A New Hobby
hey guyss.... Labels: HOLY QUR' AN
for some reason...i picked up a new hobby...
now i really like to write poems...
well, my cuz Sufi started writing poems in his hp
so i thought i'd give it a try
my first poem was abt my ummi
right after that poem...i just cant stop writing poems
i didnt tell Sufi of course....but surely he'd read this post
i made 4 poems abt the HOLY QUR' AN just now(sorry for any spelling errors)...
Would I be guided?
Would I be strong?
Would I be protected from evil and wrong?
Would I hear my Creator's Words?
Would I hear Him describe the birds?
Would I know the stories of the old?
Would I realize their worth in gold?
Would I find safety when others fear?
Would I find peace whilst sitting here?
Would I be happy when others are sad?
Would I be protected from going mad?
Would I be patient when things get tough?
Would I be firm when the seas are rough?
Would I get to know the One above?
Would I increase for him my love?
Would I be aware of the Day to come?
Would I value what is worthless to some?
Would I be able to sleep at night?
Would I be able to see with His light?
Would I have examples to follow?
Would I rejoice when others are in sorrow?
Would I have fear of the Burning Fire?
Would I be at the bottom of the sea,
And have hope, that one day, my Lord will release me?
See for yourself the Divine Spectacle
So produce something like this Oracle
Nothing you can do to cause me harm
Their bits of scrap behind me trailed
If it is Allah’s will, from me you cannot part
A change will occur so very deep
Many blessings from me you will accrue
This is not something that I readily deserved
But otherwise ignored which I totally loath
Recitation of me will be your good deed
Including Salaah regularly pray
Open my cover and become delightful
Cover to cover you won’t get tired
Follow them if you will, and to your soul be kind
The Creator’s marvels will take you to the skies
The graveyard is where you too will head
May Allah’s light descend upon you
Your brain and heart will soon run out of room
Everything to say has already been said
I look down at the faithful and give a big sigh
Sent to be read and sent to be heard
The one who is prompt to recite it is free from all fear.
Revealed to our noble Prophet (SAW) by Gibraeel (AS) who took the lead,
The blessed angel who encouraged him to start with a simple - 'READ'.
A book so glorious and powerful, no mortal can ever find.
Each verse of the Holy Qur' an is so filled with rhythm and beauty,
A reminder before Judgement for each one to fulfill their duty.
It cleanses our heart of impurity and makes the weak minded strong.
It guarantees the pious and righteous a place they so desire,
A warning to all hypocrites to escape from Hellfire.
You would still need more for this very thought to sink,
That the Words of Allah(SWT) can never be exhausted,
And can never be compared to anything concocted.
To either pick up the Qur' an or leave it lying there.
Now is the time for you to sit down and contemplate,
Are you going to struggle to make or break your fate?????
Read the miracle, read the Qur' an
92 surahs revealed in Mecca, 22 in Medinah
Read it every day and to read it be proud
The word Qur' an means to read it aloud
Over 6,000 verses and 77,000 words
Read with respect, no disturbance, no laughter
from Al Fatiha to An Naas, all 114 chapters
And say Allah ho Akbar, meaning Allah is great
In this book, 25 prophets are mentioned by name
Who came at different times but their message was the same
Sent from Allah (swt), to an angel and then to a man
That man was Muhammad (saws), the best of creation
And we are proud to be part of his nation
He gave us a message and that was Islam
So read this miracle, read the Qur' an
