ME

Please look at me

I am a lost soul covered with dirt

Will somebody still take me

I am a sinner, low and filthy

Will somebody accept me

I have no penny nor health

Will somebody look after me

the only comfort I have is Allah

Ya Allah, in You I believe and in You I give my life

Ya Allah, I kneel before You, love me and accept me

For I know You will for those who believes.

When I say. . .I am a Muslim

When I say. . .I am a Muslim,

I'm not shouting " down with Christians and Jews."

I am whispering "I seek peace," and Islam is the path that I choose.

When I say. . . I am a Muslim,

I speak of this with pride.

And confess that sometimes I stumble, and need Allah to be my guide.

When I say. . .I am a Muslim,

I know this makes me strong.

And in those times when I am weak, I pray to Allah for strength to carry on.

When I say. . . I am a Muslim,

I'm not boasting of success.

I'm acknowledging that Allah has rescued me, and I cannot ever repay the debt.

When I say. . .I am a Muslim,

I'm not claiming to be perfect.

My flaws are indeed visible, but Allah forgives because his followers are worth it.

When I say. . .I am a Muslim,

it does not mean I will never feel pain.

I still have my share of heartaches, which is why I invoke Allah's name.

When I say. . .I am a Muslim,

I do not wish to judge.

I have no such authority. My duty is to submit to Allah's all-encompassing love.

Fiamanillah. Wassalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

All my friends departed like dreams

left alone i called upon one friend to become my entire dream

this is the one who soothes my heart with endless tenderness and love

the one who one hour bestows inner peace and the next the nectar of life this dream too as it arrives i come alive

and as it departs i'm helpless again
