Our Memories
Though you may
not see Him,
Verily, He sees
you,
Though you may
not hear Him,
Verily, He hears
you,
Though you may
not remember Him,
Verily, He
remembers you in good company,
Not a single
moment has He left you in doubt,
Not a single
page of your life that He has not read aloud,
Every glance,
every tear that you shed,
Every laughter,
every smile and playful pout,
All your joy
and bitter regrets,
All your good
and all your bad,
All your within and all your without,
Like a
riverfall descending down the mountain side,
Like the little
fishermen boats that run through the harbour,
You course
through His thoughts as you make your way to Him,
To His sea and to His mercy,
And along the
way,
You met me
And you helped make
Our Memories.
…………………………..
Dearest mother,
How I miss your
smile and laughter. Your impregnable optimism and your fire. How I miss your
cooking, all that fish and vegetables. How I miss you bringing fruits and
produce from other countries. How I miss you greeting the many friends and
family who would come to our house, bringing light of laugh and love into our
lives.
Dearest master,
How I miss your
presence, silent and all-encompassing. How I miss the way you say my name. And
how you made me feel. You were small in stature, but somehow you seemed to me
seven feet tall. I still have your number in my cellphone. If I call it, who
will now answer?
Dearest
dearest,
You were ever
present in these, the memories of my mother and my master. My beloved, benovelent,
most kind and merciful Creator. I knew you were there. I had no doubt. For you
have given me a life rich with love and laughter, tribulation and ease, success
and failure. However my life has turned, I knew I had your undivided attention…

Subhanim Allah,
Sultanim Allah, Nabim Muhammad alayhi salam.
Wa min Allah
at-taufiq
Hate has no
place in Islam
Love will show
the Way
My happiness is
by their side
I await the Day
