When Feeling Down…

al-Fatrah in our religion means different things. One is ‘the period of intermission’ experienced by the Prophet s.a.w. when the revelation of al-Qur’an was stopped for a while. It was distressing for him especially when the non-believers started making jokes about it. But he s.a.w. showed patient and Allah finally sent down surah ad-Dhuha to end the period, in which one of the verses calmed him down, by saying which means, ‘Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor is He displeased with you,’ and that caused great joy in the life of the Prophet s.a.w.

Last Breath

From those around i hear a cry,
an awful soft a hopeless sigh,
i hear their footsteps leaving slow & then i know my
SOUL MUST FLY..

a chilly wind begins to blow within my soul from head to toe,
& then the last breath escapes my lips,
it’s time to leave & join my soul..

so it’s true but it’s too late,
they said each soul has it’s given date,
when it must leave its body’s core,
and meet with it’s eternal fate,

at last it’s come to,
HEAVEN OR HELL,
decide which now,
do not delay,
come on my brothers let us pray,
decide which now do not delay,

OH GOD!OH GOD!
i cannot see my eyes are blind,
am i still me?
or has my soul been led astray,
and forced to pay a priceless fee?

alas to dust we all return,
& shall rejoice while others burn,
if only i knew that before the line grew short & came my turn,

& now as beneath the soil,
they lay me with my record flawed,
they cry not knowing that i cried worse,
for they go home,
i face my God!

oh!mark the words that i do say,
who know tomorrow could be your day,
at last it’s come to,
HEAVEN OR HELL?
decide which now do not delay,
come on my brothers let us pray,
decide which now do not delay…
