Fallen...

I am lost.
I have no sense of direction.
Turning right or left just leads to another situation.
Turning back just leaves me with another complication.
My soul starts to malfunction as I slowly lose hold of that connection.
But You have never left me... not even for a second.
So why is it that I feel nothing more than emptiness?
There is only one explanation.
I have walked away and fallen for all the temptation,
further and further away with every distraction.
But I am not forsaken for You have never left my side.
For You have said Walk to me and I will run to you,
call Me and I will find you.
The light of Your guidance is what I so dearly miss,
I need it to remove this darkness within.
My Lord I have traveled so far away,
bring me me back to the right way.
Oh Allah! Grant me the strength to pick my self up
for I have fallen so low and I have allowed this world to run through my veins.

Forgive me is all that I can say and do not allow me to ever go astray.

What I am and how I feel is something only You can take away.
This pain in my heart is beyond any pain,
I feel my Imaan slowly starting to slip away.
Oh Allah! Bring me back to You before it becomes TOO LATE.

Umbrella Of The Ummah...

Our Ummah is in such a state that if our beloved Prophet (SAW) was to see us right now He may not even recognize us. Our Brothers and Sister around the world are suffering to the extent of thinking that its a norm. There suffering is NOT a norm, it's completely out of order. I don't know when the world will start to realise that enough is enough, you can't fight guns with guns.Where is our common sense? Whilst the politicians think they are fighting an evil it is costing the lives of innocent civilians. The simple Human right to life is slowly starting to become a myth for some people. We need change. That change starts with US as an individual. We need to understand that we as an Ummah are one body, if one part of the body is not functioning properly it is up to us to fix it. If we want to change the state of our Ummah we need to change ourselves and those around us first, without those basic foundations how is it that we plan to change the world. Every action we do in this world will have a repercussion on our Ummah, it is our responsibility to make sure it is a good one. Without helping ourselves how can we truly help others?

Oh believers our Lord is One. 

Our Ummah should be one.

But are our hearts truly one?

Is our Ummah one body?

Do we share the same tears, heart and lungs?

Or is that just another analogy we choose to ignore?

How much blood has been shed? 

How much tears have been dropped?

How much souls are now gone?

Their pain should be our pain,

but are we an umbrella to our believers when it truly rains?

Are you living for yourself or you living for they (Ummah)?

Are you clinging on to the dust called luxury, 

or has the Dunya betrayed you and left you insane?

Or are you waiting for the Akhirah because the Dunya has nothing but afflictions and pain?

Tears for our brothers and sisters have been slain,

cheers to the ones that have been brave. 

There are those amongst us burying the truth and putting lies on display. 

Oh believers we will have our day, 

the tears of yesterday will become our smiles for today. 

Put your faith on display like the moon and the stars at night,

Be patient for the promise of Allah is surely coming our way.

(A poem by Anonymous Aliza that sums it up beautifully... Jazakallahu Khair for everything May Allah reward you in this world and the hereafter. Allahumma Ameen.)
