اللَّهُمَّ صَيِّبَاً نَافِعَا
Allaahumma Sayyibann Naafi’aa
“O Allaah, (bring) beneficial rain clouds.”
(Bukhari – Fathul-Bari 2/518)
As she walked down the street
With only little in her purse
Homeless and beat
But feeling no curse
With only little in her purse
Homeless and beat
But feeling no curse
A stranger walked to her
Told her a sad story of loss
He asked her if she could spare some money
She realized Allah made their lives cross
Told her a sad story of loss
He asked her if she could spare some money
She realized Allah made their lives cross
She opened her purse
Only little did she have
She gave him what she had left
Not wanting to leave him feeling sad
Only little did she have
She gave him what she had left
Not wanting to leave him feeling sad
He was grateful and left
She turned and walked away
Just then a drop fell on her nose
Of something she had prayed
She turned and walked away
Just then a drop fell on her nose
Of something she had prayed
A long summer drought
Started since May
She prayed everyday to her Lord
Please bring abundance of water today
Started since May
She prayed everyday to her Lord
Please bring abundance of water today
Months later that drop readily turned to more
The Heavens opened up
And the rain began to pour
The Heavens opened up
And the rain began to pour
Her heart leaped with joy
Jumping in the puddles, knowing she’s come home
She knew Allah heard her prayers
Another day another leap of faith for Islam
She was given and shown
Jumping in the puddles, knowing she’s come home
She knew Allah heard her prayers
Another day another leap of faith for Islam
She was given and shown
A gift from Allah
For her giving a moment in time
To a stranger in need
Even if it was as small as only the last of her dimes
For her giving a moment in time
To a stranger in need
Even if it was as small as only the last of her dimes
