The Masked Dreams...​
I had once dreamed of teaching this concept that I thought was essential,​
after which I figured my personality..​
It was one of the dreams, like the many feelings and​
thoughts that would have been considered irrational,​
so I was determined to find a group who would appreciate my work..a group I could​
refer to as my family...​
Throughout my life, had I continuously tried and failed,​
I thought my feelings will remain concealed within my skin and bones,​
because..it was always the wrong people behind whom I had often trailed,​
the ones who would later throw me to the side..and blow me off with curt, flat tones....​
It made me cry, this cruel world in which I live,​
I felt the enveloping darkness suffocate me and take over my heart,​
But the One Existence Who was the Planner had sent me people who were​
always positive,​
who always were there for me when I was torn apart...​
The dream of mine was to preach Islam,​
my soul reason for existence had I wished to complete:​
Enjoining good, forbidding evil, and greeting with Salam,​
I wanted to reinforce the concept of the Islamic way to greet...​
And here I am, on a site I call my home,​
a distraction it sure is (;)),which consists of my favorite community,​
the first place where I saw the bond of Brotherhood reform,​
I'm so glad! I finally found my family!​
And yet, to add to the happiness here,​
a newly purified soul..a new sister steps in..reading the Shahadah (Emma13)​
and finally, she courageously makes herself declare:​
Ash-hadu anna la Ilaha illAllah, wa Ash-hadu Anna Muhammedur-Rasulullah!​
So what I learned was that the world is not wholly cruel,​
because in the huge shadow of darkness is a Guiding Light,​
it's our perception, how we view the World with a confused soul,​
but deep inside, we all know that in one way or the other, we​
can force ourselves to choose what's Right...​
Let's hold hands and release the sorrow, the hopes and​
the dreams that lay masked,​
Let's take a huge step as one, promoting and maintaining the Brotherhood,​
Yes! We can express ourselves, whether or not we're asked,​
because there's this small part of the world that still cares..and will always​
help you feel good..​

I don't know if the brother/sister had meant it, but I wrote this poem based on the saying:​
I learned that the world didn't see the inside of you, that it didn't care a whit about the hopes and dreams, & sorrows, that lay masked...
masked by skin and bone. It was as simple, as absurd and as cruel as that...
The quote had a huge impact on me..it was an eye-opener because I have only recently experienced the cruelty of the world...which is why I wrote the poem...it was the only way I could express myself..and the people mentioned know who they are, although I'm tagging but a few:)
Thank you very much for being the most special people in my life...especially you...Emma13 and Raweeha :)

Your talent is what takes my breath away.
My love, I repeat, you can simply never imagine how this poem touched my heart.
I can relate to the first few lines where everyone here calls the other brother or sister(Bhai or Bhai-ita?) I have never seen such welcoming friends in my entire life or family.. Heck my own cousins never called me that..

I never liked poetry cause I never seemed to understand what the writer was trying to convey and I hate that.. But with you, I did understand, relate and love this.

A cruel world, that is ruled by the most loving, merciful ruler, your trust in Him and how u know that this is all planned makes me admire you even more. It pains me to know that something made you cry, my beautiful knowie.

Almost five years ago when my sister tried talking to me about this even when I didn't say shahada she said your interest in Islam and how you love it is like you already joined. She was always wiser than me even though I am older by a few mins.. And it's as if she knew she would be going soon.... always advising me.
Well she said your intention matters. And knowie if your intention is to spread Islam then you probably will and if you don't I am sure you will be rewarded(people please correct me if I am wrong)


Ever since arafa(my sisters name after she changed religion) passed I cried four times. At Her funeral, when I accepted shahada in that mosque, when I was reading your poem, the forth is probably something in between I forgot about.

Thank you for accepting me to Islam in THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WAY
Thank you for writing this divine, awe-inspiring poem
Thank you for considering me as someone special in your life
Thank you for being you.
Never EVER change knowie. You are amazing. I love you. :]

This moved me sis <3 There are but a few people born with a talent like yours, to express every feeling they have into a rhymed piece of poetry <3 I have always loved poetry, but haven't been writing for quite a long time, this has made me feel like just grabbing a pen and paper, and starting to write again <3
May Allah (SWT) grant you with the ability to always keep on writing in this way, inspiring others and making them feel special as you go on. Aameen. :)
PS: And in case, i haven't mentioned it to you before, you really are an amazing, unique and splendid person :)

I m a sinner, d advanced kind,
Defying d Covenant(in sm way), dat, b4 birth, i signed...

Blemished, Bruised, scarred, I now realize
The magnitude of my deeds, my sins, their size.

Constant reminders plus five prayers a day,
So I refuse to, under the weight of the world, fray..

My Lord, the Giver of Victory to all,
Thee, Rabbi, You I call...

An arrogant soul I wish mine to bring down
Before You, my Master, please delete my frown...

My head hangs in shame, I bow solely to Thee,
From the burden of my crimes, PLEASE SET ME FREE... :'(

Emma13 you have a talent of making me cry..happy tears =')
Al7amdulillah I am able to touch you and welcome you..but you only deserve much more. All this is because I am feeling guilty that I am unable to meet you and hug you in person Emma....
And yes..you're right, your deeds are based on your intention..MashAllah! Fast learner huh? May Allah Reward your sister for placing a little seed of acceptance in your heart and may she wait for all of us in Jannatul Firdaus..and may we, holding hands as one Ummah, join her and enjoy the everlasting blessings inshAllah..
Please..don't mention it...you make me feel very shy, each time you thank me...in the end of the day, my motto, after all, is: Anything to make you smile:)
Love you..Emma, love you..and I know I can't replace your sister (May Allah have Mercy on her)...but I can always try and be lke a real sister..can't I...(but the problem is: I sure as hell am not a very wise person ;))
Jazakillahu Khair, love...

Jazakillahu Khair, love...

:) I am glad they are happy tears.
You should never feel guilty about that because it is something that isn't your hands..
I am an average learner :') but I just remember every word she said.
Amen! Amen! We shall meet her if Allah wills :)
Well knowie mission accomplished darling i am smiling from ear to ear.. I should probably stop cause my face is starting to hurt.
You are right you cant but i dont want you to replace her i count you now as sister to both me and her. LOL I am not expecting U to be wise or so serious love, your usual self is more than enough.. Plus its moms jobs to be wise when we become ones then we can be wise together :D
Ps: I am very thankful that not even once you said RIP.. It irritates me. I like 'May Allah have mercy on her' ALOT MORE! :)
