“Seest thou not that to Allah bow down in worship
all things that are in the heavens
and on earth,-
the sun, the moon, the stars;
the hills, the trees,
the animals;
and a great number
among
mankind?” The Noble Qur’an Al-Haj (22:18)

Salaam alykum,
Maybe you are unaware of this, but I am quite passionate about a particular issue: the translation of The Qur’an into American Sign Language for the first time.
I realize that during Ramadan we get bombarded with requests for funds, but, it is not everyday that we get the chance to help give people access to The Qur’an.
If you need convincing, please check out...

I wish to enter into that place
I wish to enter into that place, the gardens too soft for time, the sights too light for pain or grief; I wish to slide along the slopes far above the sky, down and over, beyond the flesh–– Oh, I wish of your countenance, Ya Allah, if I can ever bear the breathless breaths.

I dream
I dream of fulfilling the hopes of those greats, to rise above the trenches, and command my heart, to, within the darkness of the night, become the khalifah of my soul. Ya Allah, only to you do I beg for guidance, straight to the path that leads every inch along the long streams and trees, and closer to myself – Ya Allah, closer to the pressing reality of your complete uniqueness: that being your...

"O Allah,
“O Allah, make my love for You the most beloved thing to me, and my fear for You the most fearful thing to me, and remove from me all worldly needs and wants by instilling a passion for meeting You, and when You have given the people of the world the pleasures of their world, make the coolness of my eyes (pleasure) in worshipping You.”

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“Allah the Almighty said:
‘I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an...

I know this might seem superstitious, but I find it really cool that when I went to go pick up the Qur’an from from my desk, my booklight fell, and upon falling, it turned on and lit up, almost as though by holding to this sacred book, there also comes this beautiful light.

Nature is jealous of you
Nature is jealous of you: you’re far more adored by my pen, with the light to inspire centuries of poetry, millenniums more of thought and awe; you are better than a rose, a clear blue sky… you are infinite.

I’ve sewn up another poem through the pores of my skin,
words to never forget, all the words behind every smile, the speech within a hug, the long stories hidden inside a goodbye. I’ve sewn myself to you, whether I like it or not.

Motionless
I always crawl back into that cave after a couple of years, divorced from the sun, sleeping again with the darkness that clothes my skin. It’s hard to believe that tomorrow really does come, it’s hard to believe that I can someday escape myself. Everything just seems like a long, painful journey, even the opening up of an eye. This is why I haven’t awoken for so long, and why I...

how long?
how long have I been in this waiting room? wasting away, repositioning my seat, rocking back and forth; how long have I remained still? with empty thoughts, hollow emotions, waiting for my life to finally start.

Like us
I fell asleep listening in to the discourse of night and day, their longing for each other, how they chase and chase, but never meet, the sweet, soft poetry they whisper, how close they come but only to be separated again by some force unknown. I never realized that we were a lot like that. I can almost imagine night and day enveloped by one another, a state of bliss, a sight beyond words,...

I took my soul to the ironing board
A while back, I took my soul to the ironing board, and flattened out all of what I was, and all of what I felt. Now, every so often I lay down again like a nervous patient, ready for my treatment, ready to forget.
