Jealous Eye
O Creator of the universe

O elevator of the sky...
Shield me from the evil hand,
protect me from the jealous eye

Feelings
If i were to mock your mum or dad
You would break inside all hurt and sad
You would break inside all hurt and sad
If i had to ridicule your husband or wife
The decision would be made that i have no place in your life
The decision would be made that i have no place in your life
If i insulted your beloved daughter or son
Your emotions would be stirred whilst i have fun
Your emotions would be stirred whilst i have fun
If i speak against those that are dear
Its waves of emotions that i will have to fear
Its waves of emotions that i will have to fear
Muhammad (SAW) is more dear to me than my own blood
When you insult my Prophet, you asking for emotions to flood
When you insult my Prophet, you asking for emotions to flood
Its nothing extreme, it all makes sense
You hurt my feelings and i take offence
You hurt my feelings and i take offence
I dont justify killings or violence
But dont expect me to sit back in silence
But dont expect me to sit back in silence
If you dont agree with the man, at least lets live like brothers
I might not share your beliefs, but i will never mock others
I might not share your beliefs, but i will never mock others
So please my friend, i love you for you are my fellow being
Just don’t insult Muhammad (SAW), i believe he is the greatest this world has ever seen
Just don’t insult Muhammad (SAW), i believe he is the greatest this world has ever seen

My Husband
When the Storm came
He was my umbrella
He protected me from misery and pain
He moved every obstacle in my path
He always told me “it will be ok insha Allaah”
When I looked, he was always there
for me
he hardly left me
He spend his time with me
He seized my fears
He strengthened my will
He removed my doubts
He raised my security
His shoulder was mine
I could depend on him
He showed up out of nowhere...
And warmed my freezing heart
Freed my trapped mind
Never broke his promise to me
truthful
He made my life bright, effortless
He made me sleep with ease, whilst the world was collapsing on me
He would have protected me from bullets
He promised he will be there
until His Owner took him back
My umbrella from the storm
Ow Allah forgive him
have mercy on him
pardon him
accept his deeds
O Allah
Expand his grave
reward him for his goodness
He lit up my heart
Allaah give him a better home than the one he lit and left

Teenage Love
For 18 years she was the apple of my eyes
But I was in for a surprise
As she got to know a boy
A sudden change and she wasn’t coy
Ah! She said I don’t understand
She has to have a friend
She has grown
And I am about to be overthrown
Overthrown by a boy – her first love
I was sad not so much as she was in love*
Love is natural
But she is still my 'baby girl'
All I asked from her is to consider
- The danger as he is after all “a stranger”
Study comes first and when you are really ready
Go ahead find a friend - a steady
Study and Steady? - She replied she could juggle
But I am not willing to take that gamble
As I have known cases – love interrupts
Study, family and all love disrupts
For a teenager, being in love is everything
As a father it kept me thinking!
Am I doing the wrong thing?
Love I am not curbing
It is just the timing
Priority is the thing
All I think was for her own good
But sad to say she misunderstood
Yet again there’s another matter
It makes me shatter
In choosing a friend or life partner
Rasulullah (saw) has mentioned the manner**
In all, Religion is the foundation
Property, beauty, wealth are just for a short duration
Has she forgotten what she learnt?
Just for the sake of love – she’ll get burnt
A parent can do so much
A prayer and a hope to Allah, in this state as such
That our baby girl realizes her mistake
As her future is at stake.

* There are three qualities whosoever has them will taste the sweetness of Iman: loving Allah and His Messenger above all else, loving someone solely for the sake of Allah, and hating to return to disbelief after Allah has rescued him from it, as much as he would hate being thrown into Hellfire." (Sahih Bukhari).
** The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "A woman may be married for four reasons: for her property, her status, her beauty, and her religion; so try to get one who is religious, may you be blessed."

Allah the Most Merciful
Is it really, is it so?
How can one really know?
Will the book of deeds be on the left or the right?
Will there be delight or fright?
One things for sure - Allah is Most Merciful
That is what we all can hope for.

Solace of Allah
My heart longs for the solace of Allah,
and my fingers grasp the Holy Qu'ran.
I bow to Him in my wonder
and hope my faith will never be gone.

My Heart Beats
My heart beats with excitement
At the pleasure of reciting Your Name
O Allah, wipe away all my sins
And fill my record with voluminous good deeds.

The Dunya
And nobody said it was going to be easy,
Who said it won't make you cry?
Did somebody tell you that you wouldn't trip, slip or fall?
Tell me, who made you think it isn't hard?
That your heart wouldn't be broken?
Mistreated?
Abused?
Tired?
Used?
Who told you it was going to be easy..?,
That you weren't going to make mistakes?
That you wouldn't fail?
Why do you keep saying you don't need me?
And I don't need you?
Who told you, you have to be alone?
That this burden, you have to carry on your own?
Test after test?
Trial after trial?
No sign of the end?
Is that what you’re waiting for?
Who said you wouldn't grow old?
That your health would always hold?
What made you think that he was yours?
And not a gift from Him?
What made you think you were perfect?
Well, who told you there couldn't be change?
Why do you keep remembering your old ways?
Didn't He show you the road to take?
And reminded you about him who wants you to go astray?
But He gave you tauba? An open way?
Why don't you take it?
Who told you it was going to be easy?
Give me their name!
Our worlds are so different.
But yet we are the same.
Didn’t they tell you, you're just a traveller?
That you have to cross this bridge?
That the other side is nothing like this my friend?
It is eternal bliss.
Didn’t they tell you about the drink that you'll sip? (inshaAllah)
By the Prophet's (s) hands?
That you'll be united with your loved ones, as happy as can be?
That you can invite them to your tea party?
Didn't they remind you, His Mercy overcomes His Wrath?
That no one is more Generous than He?
Didn't they describe to you the Gardens so green?
Where you'll sit and rest so peacefully?
Did they not tell you to think big and just try your best?
To keep going even when things seems dark?
Did they not guide you to make your intentions sincere?
To be genuine and honest, and to trust in He.
Did they not tell you, anything is possible?
Dreams can come true?
What you seek is what you will find?
So think positively.
Think good of He.
Nobody said it’s going to be easy.
But be patient my friend.
Don’t look down, look ahead.
And be for He...

Intellect and Heart
Intellect one day said to the heart
"I am a guide to those gone astray
Though bound to earth, i reach the heaven above
Just see how far reaching is my sway
I am cast in the mould of legendary Khizr
i am destined in the world to show the way
I am interpreter of the book of life
I am an attribute of divine display
You are but a drop of blood
i am the envy of ruby's ray"
"It's all true", the heart replied:
"But look at me, be as it may
You look at life's trauma and drama
I see through life's white and gray
You deal with outer manifestations
And i am aware of the inner fray
Knowledge is to you, intuition is to me
You seek god, I show to pray
Limit of wisdom is restless doubting
I am a cure for the malady of dismay
You are a lantern to illumine a spot
i am a lamp to illumine the way
You deal with the concept of time and space
I deal with the concept of Judgment day
To what lofty place i do belong
I am pedestal of God Almighty i say."
Allama Iqbal

Beauty Tips
For attractive lips
Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands,
one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.
And the beauty of a woman, with passing years, only grows!

Allah
Allah is truly the Almighty,
Who can create by simply saying be,
His beauty is beyond our imagination,
Leaves you to ponder in fascination,
He holds all beauty.
To worship him is our duty,
It is He who gives life from the dead,
'Be' is just whats needed to be said,
Its amazing how he created us all from one soul,
To worship him alone should be our goal,
He loves us all like 70 mothers,
Its is only Him and no others,
Allah holds all power,
Worship him before the final hour,
He is Merciful, Forgiving...I can go on for days,
To Allah belongs all praise.

Salat is Better than Sleep
Salat is better than sleep
Salat is better than sleep
I hear this as my phone sings
Salat is better than sleep
and better then food that I eat
yet I struggle to get on my feet
Sleep is better than Salat
Sleep is better than Salat
thats what I hear but it is not me who speaks
The Ummah of Muhammad (SAW) sleep
rather then pray what has been ordained
may Allah forgive our mistakes which are grave
the birds tune I hear, praising their lord
but my sisters snore forgetting about their lord
I struggle to wake and make wudhu ever so slowely
but I am now ready
off the the mosque now since I'm ready
with my father by my side
I'm off to the mosque now
even the hypocrites attended fard salats in the mosque
so what am I if I do not pray in the mosque
Salat is better then Sleep
As-Salatu khairoon minna noum
Salat is better than sleep
I hear this as my phone sings
Salat is better than sleep
and better then food that I eat
yet I struggle to get on my feet
Sleep is better than Salat
Sleep is better than Salat
thats what I hear but it is not me who speaks
The Ummah of Muhammad (SAW) sleep

Whispers of the Night
by Sh. Abu Yusuf Riyadh ul Haq
I pounded on the door of mercy as the world slept
And humbling myself before my Creator I wept
Hands raised high and head bowed I knelt
And dejectedly began to lament what I felt
With a torn heart I gave a tongue to my woes and fears
And in great anguish and sorrow I let flow my tears
With poignant emotions raging in me so fierce
I hoped that my prayers would the heavens pierce
Oh Maker of my destiny, Master of my fate I cried
Thou art the only refuge and succour for one so tried
'Tis before Thee alone that I bemoan
Sufferings of mine only to Thee known
Pains and torments that I can no longer bear
Hopes and wishes I can entrust only to Thy care
For 'Tis only the ocean of Thine infinite bounty that sustains all
And only Thy forgiveness that restores those that fall
'Tis to Thee alone Oh Benevolent that I extend my hands in plea
To whom besides Thee can this wretched soul flee
Forgive my sins and grant me my desires Oh Almighty
Reject me not, for nothing can redeem me save Thy mercy
I pounded on the door of mercy as the world slept
And humbling myself before my Creator I wept
Hands raised high and head bowed I knelt
And dejectedly began to lament what I felt
With a torn heart I gave a tongue to my woes and fears
And in great anguish and sorrow I let flow my tears
With poignant emotions raging in me so fierce
I hoped that my prayers would the heavens pierce
Oh Maker of my destiny, Master of my fate I cried
Thou art the only refuge and succour for one so tried
'Tis before Thee alone that I bemoan
Sufferings of mine only to Thee known
Pains and torments that I can no longer bear
Hopes and wishes I can entrust only to Thy care
For 'Tis only the ocean of Thine infinite bounty that sustains all
And only Thy forgiveness that restores those that fall
'Tis to Thee alone Oh Benevolent that I extend my hands in plea
To whom besides Thee can this wretched soul flee
Forgive my sins and grant me my desires Oh Almighty
Reject me not, for nothing can redeem me save Thy mercy
