Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra)
A slim, elderly man with a fair complexion and a small beard rides his horse in haste through the streets of Madinah. The streets that were normally bustling with life are shrouded in grief. He makes his way through the stunned crowd gathered at the masjid and, without addressing anyone, enters his daughter’s […]
Walled
April 8, 2012
Confined behind walls, Sealed in by stress. We become narrow-minded, Petty- And full of regret. … A conceited sense of control… The roof is within our reach, But the sky is not. You can switch on a light, But not a sunset. … Foolishly we attempt to please, Everyone in our walled world. Disdaining the […]
The Educated Muslimah
March 16, 2012
Originally published at Habibi Halaqas http://www.habibihalaqas.org/2012/03/educated-muslimah.html Bismillah A Muslimah is not an ordinary woman. Her status cannot be understood in this world but will become apparent in the Hereafter. When she is returned to her Lord, she finds that He is pleased with her and to her is granted the honor of drinking from the fountain […]

Presumptions of Piety
February 23, 2012
“… Allah is the ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light…” (2:257) To journey through the pages of the Quran is to pass through doors illuminated by the light of Allah subhaana wa ta’aala. Gradually each verse becomes a new threshold to be discovered and explored and each […]
The Heart Weeps
February 16, 2012
The heart weeps. Not the eyes. They just drench themselves In pain. Hoping someone will notice, Someone will care. It is the heart that weeps. Softly and silently, Seeking comfort in solitude, And finding none. Hoping only, That a moment of pure grief, Will bring some forgiveness Of some past sin, Or the acceptance Of […]
Seeking Sabr (Patience)
February 15, 2012
Anger doesn’t just happen. Like a pot of water put to boil, It starts with a hiss. Like a sharp intake of breath. Little bubbles of fury form Deep down, inside the pot. And erupt slowly to the surface. Steam clouds reason. Swirls squirm out of control. As the eyes roll, The rolling boil contorts […]
Sajdah
January 25, 2012
The sweetness of a Sajdah The bliss of fleeing the world, Just for a moment. … The praise of Allah, The words of remembrance Like magic they open… … Hands touch the ground Push open the doors between The temporal and the eternal. … His nearness I feel. My heart melts in the warmth. I […]
A-cuss-tomed To Profanity
January 10, 2012
http://www.suhaibwebb.com/personaldvlpt/character/a-cuss-tomed-to-profanity/ There is a path that I walk on almost every day. It is a curved, narrow strip of concrete between a patch of lush woods and a winding road. In the early morning it is deserted and it is easy to step on it and get lost in one’s thoughts. There is the rhythmic […]
Nur (Light)
November 12, 2011
The layers of darkness The veils of despair Abuse in the home Tyranny in the street Suspicion clouds judgment Blinded by their fears they retreat Into the shadows of distress And defeat … Superstition seals their sight Greed devours their souls They lust after Power, profit, and pride An insatiable hunger The desires of […]
