Your Mercy enlightened my soul; I found my purpose, and my reason,

You are my treasure, my light and my hope,

My tears of anguish, bring sweetness to my sorrows,

I fear Ya Allah, happiness in this world, may take me away from Your remembrance,

I seek struggle, only to call out to Your Mercy,

My tears for You, are like the diamonds to my treasure,

Your appearance is unknown to me, yet I have already felt so much of your beauty,

My soul was starving without Your remembrance,
& Your Mercy only filled it with sweetness, and brought me back to life,

You are the happiness of my soul, & it was the hearing of Your Mercy & Love that set it alight,

My attachment to this Duniya, is my longing & yearning to reach close proximity to You,

For if, by Your mercy I enter Jannah, I would reminisce on the times I felt your beauty through my worship, even when you were veiled from our eyes,

The vain pleasures of this Duniya are only temporary and a deception, & my struggle against them with Your remembrance,

& to feel the coolness in my soul, could never amount to what the pleasure I turned away from could give,

My longing to see Your face, is my Jannah in this world, nothing can bring harm to it, or take it away but by my disobedience to You,

Help me to remain firm Ya Allah on the Sirat-Al-Mustaqeem, & hold strong to Your rope, for if I am detached from You,

I will lose my reason to live, & I will lose my Jannah that I carry with me,

Help me to remain sincere & earn nothing but Your pleasure,

My desire is only to be one of your Beloved...
Ameen

A Letter to the Prophet (Pbuh)
by
Aysha Khanom

If I saw your smile, I would cry out of happiness,

If I saw your tears, I would cry out of sadness,

If only I was there to catch your tears,

I look into the mirror, and wish to see you there,

When times are hard, I wish for your company,

Your smile alone, would dispel my sorrows,

I ask myself, what would you advise me,

I first read about you, and your mercy and compassion towards others, and I fell in love,

I pray to Allah to help me follow your footsteps,

Just to even sit where you sat,

Walk where you walked,

You are my role model,

My reflection in the mirror which I can’t yet see,

I want to love what you love, and dislike what you dislike,

I stand in prayer, and look to my side wishing you were there,

You are the friend I am searching for,

But I know I will never find,

You truly are the ‘one’ out of mankind,

If I was ever given the chance to catch a glimpse of you, I would travel from the West to the East,

I only wish to be like you,

I miss you….

I can now only wish to be the closest to you on the Day Of Qiyamah, because even then I will be comforted by your presence,

I thank Allah for making me part of your Ummah, and is above an honour to aspire to be like you…

For you truly are a Mercy To Mankind…


"We have sent you (O Muhammad) as a mercy for all the nations" Quran 21:107
