One early morning at 3
I stood praying silently
Concentration in reciting the Qurans word
Bowing and Prostrating to my Lord
In my heart I feel so content
Tranquility I feel upon me sent
When family did come to know
They ridiculed me for stooping low
For a moment I did feel shame
Then swiftly realised I am not at blame
For, Alhumdulillah, I have been gifted
To partake in the night prayer so rewarded
And family catching me in the ‘act’
Upon them it may positively impact
For them to rethink their connection with the Almighty
And turn to Allah with sincerity and humility
Ya Allah, I thank you for this chance
For this virtue to allow my Imaan and a'mal to enhance.
This poem was inspired when I read of someone who had been 'found out' by their parents to stand in prayer at night and was encouraged NOT to do so by them. May Allah guide us all to do what is good and stop ourselves from stopping (directly or indirectly) others in doing good, ameen.
