What happened to those days when my Imaan was strong?
When I wouldn't dare think of doing anything wrong
When my yaqeen in Allahسبحانه وتعالى would lead me through
The good and bad .. the old and new
What happened to those days when my du'aa was sincere?
When there was absolutely nothing on earth that I would fear
When I was certain that Allahسبحانه وتعالى was really near
And would run to Him and leave all that is dear
What happened to those days when I could read and recite Quraan well?
When I bought al-Jannah and this dunya I would sell
When my heart was pure and all full of light
When my qiyam was my only source of strength and might
What's wrong my nafs .. why did you fall?
Don't you know that Allahسبحانه وتعالى knows and hears your call?
A little test like this one shouldn't beat you so
It shouldn't pull you down to a level so low
Don't you know that Allahسبحانه وتعالى chooses what is best
And that this is all a previously planned test
Don't you know that Heسبحانه وتعالى hears your soul .. Heسبحانه وتعالى hears your cry
Heسبحانه وتعالى sees you fall... Heسبحانه وتعالى sees you sigh
Allahسبحانه وتعالى is Great... Allahسبحانه وتعالى is Al-Hakeem
His ways are just no matter how dark it may seem
Hold on my nafs to the fireball in your palm
Hold on to it and when it burns act calm
Whenever it falls, bend down and restart
Let those tears fall and wipe that heart
Remember my nafs the beauty of the promised firdaus
You know it's your dream to build there a house
Get back on your feet and go back to those days
I know this only a passing phase ..
Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both
(jinns and men) deny?(55:16)
May Allahسبحانه وتعالى guide us to remember Him in all aspects of our lives.
May Allahسبحانه وتعالى forgive all our sins and mistakes that we made intentionally or unintentionally.
Aameen
