WORDS

Words don't move
Only actions do
You can't have one without the other
So keep it balanced mah brotha
Everyday life choices
Means a balance in our voices
Walking with humility
Truth remains the soliloquy
Keeping ourselves in check; makes the best example set for humanity
It's not about being strict
It's about dedication
It's not a battle of argumentation
It's a way of submission
Each take their course
But there's a fixed re-course
Walk the middle path without making exceptions to the rule
Modern day society is not the correct measuring tool
Don't choose to play the fool
The way have been paved
May we walk it in the best of ways.. Ameen

When things do not go exactly the way we wanted, when we do not achieve what we have tried so hard to or when we feel so let down by others then always know that for as long as we have faith ; trust in the Almighty, He definitely has something better in store for us, has saved us from a calamity or disaster that would have been in our path or has elevated our status through surrendering to His Decree. We are not considered believers until we are pleased with the Decisions of the Almighty. This will save us from much anxiety and depression. Try your best and leave the rest to Him.

Sahih: Worse than thirty-six acts of zina

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“A dirham which a man consumes from riba knowingly is worse before Allah than thirty-six acts of zina.”



(Narrated by Ahmad and al-Tabarani; classed as saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Jami’, no. 3375)

You can imprison the body but you can't cage the mind
The power of man limited to the physical
Can't touch the understanding , and definitely not the soul
Break down the weapon of fear and you'll find a coward
Holding on hard to the tyrant, feeling secure
Wait until you lay below, let me know how it goes
For the heart that's aligned
You can never dine, you'll only strain the lion
Feast on your incapacity to control
For the ability is beyond your hold
They'll grow old worshipping
You'll grow old torturing
In the end your fate is the same
Death will meet, how'd you plan to greet?
It's all so street
Rule with a deception of power
Even if it means tearing down towers
We all return back to Him
How will you bear your sin?.....

Have you heard the moans pain causes?
Have you seen how age weakens giants?
Quivering hands , legs can't stand
Have you seen illness create discomfort?
Have you witnessed the world narrow when in strife?
When the self is in a fight, 'you' is all that matters
Haters can hate, fakers can fake
When you're in a state of pain, everyone else can jump the plane
It really doesn't matter
So what's to say about our hereafter?
Hell a promised abode, iron collars, near death cries
But a destination where death no longer lies
What will cause us to continue to remember our reality?
I write this guilty....
I know nothing is worth it
It's all about sincere worship
May death be the best day of our lives, wherein a blissful eternity lies...Ameen!!
