Surah Yasin: The Heart’s Elixir

In the Quran’s embrace, a jewel we find,
Surah Yasin, a treasure for humankind,
A chapter of light, a balm for the soul,
Its verses like rivers that eternally roll.

In the heart of the Quran, it finds its place,
A divine message of mercy and grace,
Proclaiming God’s oneness, His power, His might,
Guiding us from darkness to the radiant light.

A tale of a town, its people unaware,
Of the messengers sent with messages to bear,
Their rejection of truth, their hearts veiled in pride,
The consequences of arrogance, they could not hide.

But Surah Yasin offers solace and relief,
A soothing reminder, to our sorrows, a reprieve,
In times of despair, it brings us back to prayer,
With its verses, our burdens become easier to bear.

A call to reflection, to ponder and to see,
The signs all around us, in the sky, earth, and sea,
Life’s transient nature, its cycles and its phases,
A reminder of God’s eternal, unchanging graces.

“Peace!” is the greeting, the angels declare,
As they welcome believers, as they enter with care,
In gardens of bliss, a reward for the just,
In Surah Yasin’s verses, we place our trust.

So, let us recite it, let its meanings sink deep,
In Surah Yasin’s wisdom, our faith we will keep,
A source of tranquility, in times of distress,
Surah Yasin, the heart’s elixir, a gift we confess.

Surah Al-Baqara: The Cow’s Noble Tale

In the pages of Quran, its verses so profound,
Lies a chapter named Baqara, a treasure to be found,
A tale of guidance, wisdom, and God’s eternal grace,
With lessons for humanity, in every time and place.

The Cow, a sacred symbol, in this chapter’s name,
Represents God’s guidance, a beacon’s gentle flame,
Two hundred and eighty-six verses to explore,
A comprehensive guide, from the core to the shore.

The stories it unveils, of prophets and of old,
Of Adam and of Moses, their stories widely told,
Abraham’s unwavering faith, a shining, steadfast star,
Throughout the generations, guiding from afar.

The guidance for the faithful, the law to understand,
A framework for justice, with God’s compassionate hand,
Prayers and pilgrimage, fasting in devotion,
In Surah Al-Baqara, God’s divine promotion.

But within its sacred verses, a challenge does arise,
For those who turn away, whose hearts and ears close their eyes,
The similitude of darkness, their hearts in heedless night,
A cautionary lesson, to seek the eternal light.

So, let us delve within, this chapter to explore,
In Surah Al-Baqara, seek wisdom to implore,
For in its noble verses, a path to God we’ll trace,
A timeless guide for all, in every time and place.

Surah Al-Kahf: The Cave of Wisdom

In the depths of ancient time’s embrace,
A tale unfolds of faith and grace.
Within the cavern’s sacred space,
Lies Surah Al-Kahf, a treasure’s trace.

Four noble souls, their hearts ablaze,
Seek refuge from the worldly craze,
In a cave where time suspends its phase,
With trust in God, their path they raise.

Dhul-Qarnayn, a king of might,
Journeyed far, seeking the light,
A traveler through day and night,
Guided by God, his compass right.

Two gardens, a story’s core,
One humble, one seeking more,
A test of faith, a lesson’s door,
In Surah Al-Kahf, forever to explore.

The parable of Moses, a prophet’s quest,
Seeking knowledge, humbly blessed,
With Al-Khidr, on a sacred quest,
Wisdom unfolds, a divine bequest.

And last, but not the least,
The coming of the Antichrist’s beast,
A trial of faith, a darkened feast,
In God’s protection, believers find peace.

In Surah Al-Kahf, lessons profound,
In every verse, in every sound,
Seeking truth, our hearts unbound,
In God’s guidance, we are found.

A journey through the cave’s retreat,
In search of wisdom, oh, so sweet,
Surah Al-Kahf, a blessed feat,
With God’s light, our path complete.

So, open the pages, hearts engage,
In Surah Al-Kahf, a timeless stage,
Where faith and wisdom, hand in hand,
Lead us to God’s eternal land.

Surah Al-Fatiha: The Divine Key

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful,
Surah Al-Fatiha, a heavenly marvel, so beautiful.
Seven verses, a universe contained within,
A key to the divine, where our journey begins.

Alhamdulillah, the praise to the Lord we bestow,
The Cherisher, the Sustainer, in His love we grow.
Rabbil ‘alameen, the Lord of all worlds, we declare,

Our devotion and worship, to You we endow.
Iyyaka nasta’een, in You, we find aid,

Guide us, O Lord, along the righteous path,
A journey through life, protected from God’s wrath.
The path of those favored, whom You hold dear,
Not of those who stray or live in fear.

Ghairil maghdubi, nor those who went astray,
We seek refuge from that heedless way.
Through Al-Fatiha’s verses, we find the light,
To keep us on the path, both day and night.

Ameen, we say, as our hearts align,
With the wisdom and love in each sacred line.
Surah Al-Fatiha, a divine key to our soul,
In its timeless words, we find our ultimate goal.

In every prayer, a connection we find,
To the One above, so loving and kind.
Surah Al-Fatiha, the opening so profound,
In its heavenly echoes, our faith is bound.

The Azaan’s Call: A Spiritual Reverie

In the quiet dawn, before the sun’s first ray,
The Azaan’s call begins another day.
A voice that echoes through the tranquil air,
Awakening souls with a whispered prayer.

From minaret heights, it gracefully flows,
A melody of faith that steadily grows.
Each sacred word, a note of deep devotion,
Guiding hearts toward a heavenly ocean.

With whispered verses, it gently implores,
To heed the call that earnestly implores.
“Come to success, come to divine grace,”

A call to gather, to kneel and to pray,
To seek forgiveness at the break of day.

To walk in faith, come what may.

In Medina’s Glow: The Green Dome’s Embrace

In Medina’s embrace, a tranquil night’s breeze,
The Green Dome Mosque, where hearts find their ease.

Where Prophets walked, and hearts are kept warm.

In Umrah’s Light: A Pilgrimage Unveiled

Amidst the sands where prophets roamed of old,
A journey beckons, stories yet untold.
To Makkah’s sacred heart, we make our way,
In search of wisdom’s light, by night and day.

The Kaaba stands, a beacon pure and bright,
A symbol of devotion’s endless flight.
With footsteps light, we circle round in awe,
A cosmic dance, a sacred, humble draw.

The ancient call to prayer, its echoes roll.

A timeless bond with God, our hearts decree.

Two sacred gems that shine with endless light.

Jummah’s Grace: A Day of Spiritual Embrace

Jummah, a sacred day we hold in awe,
When hearts align with the divine law.
As the sun ascends, our spirits rise,
In reverence to God, we lift our eyes.

The mosque adorned, a tranquil abode,
Where believers gather, their faith bestowed.
The Imam’s voice, a soothing refrain,
Guides our souls through the spiritual terrain.

In congregation, we stand as one,
Seeking forgiveness for what we’ve done.
A blessed hour, a chance to renew,
Our faith, our purpose, our hearts pursue.

The sermon imparts wisdom and grace,
With every word, our souls embrace.
The Quran’s verses, a source of light,
Illuminating our path, banishing the night.

We bow, we prostrate, our sins we confess,
In submission and gratitude, we find our address.
The supplications, like petals they fall,
Granting us solace, answering the call.

Jummah, a day of mercy and bliss,
A sacred time we never want to miss.
For in its embrace, our souls find release,
In the serenity of Friday, our hearts find peace.

The blessings of Jummah, too numerous to count,
A spiritual journey, a divine account.
May we carry its grace throughout the week,
With hearts full of love, humility, and meek.

Jummah, a reminder of God’s love so divine,
A chance to seek His mercy, His light to shine.
In this sacred day, we find our way,
Drawing closer to Him, come what may.

In the Realm of Love

In the realm of purification, a path so divine,
Love guides our steps, like a radiant sign.
The journey back to Allah, through love, we tread,
Learning to embrace it, in every tear we shed.

Love’s purest expression, gratitude, we find,
In its gentle embrace, we leave woes behind.
Kindness flows like a river from within,
A conscious act of love, free from ego’s sin.

Humility’s the key, as we offer our grace,
Without expecting praise, in this sacred space.
To give without conditions, with sincerity’s art,
Unfolding from a pure and selfless heart.

Expectations fade, as we embrace God’s light,
In the realm of love, we banish pride’s might.
Through self-awareness and honesty, we see,
Actions born from ego, or our soul’s decree.

Conscious-giving is the path we must tread,
In humility, we offer, with each word unsaid.
Empowering others to find solace within,
To seek the Divine, where true love begins.

Detach we must, from outcomes and praise,
Strengthening connections in life’s intricate maze.
Teaching others to seek God on their own,
Through acts of kindness, seeds of love are sown.

As we embark on this path, with hearts so free,
We learn the sacred art of receiving, you see.
For giving and receiving are two sides, we find,
Of a coin named Love, in the soul’s design.

With hearts full of love and humility’s embrace,
We journey toward Allah, in this sacred space.
With gratitude as our guide, we’re never alone,
On the path of Love, our hearts have found home.

The Journey Within: Do You Feel Worthy?

In the depths of self, a journey unfolds,
Where nature and nurture, their tales are told.
A dance of the spirit, an intricate design,
A fusion of energies, both yours and mine.

Energetic legacies passed through the years,
Generational echoes, joys, and tears.
We’re spiritual beings, in essence, we’re told,
Beyond science’s grasp, where mysteries unfold.

Surrender, a path, where challenges arise,
Nature and nurture in a gripping disguise.
A childhood consumed by self’s endless quest,
To ask them to yield feels like they’re put to the test.

Yet surrender’s the key to break the ego’s hold,
To free the soul’s longing, a story of old.
Unworthiness whispers, a shadow in sight,
Self-sabotaging beliefs, in the absence of light.

In childhood’s programming, the ego takes flight,
Preservation of self, its eternal fight.
But asking to Surrender, it seems, to resist,
To cease one’s existence, a daunting twist.

In relationships, these patterns recur,
Judgments and impatience, unkind actions occur.
Selfishness and self-critique often abide,
A punishing God, in whom they confide.

A yearning deep down, in each heart, resides,
For love that transcends, where the soul abides.
The essence of God, the Love that’s so vast,
Our reunion with Him, our longing’s steadfast.

Yet illusions of form hold us in their sway,
Creating a self, in a fragmented display.
These times, some label “the age of destruction,”
With suffering, alienation, and spiritual deduction.

Childhood lacks nurture, love seemingly absent,
Unmet needs and yearnings, as history’s accent.
Compensation arises, nature takes its stance,
Extroverts chase power, while introverts seek a chance.

Unbalanced relations, self-sacrifice, or need,
A quest for fulfillment, from pain we must heed.
Self-love is the answer, the first step we find,
Cultivated within, not in love undefined.

Through Divine Love’s embrace, we turn the tide,
Toward self-sufficiency, in God we confide.
From our authentic core, selfless love’s birthed,
No longer attached, in love’s dance we’re immersed.

Divine Love empowers, the ego does wane,
In authentic living, our truth we regain.
Relationships now balanced, intentions held right,
Conflict transformed, into unity’s light.

Through introspection’s mirror, traumas laid bare,
We heal our deep wounds, with love we repair.
Communication authentic, harmony’s found,
In the balance of self, we’re no longer bound.

As ego dissolves, and self-love takes the lead,
We’re drawn to the source, our innermost need.
A path of self-discovery, profound and so true,
In Divine Love’s embrace, we find life anew.

So journey with courage, with wonder and grace,
The path to the self, a sacred embrace.
In this realm of mysteries, we’re eager to glean,
The wisdom within, where the soul’s light does gleam.
