Dhkir/Zikir

There are hundreds of benefits associated with Zikir, the act of rehearsing and celebrating the praises of Allah SWT. Zikir strengthens the heart and body, illuminates the countenance and the heart, leads one to prosperity, and itself a raiment of awe, splendour and glory.
Zikir nurtures the love of Allah SWT in the heart and draws the worshipper near to Him. Allah SWT throws open the doors of understanding for the worshipper engaged in Zikir. 
Zikir engenders awe of Allah SWT, invigorates the heart, cleanses it, washes away it's transgressions, and it also closes the gulf between the worshipper and the Creator. Zikir strengthens the spirit. By rehearsing the praises of Allah SWT, the worshipper comes to know Allah SWT comfort in times of hardships, and hope of redemption from His wrath.
Zikir causes a feeling of assurance and well being or Sakinah to descend upon the heart enveloped in the warm glow of Allah SWT mercy. The angel sit with those who quietly recite the praises of Allah SWT and will from grief on the Day of Resurrection.
The Prophet Muhammad SAW said,
One who remembers Allah SWT in seclusion and weeps will remain in the shadow of Allah SWT on the Day when there is no shade but His. Allahuakbar

Imaginary

Imagination is like a window
That looks through time
Above time and beyond time
Unveiling the multiple facets of reality
Revealing the illusion of its own existence
Hiding the footsteps of eternity
The truth beyond logic
The path of righteousness
Illuminated wisdom
Hidden inside our hearts

Hope

In the light, I find strength to cope,
For every stumble, there's a glimmer of hope.
With each step forward, uncertainty will ease,
Yet, in the dance of life, I find my place.
No matter the path or the winding trail

Family

The best feeling in this world is family.
From it, we draw love, friendship, moral support and the fulfillment of every special need within our hearts.
In a family, we are connected to an ever present source of sunny moments, smiles and laughter, understanding and encouragement, and hugs that help us grow in confidence all along life's path.
Wherever we are, whatever we're doing, whenever we really need to feel especially loved, befriended, supported, and cared for in the greatest way, the very best always waiting for us.🌹

Lonely

Lonely are the stars, lonely is the night
A lonely cloud wanders, silently it cries
It's raining tears tonight
It's such a lonely night
Even my shadows desert me tonight
It's such a lonely night

A Good Tune

Good old music is one of a kind,
It will pick you up at your lowest,
Leaving your troubles behind.
When life gets you down play a good tune,
Forget all your sorrows and woes,
Just turn up the volume as loud as can be,
Tapping your fingers and toes

Wander

And slowly
I wander this world that I know
I find myself
Dreaming that one day I'll go
To a place
Where I can be free
And when I'm there
I'll finally be able to see.
I feel life passing slowly
And I know what I must do
Just know that the world is beautiful
