The Path

Hadhrat Abdullah bin Umar radiyalaahu anhuma had mentioned, "Whoever wishes to follow the way of another, should follow the ways of those who have passed away. These were the companions of Muhammad sallalaahu alayhi wassalam, who were the best people of this Ummah. Their hearts were most pious, their knowledge was deepest and they were least pretentious. They were people whom Allah Ta'ala had chosen to be companions of His Nabi sallalaahu alayhi wassalam and for the transmission of His Deen. You people should emulate their character and mannerisms. By the Rabb of the Kaabah! The Sahabah radiyalaahu anhum of Rasulullah sallalaahu alayhi wassalam were correctly guided."

A Poem to Muslim Women (and to a Partner in this World and Aakhirah)


One of the least expected thing (even to myself) that I unconsciously like to do is writing a poem. However, I realised that the poetic mood only came once a while, rarely I should say. Well, I don't really know how to explain it. I had written a few poems in my lifetime based on events and what really affected me at certain time. Well, actually I only wrote a handful pieces of poem in a very long span of time.

This piece of poem had been written about 10 years ago, specially dedicated to my beloved wife and daughters, and the Muslim women in general.

O Woman!
You are like a princess
Holding the highest place in the hearts of common folks
Be thankful that Allah raises your stature above others
You were raised as dignified royal families
But how could you become unfamiliar with the royal ethics?
Unheard of the Royal Decree?

O Princess!
Your royal stature demands you to be in isolation
Surrounds by maids and  guards.
"The Princess is not to leave the palace as she please"
Understand the reason behind the decree
It distinguishes a princess from a commoner

O Wife!
You are like a rare precious stone
So rare and precious that you are locked in a safe behind the wall
O Wife! 
It is not a place for the precious stone to be outside among the garden stones
Or else it will be kicked and stepped on just like the common garden stones
