Along the way she met joy and happiness
But she wasn't satisfied
She realised none of them were what she was looking for
Valley, hill and mountain she climbed
Lake, stream and river she crossed
Quest to clarity she called it
With each passing day she grew weary
Never ever did she lose hope though
She hoped and prayed for better days
For herself and those whom she loves
Peace 🕊️ isn't supposed to give you sorrow she thought
Every moment of happiness was short lived
Making her question the purpose of life itself
She dreaded freling happy
Since sadness was bound to tag along
All these feelings go hand in hand she thought
One gives rise to another making them all interconnected
You see she might act childish but deep down she's a woman of great intellectuality and wisdom
She's responsible and loving
She knows her worth
She gives and doesn't expect in return
She's determined to seek the truth and thrive
Destiny is not a joke
Allah doesn't decree except with insight
Certainty in the Lord's mercy
She knew He wouldn't let her down
There's goodness in everything
Even if it seems harmful from the outside
Never judge a book by the cover they say
True to every letter
She contemplates on every little and big thing
Is life really worth all the struggle?
Then she sets her thinking correct
This is a testing place not a resting place
Our purpose here is to gather enough good deeds for our hereafter
It was nearly dawn
Allah has descended to the lowest heaven
She spread out her prayer mat
Did the ablution
Wore her prayer cloth
Prayed two rakahs of Tahajjud
Raised her hands and supplicated to the One above
Unbeknownst to her, tears welled up and started flowing down her cheeks
She opened up her Quran and began reciting
Verily in the rememberance of Allah do hearts find rest
She felt relieved
Why should she climb mountains and cross rivers when the answer to her confusion and sorrow is far more closer and in reach
Sure there will be struggle but with Allah by your side anything is possible and everything is worth it
She is me and you and anyone who's willing to be
So let's be the better version of ourselves each day
We will be magnets to success in this life and the next
Peace 🕊️
