“The language of the soul cannot be sufficiently translated into written or spoken word . Actions are preferred, for they speak louder”
Follow the signs
Shadows dancing, delicate to summer’s warm embrace
birdsong,
raindrops,
petals in your palm

Go back
and read again the book you

Or like a favourite rose

So kindly, as He chose.
Forever
From

of every second passed
of every sin, miscast
of every prayer or fast
You need Me
and my Mercy, vast.

“May Allah reward hardships with every reward, for it was only through them that I discovered my friends from my enemies” – Imam Shafi’i
The Strong one

to the Right Hand of the King

warmed
by the Splendour of His Palace and His Presence.
Outside of seven rooms
are seven gates, each
guarded by a thousand angels
The Exalted King anoints me
The Strong one.
