Sayyidah Rabi’a al-’Adawiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her and elevate her rank) was an incredible figure in Islamic spirituality. Her love for the Divine and poetry is truly captivating...
O God the stars are shining;All eyes have closed in sleep;The kings have locked their doors,Each lover is alone, in secret, with the one he loves,And I am here
too; alone, hidden from all of them - With You.
The true knower looks for a heart that comes from God alone.As soon as it is
given to him, he gives it back again So that God can hold it hidden in His
Mystery,Safe from the tampering of human hands.
Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure.Your Name on my tongue is the
sweetest word.My choicest hours Are the hours I spend with You –
O Allah, I can’t live in this world Without remembering You–How can I endure
the next world Without seeing Your face? I am a stranger in Your country
And lonely among Your worshippers:This is the substance of my complaint.
In love, nothing exists between heart and heart.Speech is born out of longing,
True description from the real taste.The one who tastes, knows;the one who
explains,lies. How can you describe the true form of Something In whose presence
you are blotted out? And in whose being you still exist? And who lives as a sign
for your journey.
Let me hide in You From everything that distracts me from You,From everything that comes in my way When I want to run to You.
Subhan’Allah, may we aspire to be like Sayyida Rabi’a and follow in her footsteps by increasing our devotion and love for the Divine!
My Faiths Goal
May Allah Ta’ala grant us His Love and the Love of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) , such that it becomes easy to give up all sins and submit to His Obedience. May He protect us all from the mischief of nafs and Shaytaan. May He fill our hearts with Love, Adab, Akhlaq and Sabr for this beautiful Deen and inspire us in being a practical and good Muslims and be true role-models to our community.
"I want to die with my forehead on the ground,the sunnah in my heart,Allah on my mind, the Quran on my tongue & tears in my eyes."
Remember
Through the Zikr of Allah Ta’ala one may achieve recognition and Maarifat of Allah Ta’ala.

Light of Dawn
I wake with the light of the dawn whispering with joy in my heart and with praise on my lips. In stillness and twilight i stand before you bowing, prostating i call Allahu (swt).
My eyes see your beauty in the dawn's golden hues. My ears hear the thunder as it gloriies you. The rhythm of my heart beats the sound of your name. My breaths rise and fall with the tide of your praise. My soul knew and loved you before i was born and without your mercy is lost and fortorn.
Wherever i may wonder down the pathways of life, my cry to you Allah (swt), is "guide me to ligfht" through all fear and helpness, to you do i turn for your breath of healing and peacedo i yearn. For all that i have , my Allah (swt) all that i am is from you, is for you and to you will return. Inshallah
