Alhamdulillah, What made Him Special … FAith

Darkness shadowed over days; fear over night In my journey My journey toward the light Letting go of the past Shaytan did not want Keeping grips Holding firm This, the last of his term There was a man who was sent He Sat and read Qur’an He kept the torch lit for me In the Darkness before the dawn Twists and turns he journeyed through With me by his side He taught me so many helpful things Though with this my patience always died Now...

Another step toward Salaam

The man in black glared at me Not a word did he say As I sat with a lighter under a tree I thought “Was I his prey?” I looked away and back again Still he stood near me I wonder what this could be about While I sat under the tree The next minute as I looked No where was he?
