (good) deed was most loved by the Prophet.
She said: 'A deed done continuously.'"

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Shall I
tell you who are the best among you?...The best of you are
those who when seen are a means of God being brought to
mind."

Respect.

rain dance of a lifetime

Move one foot in front of the other
Your shoes soggy from the rain
No pain, Like the sea
Slippery and carefree
Let yourself go
And feel what’s around you.
Look up and taste the water like it's an ocean
Slow motion –
Each cold droplet fall, race on your face.
Remember Who made you
And why you’re here,
And the good times are near.
Smile and laugh
Play and sing
Forget the bitterness.
And grow old this way
Hold hands and swing in circles I say
Capture the nostalgia
And be young again. Sin-less.
Youth is innocence.
And innocence is integrity.
Keep on, one foot in front of the other.
Keep on, dance through life and thank Him.

Fajr Prayer

I wake up to perform my morning prayer

I think, SubhanAllah, I remembered my Creator

I turn on the faucet and look at the running water a bit too long

Long enough to see what's wrong.

In the water I'm afraid to see my reflection

To see the grime and filth and dirt

wash away into the pure. As I cleanse myself,

I see what I'm cleaning

and I see that I'm screaming

because I have no humility.

What is wrong with me?

How can I pat myself on the back,

say, "Good job, how good I am - I woke up for Fajr"

When soon enough after the prayer,

I'll fall back asleep,

and forget my Creator.
