2012-01-26T09:38:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Serious is this;
you know, our eternal bliss;
yes, that's what's at risk...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Lasting Friend

2012-01-26T09:36:00.000-08:00

Other unions end;
GOD's our only lasting friend;
no need to pretend...

may GOD be pleased...ameen

Evil Scars

2012-01-20T04:10:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Clinging to this life;

scarred by my struggle & strife;

with the devil's knife...

may GOD protect us all...ameen

GIft Sharing

2012-01-20T04:05:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Daily the sun shines its luminous light;

yet I see clearest in the small of the night...

A place where I can quietly sort out my head;

finding more comfort on my knees than in my bed...

My wide spread rug, being similar to a chest;

is where I cry away fears & lay burdens to rest...

My forehead kissing the floor in the most intimate way;

is one of the many positions I can be found in when I pray...

Wrapped in GOD's divine love is where I long to be;

so sleeping away these hours isn't an option for me...

The turbulence of this life, without HIM, would be too rough;

for this reason alone I can never praise my LORD enough;

Yet the reasons, HE is worthy, are countless to say the least;

and next to my sincerest worShip GOD is beauty; I am beast...

So since there's no exhausting GOD, this gift I invite you to share;

because what I've found in Tahajud I've been unable to find elsewhere...

may GOD be pleased...ameen

Rope of Hope

2012-01-19T12:05:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

When it's hard to cope;

hold on to the DIVINE rope;

It's our only hope...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Does Our Yin & Yang Align

2012-01-19T12:00:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

I see you though you try to hide;

your very strong, but pious stride;

free of arrogance yet full of pride;

it's clear to see ALLAH is your guide...

As you observe from a lowered gaze;

your humbleness keeps me amazed;

as I watch you give GOD HIS due praise;

I become mesmerized in the best of ways...

Our silent attraction is hard to ignore;

yet we both hesitate, we've been here before;

not wanting to ask but wanting to know more;

we patiently wait for GOD to open the door..

Are you the missing link I seek to find;

can you carry a heart as heavy as mine;

will my yin and your yang evenly align?

to have my wali inquire I'm so inclined...

Now as I strive to give GOD back my full attention;

my minds still wonders about your heart's intention;

as a single righteous believer, is it also your mission;

to unite with a like mate by GOD's permission...

Interest is a prerequisite for marriage all will agree;

but our status doesn't mean we're destined to be;

There are other candidates in the matrimonial sea;

but following you goes beyond simple interest for me...

Falling in love again is not the goal;

its to nurture my spirit with a similar soul;

I humbly desire the other half of my whole;

ready to assume my divine given role...

I have no doubt about GOD's promise being true;

somewhere in creation is my mate who may be you;

to pray & patiently wait I've been instructed to do;

and if you're not my him, I'll be grateful GOD knew...

may GOD be pleased...ameen

Word Vacations

2012-01-18T16:44:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

APPRECIATION;

for each writing vacation;

bringing sensation...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Seeking Refuge With Praise

2012-01-18T16:42:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Perfection is the LORD's alone;

over heaven & earth sits HIS throne...

We are strivers if we choose;

to be receivers of the Divine good news...

We'll be tested with family, loss, & wealth;

as the devil works to steal our spiritual health...

Make no mistake this life will come to a halt;

if we end up in hell, it will be our own fault...

May we remain in worShip giving GOD HIS due praise;

constantly seeking refuge from the one who betrays..

may GOD be pleased...ameen

Just Comply

2012-01-18T13:16:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

We're going to die;

but folks, there's no need to cry;

if we just comply...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Plain Jane Explained...A Tamu Hamed Inspiration

2012-01-18T13:00:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Plain Jane meaning to the point and clear;
not trying to send complexities to the ear...

Messages of caution is what I aim to deliver;
warnings about the day when every soul will quiver...

Though, for those souls with whom GOD is pleased;
they will rejoice gratefully with others who believed...

They say leave them be in their falsehood and such;
may GOD forgive me for loving others so much...

I just want for my whole world what I want for me;
to be of the recipients of the remaining 99% of GOD's mercy...

may GOD be pleased...ameen

Don't Risk It

2012-01-18T12:09:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Be very concerned;

we get just what we have earned;

don't risk being burned...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Real Concerns

2012-01-18T11:02:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Superman doesn't exist;

wonder woman is a myth...

The only ONE who will save the day;

is GOD so start now, take time to pray...

Salvation isn't a guarantee;

Heaven's not promised, it's a mercy;

To be granted solely by the Almighty;

Free will is ours, but it can be our curse;

for it gives us the option to put other than GOD first...

Tricks & treats

can lead to defeat;

and eternal heat;

once this life is complete...

The grave will be our new beginning;

if we knew with certainty we'd stop the sinning...

For everlasting peace, every soul yearns;

Please don't ignore, these are real concerns;

there will be no exchanges or returns;

we only get one chance to avoid hellfire's burns...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Today Choices

2012-01-18T09:59:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Lay your burdens down;
Turn them over to GOD now;
Pray away your frown....

may GOD be pleased...ameen

Lovin' Livin'

2012-01-14T17:28:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

My heart is open;

I'm believin' not hopin';

Livin' not copin'...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Mama Hustlin'...A Michelle Finch Inspiration

2012-01-13T06:34:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

A mama's hustlin' is never done;

so I'll type this quick cause I gotta run...

Wouldn't trade family hustlin' for nuthin' in the world;

for it would mean giving up my three precious girls...

In their eyes very few can cook better than me;

and they never seem to tire from rollin' in mama's taxi...

Cleaning, shopping, laundry, & the countless drop offs too;

are just a few glimpses of what mama hustlers have to do...

Sleep becomes a luxury we sometimes can't afford;

but this is understood the day the doctor cuts the cord...

Although a mama's hustlin' may never be complete;

she finds solace in knowing heaven lies beneath her feet...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

The Jummah Way

2012-01-13T01:07:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Jummah is the day;

the Muslims gather to pray;

then go 'bout their way...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Ghetto Free

2012-01-13T00:38:00.000-08:00

Bismillah....

Grateful for my home;

yet I'm ready to move on;

Ghetto please be gone...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Open Plain Jane

2012-01-12T15:42:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

When it comes to poetry you can call me Plain Jane;

I'm very simplistic and to the point, no metaphors about the rain;

99.9% of the time I'm praising my LORD's name;

the rest of it is my attempt to keep from going insane...

No need to read between them, I'll put it all on the line;

Call it a flaw or my best attribute, but I freely speak my mind;

I've learned to be more cautious, a gift that came with time;

but it's not my duty to make you happy the rule is that I be kind;

Now I can do nothing less than uphold and deliver the truth;

my only weapon against falsehood is sound indisputable proof;

I fire into the open plain unlike the snipper who waits on the roof;

because I'm on borrowed time & no longer have the luxury of my youth...

I won't ask you to forgive me for it would mean I did something wrong;

but I will request your respect in an attempt to keep our relationship strong...

In the company of the silent is not where Amelah belongs;

for to not be known as the weakest of faith she's worked her whole life long...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Void These

2012-01-12T13:52:00.001-08:00

Bismillah...

Insecurities;
breed more uncertainties;
from your life; void these...

may GOD be pleased...ameen

Believe, Reflect, Remain

2012-01-12T12:26:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Sisters believe me;

GOD made reflections of we;

just remain worthy....

may GOD be pleased...ameen

His Me & My He

2012-01-12T07:03:00.000-08:00

Bismillah....

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Ramatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

I was born muslim, but future mate that's not a requirement for you...

I have three daughters, two are still at home,

and me not being actively present I'll never condone...

I am a community outreach worker, home schooler, and mother full time...

My ultimate goal is saving myself & family from the fire by serving the DIVINE...

I strive to be a vehicle that encourages and implements change;

my favorite pastime, is keeping my tongue wet with my LORD's name...

As a member of Muhammad's (s) constantly growing community.

I bow down where they bow down in praise of the ALMIGHTY...

I claim no specific jummat, tareeqah, or madh-hab and have no intentions of doing so...

Tauheed is my requirement, so where it is established I make it my business to go...

I am striving to renew myself, mind body and soul;

yes it is a struggle, but I know ALLAH is in full control...

Please note, I don't have a wali, I have a wali committee;

to help guide are 4 couples in addition to my family...

My ideal partner is striving on the path that leads to the Most High;

He is humble & strong enough to submit when his heart inclines him to cry...

He is not confined by one community or of any particular sect per say;

to bow down where believers bow down is this brother's spiritual way...

Providing financially is not a burden for him, it's his joy to seek GOD's pleasure,

and the degree he has over me isn't abused because he's aware I'm a treasure...

Increasing his knowledge, then sharing are attributes he reflect,

while our taqwa, faith & honor he constantly seeks to protect...

His desire to be physically active is yet another attractive trait;

for I'm a sister seeking assistance in releasing her extra weight...

Though my home is my domain, captive he doesn't hold me;

he allows me to actively contribute to our inner & outer community...

Extremism is a reflection he has no desire to see in himself;

balance is the formula he uses to maintain his spiritual health...

Sura Ar Rahman being memorized as part of my dowry made his heart smile,

because denying any of our LORD's many favors is certainly not his style...

His need for immediate offsprings has already been fulfilled...

yet about assisting with the guidance of my girls, he's more than thrilled...

Not combining our homes completely is a concept he wholeheartedly embraces;

out of respect for my daughters modesty he sees the wisdom in us having two places...

This is a short description of Amelah El-Amin's ideal muslim man;

Now she will patiently observe as her LORD unfolds HIS master plan...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen ♥

Living To My Tune

2012-01-11T10:44:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

♪ Too much too little too late; ♪

Hold up wait;

I believe in the MOST GREAT;

I will try and try and try again;

may I stop only when my life comes to an end;

To kiss my forehead to the floor, may my knees always bend;

Created SOULY for worShip, may GOD protect me from sin...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

I'm Just Saying

2012-01-11T05:50:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

The early hours are reserved for praying;

Its the perfect time for devil slaying;

Take advantage now before in the grave you be laying;

This is the only take so we bets not be playing;

I'm just saying...♥

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Fellow Seeker

2012-01-10T18:31:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

If it wavers in your chest,

It's probably not best;

so why not lay it to rest?

Hanging on to sharp edges;

walking along nearly invisible ledges;

screams "distress" despite what the voice pledges...

Tick tock repeats the clock of life;

while periodic pain cuts like a knife;

but ease naturally nurtures human strife...

HE promises to be what we believe HIM to be;

& faith is incomplete without acceptance of decree;

so may every soul seeking soon come to see,

what is sought is solely found with GOD Almighty...

may GOD be pleased...ameen

About You? Not!!!

2012-01-10T16:41:00.000-08:00

Bismillah....

Whether I'm enjoying or fighting you;

I promise to always do right by you;

for the love of GOD not the love of you...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Struggling Me

2012-01-10T15:51:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Somewhere inside of me lies me,

the very best of me...

You see, what you see

are remnants of me,

glimpses of me,

reflections of me,

but not all of me...

Parts of me hold back parts of me,

which makes it a challenge for me

to free me...

So I Struggle,

but struggle is not new to me,

it coaches me,

refocuses me,

and constantly reminds me,

that the very best of me

lies inside of me...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Rich Reflection...An Amir Sulaiman Inspiration

2012-01-06T04:56:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

You see,

if you weren't my reflection

you wouldn't have been able to see my piety.

if your words were less profound

or your thoughts more grim,

youd be one from whom I'd seek protection for myself.

if your heart less gold and your naffs more swole-like

then you could not sing into my heart like love birds.

but you're my reflection and you'll protect me

and youve stirred in me a passion monsoon; my heart's in your grasp.

rich man

rich reflecting man.

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

5:32a An Indiigo Inspiration

2011-12-31T06:15:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Sis, at 5:32 I'm so feeling you...

It's the freedom of faith that carries us through...

Imagination grows up to be inspiration;

when followed, it can change a nation

& most definitely any common situation;

Even as I type I can't still my contemplation...

Anyone who steps this way

must be actively preparing for judgement day...

You see this life's almost invisible bliss

ain't worth risking Furdous, you feeling me Sis...?

May our faith be intensified

by the Most Magnified

for from our fate we can't hide

yet every pre ease we can take in stride...

Ya Rabbi, please be our guide

and protect us from the possessor of foolish pride...

May ALLAH be pleased...Allahuma Ameen ♥

Balanced Account

2011-12-22T18:01:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Cheat GOD, there's no way;

account now or judgement day;

good or bad...just pay!!!

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

My Silent Pen...an early hours confession Inspiration

2011-12-22T07:17:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

I find much peace in the silence of my pen,

for when it writes it blares my screams from within;

or the shouts from the tip top of my brain;

my hope is that the best of me will keep me sane...

And she usually does, or at least that's her claim;

But I know it's Almighty GOD & the remembrance of HIS name....

One of my greatest lovers is the ability to write;

Yet instead of taking it by the hand I put up such a fight;

a fight driven by the fear that others may see the distortion in my light;

surely my essence knows better, but I'm constantly running from her insight...

Yes, there is much freedom in releasing the ink,

but it's more sacred than my blood for it exposes what I think,

which most times is on the brink of me trying not to sink...

Don't get me wrong with me strength does reside;

but it's more for you not me because my weaknesses I must hide;

no one can know there's a needy Amelah so I prop her head up with pride...

Not a pride of arrogance but a pride of disguise;

because of my inner weaknesses, only GOD can be the wise;

So in the small of the night I release my weeping eyes

and into the chest of my LORD I unleash my soulful cries...

for that is my only refuge from the devil's constant lies...

So maybe there isn't much peace in the silence of my pen;

for unless I allow it to speak I may explode from within;

and surely self destruction is considered a major sin;

and the best of all lovers is one who is also your friend...

For the sake of self love my friendship with writing I must regain;

it will help me in the process of quieting the chatter in my brain,

falling second only to the frequent & faithful remembrance of my LORD's name

It's my divine right to have inner peace so I begin my journey to stake my claim...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Choices Change...A Naeemah Amirah Sabree Blacksher Inspiration

2011-12-02T12:08:00.000-08:00

BISMILLAH...

WHERE IT BEGINS AND ENDS...

JUST US & GOD...NO FAMILY NO FRIENDS...

DOING WE IS A MUST FOR WE...

IT MATTERS NOT WHETHER OTHERS UNDERSTAND OR SEE...

GOD KNOWS ALL...WE KNOW SO LITTLE...

WE CAN'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE EVER CHANGING RIDDLE...

CHOICES~CHANGE~CHOICES~CHANGE~CHOICES CHANGE...

YET THE ULTIMATE GOAL WILL REMAIN...

FOR GOD NOT MAN/WOMAN TO BE PLEASED...

MAY OUR GOAL BE SEIZED...ALLAHUMA AMEEN

Generations Lost

2011-11-02T16:11:00.000-07:00

Bismillah....

The saddest thing I have found yet;
is for someone to have known ALLAH and then somehow forget...

Our own communities I sadly say,
from many angles have led the way...

Masjids and Islamic Centers once filled are now abandoned or up for sale;
many of the prior members have forsaken the straight path for a road to hell;
or for things like rape and or child molestation they sit in jail...
Oh yes, this is an untold story that someone has got to tell...

How does a whole community lose its grip;

Did we just let go or was it by an accidental slip?

True many of our elders have managed to hold on;

but countless souls from the next few generations have just up and gone...

There must be some accountability or forever we will have to atone...

Al Islam isn't a religion its a way of life to be followed and obeyed;

its manifestations are reflections of how a community of individuals behaved;

giving a pretty accurate account of whether or not folks were spiritually free or still mentally enslaved;

Do we want to recover or just leave things as they are;

we are in need of solutions yet we haven't found them thus far...

To Be Continued...may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

The COST of being FREE

2011-10-13T09:03:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

The repercussions of divorce can effect generations of our progeny...

There's often GREAT cost, even when it's absolutely necessary to break free...

YA RABBI, YA RABBI, YA RABBI;

please protect the hearts, souls, & minds of the children now & those yet to be...

& may YOU be pleased...Allahuma ameen

I Cross My Broken Heart...An Ishmael & Monique Redden Inspiration

2011-10-12T09:58:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

"Breathe!!!" I tell myself as my heart races like a thoroughbred in a race;

As I struggle to figure out why I can't halt the tears rolling down my face!!!

You and I have been done now for a while;

We ended with the promise to always lend the other a smile;

and if our helping hand was needed to extend it we'd walk a green mile...

But wait; married to another; my friend are you sure?

and since it was you who broke my heart shouldn't loneliness you endure?

I don't like the way this feels, how can you moving on be the cure?

Maybe this is my proof that your love for me never was 100% pure...

Woe Little Lady...Now Breathe...Okay Now Continue...With Ease...

You know what devil, get thee behind me;

if we were meant, then we would still be;

Him moving on is not an attack & this I clearly see;

It's GOD's plan unfolding and on my favor I await patiently ;

It's the test of our faith that gets us closer to the Almighty...

So to you my friend I say Mabruk with all my heart;

for what GOD ties together nothing can part;

friends we've always been from the very start;

and friends we will remain, "I cross my broken heart!"

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

I Pray

2011-09-14T05:18:00.000-07:00

for my souls salvation I additionally pray...

Necessary Hold...A Hajjah Karimah Inspiration

2011-07-06T06:25:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

She is one of my greatest teachers of why holding on tight is not an option but NECESSARY,

in a world that is so motha luvin sinful and scary...

Scary for the hopeful and striving mother,

who has to some times push without the help of the father/brother...

Thankfully the protection of ALLAH is like no other,

and with the light of HAQQ our children we have no choice but to smother...

Just as we would force upon them CPR,

if we found them lifeless after being hit by a car,

& at no point would anyone dare say, "that was taking it to far!"

Promoters of Jinnah we simply are...

May the fruits of our labor be seen,

and may our children's children's children's children's children's be high profile promoters and practicers of this deen...ameen

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

No Jesus(a) vs. Muhammad(s)...A Herny Mustafat Inspiration

2011-07-06T05:48:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

I constantly mediate on why,

many accept one blessing Jesus (a) while the blessing of Muhammad (s) they deny...

In Abraham's (a) footsteps they both followed to the "T";

so of our acceptance they are both more than worthy...

At least from where I stand that's what I see;

In addition to the fact that it is DOCUMENTED history...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Witnessed

2011-06-11T22:10:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

A lyrical kiss;
witnessed metamorphosis;
brings spiritual bliss...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

The Dam Door

2011-06-06T17:42:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

When the hinges on your dam door feel like they're about to give way from the pressure,

hold on to the faith that every storm comes to an end;

Now if it turns out that its been decreed for your dam door to give way, don't fight against the current,

just go with the flow knowing that on the divine wisdom of GOD you can always depend...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

GOD HELP US

2011-06-03T12:10:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

What's going on in our community???
As I type this message I pray for immunity...
Our families are falling by the waist side;

one parent homes are increasingly on the rise;

most of which were caused by the devils pack of lies...

Yet we continue to arrogantly hold these pseudo positions,

as if our community isn't being ambushed by he who refused to bow down in submission...

GOD HELP US!!!

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Wholehearted Belief...A Meres-Sia Gabriel Inspiration

2011-05-30T12:14:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

You make me proud…I am floating on a spiritual cloud…my heart beats so very loud…folks would probably hear it if I were in a crowd and would silently wonder “what is wrong with that child”…My sister, my thoughts are running wild…chanting…Amelah you too can share your inner you…” I softly whisper back to them, "I finally wholeheartedly believe this to be true!!!”

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Light

2011-05-30T12:02:00.000-07:00

Even when I can't see the light my faith provides me with light which makes my burdens light giving me the strength needed to reach the light...

Religious Context...a created voice inspiration

2011-03-30T17:07:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

He asked, "do you only write in religious context?"

I paused because I just knew an explanation would come next;

To my disappointment one never came though;

Yes, I asked him to expound, but he simply said "NO!"

So here I contemplate...

Religious~

Relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality...

I'm thinking...To be faithful to anything other than GOD would only lead me to insanity...

Context~

The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning.

So could it be that he was asking if my text and or statements reflects my way of life a.k.a. my deening?

Since this is all I have, towards this is where I'm leaning!!

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

That Is

2011-02-07T03:20:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Believe in GOD now or believe in GOD later...

That is a statement not a question!

It's to promote a lie to say Jesus (a) was GOD's son...

That is a declaration dispelling a major deception!

We will account for our every deed when judgement day comes...

That is a reality there will be no exemption!

WorShip & associate NO partners with GOD...

That is an action prefixed by intention!

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen"

Bismillah...

"I explode from inspiration overload;

a surge causing my deepest fears to implode...

Your Martyrdom freed me...

may the highest heaven be your abode!"

Allahuma Ameen

Look Up More

2011-01-08T07:09:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Look up more words, more family, more friends look up more ways to extend...

my hand, my kiss, my embrace, my love, my concern, my truth, my trust, my faith, my spiritual dividend...

so first I look within...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

If Only...an Indiigo inspiration

Bismillah...

If only sends me into a tail spin,

swirls of righteousness intertwined with sin...

if only the devil was willing to bend,

maybe his promise to GOD he'd rescind...

If only is my aspirations evil twin...

if only I could bring if only to an end...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

I seek...

2010-12-13T18:43:00.001-08:00

Bismillah....

I know I got "GOT"

on July 7th 2010 my marriage was shot...

Even though I begged pleaded prayed and cried;

There was no stopping the blood that flowed from inside;

It died!!!

The killer realizing he was tricked, is now overwhelmed with remorse;

and if given the chance to go back he'd do it all different of course...

But there's no do overs and some wounds never heal;

just as you love who you love and don't have control over what the heart feels...

So, how stupid must one be;

to long for what painfully;

striped away all dignity???

I seek refuge from the Almighty!!!

Only If We Knew

2010-08-26T06:28:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

Only if we knew;

there's so much more we would do;

to please only YOU...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Bismillah...

May my wudu extinguish the fire that could blaze my fate;

may my deeds weigh enough to get me through the pearly gate;

my worShip of the CREATOR benefits only I;

an attempt to grasp salvation cause for certain I'm gonna die;

So, I strive to seize opportunities every chance I get;

and since my goal is redemption, my prostrations I won't quit...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Bismillah...

Life is pass challenging, yet its beauty is illuminating;

Challenges exercise the muscles of faith and is spiritually rejuvenating...

Say it or say it not;

our only relief is with the LORD...HE neither begets nor was HE begot...

Life is challenging but beautiful, I do dare say;

so I embrace each challenge with the faith that relief is on its way...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

2010-03-18T17:06:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

It's like the beauty of this day,

It's a feel-ing, a trill-ing...

It's hot, yet chill-ing;

Is it spring or am I spring-ing;

Every journey is traced with mistakes,

Reflections are all that we see,

when I look at you and you back at me...

Even slow has an active flow,

the beautiful gleams of indigo!!!

2009-12-18T13:03:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

Set apart from the other women in humanity;

know me when you see me;

without any uncertainty;

I AM the reflection of Hagar's, Mary's, and Aisha's modesty (ra);

A proud, steadfast, striving Hijabi;

May "ALLAH" maintain "A Sista Like Me"...

My Pursuit

2009-10-27T12:05:00.000-07:00

It's been said that my martyrdom comes by way of my marriage and the performance of hajj;
yet at times I feel achieving such an honor is as sure as a desert mirage...
Even though, I've seen the Holy House and held the black stone in my palm...
and I've offered sajdah in front of Prophet Ibrahim's (a) Maqam...
I fight hard to be an obedient, pious, and loving wife;
and with patience I endure the many struggles and strife;
all in hopes of tasting the sweet fruits of the afterlife....

The Stream To Grace

2009-10-27T12:01:00.000-07:00

The ultimate sacrifice being the denial of self;
placing ALLAH first and foremost, keeping my taqwa off the shelf...
Not allowing the sparkle of this world to lead me off course;
I hold the light of this deen hostage, most times by force...
Paradise be my goal yet the calls from the fire ring so loud;
and even though I didn't fall this time, I can't allow myself to become proud...
So I wake during the night and out of bed I crawl;
though there was no adhan, I heard the call...
...and as I fight with the water I don't really want on my face,

I remember it's the stream that leads to my LORD's grace...

Don't Bank On It...Invest!!!

2009-10-27T10:51:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

Because we are pardoned time and time again;
many of us insist on bathing ourselves in sin...
Banking on the hope of the other 99 percent;
half embracing the message that was heaven sent...
may our hearts be soft as our heads kiss the floor;
for it's truly our only means of getting through the garden door...

Mizan/Balance

2009-10-27T10:34:00.001-07:00

Bismillah...

Dwelling in peace living out our dreams;

embracing raindrops & sun beams;

in silence no weeps, no screams;

complete balance, no extremes!!!

No Doubt

2009-10-27T10:03:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

I want to run away into ALLAH's grace;

to some hidden place;

a serene space;

to be still and embrace,

all that is in my face,

so of doubt there will be no trace!!!

You too will follow me...

2009-06-19T03:45:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...

How, is not the matter, what matters is I left;
I had an appointment to keep, and it was with the angel of death...
Now, as you embrace my leaving please take this fact to heart,
you too have an appointment you must keep, and it was written at your start...
Right now is the time for reflection, because you too will follow me;
for this world is only temporary, the hereafter holds our true destiny...

Yes I will be missed, but ALLAH said I must go,
so beg HIM to allow the light in my grave to glow...
There is no trading places;
so please honor me with smiling faces;
of despair let there be no traces;
and where you find emptiness, allow your faith to fill in those spaces...

Enough Lover For Me

2009-04-20T13:32:00.000-07:00

Bismillah...from start to finish;

May my drive never waiver or diminish.

ameen...Driven by my need to please;

I've found the only position that grants me ease;

is my forehead kissing the floor on bended knees...

Desperate for my KING'S approval and love,

through my own iniquities I push and shove...

I cry out constantly while others sleep tight;

cause I heard HE's closet to me in the small of the night...

My longing is longer than the longest of long;

my greatest desire is to bow before HIS magnificent throne...

In the house of eternal light and sweet greetings of peace;

where sorrow never visits and fulfillment never cease...

I believe HIS promise is true, and HE is what I believe HIM to be;

therefore ALLAH, Al Wadud, will forever be enough lover for me....

~a-ME-lah~

Enough Army...

2009-04-19T13:58:00.000-07:00

Forced by the played hand to seek means from an unfamiliar and down right unloving source;

a cyclone of emotions sweep my faith in uncomfortable directions as I desperately strive to stay on my spiritual course.

Quietly fear preys on the vulnerability of my spirit...

it’s done in an almost silent whisper but if you listen closely you might be able to hear it...

Though mentally I can barely make out the message, my gut reveals much;

and it’s loudly telling me, “all that fear calls you to, you dare not touch...

I can’t let life’s temporary circumstances break my back;

each second is yet another opportunity to get on track;

to work on the things I want to posses, but know I lack;

so into my spiritual luggage only good deeds I pack...

My faith is my only sure bet;

no it’s not tangible, but it hasn’t failed me yet;

constant remembrance helps me not to forget,

even when with tears my face is soakin’ wet....

Far over the top is how some may see me;

but I’m certain there’s another warrior in humanity;

fighting the same battles praying for a victory;

and for us spiritual soldiers, "ALLAH is enough of an army!!!”

~a~ME~lah~

Grateful for Gratitude

2009-04-17T09:28:00.000-07:00

I am abundantly grateful for the miracles of gratitude;

the instant adjuster of my pessimistic and despairing attitude...

From my faith, family, friends, and foes,

to my eyes, ears, hands, legs, and toes...

On over to the sun, moon, wind, rain, and stars;

down to my struggles, achievements, healing, and scars...

I am tremendously grateful for the serenity and contentment gratitude brings,

as it comforts the heart and shines clarity on the most complexed of things...a-ME-lah

Shaken to the sole of my Soul

2009-04-10T14:10:00.000-07:00

The words shake me to the sole of my Soul;

as they entice my naffs to spiral out of control...

...and I only heard a snippet from a passing ride;

but it's one of the many anthems our youth sing with pride...

Spread disrespectfully from the windows to the walls;

young girls convinced sex will make them women remain open to constant mauls...

Being down on her knees should be reserved for prayer;

and Momma wasn't referring to her body when she told her, "it's always good to share!"

At least I don't think that's what she meant;

but, she too may be numb to the lyrics that accompany beats that sound heaven sent...

Lines that beckon the world's most prized possession to throw her worth away;

only to be defiled and demeaned by her caller in a game of horse play...

Please know, this is not an attack on us yall, it is a heartfelt cry;

to tell my women girl sisters, "We must honor our precious gifts 'til the day we die... "

Yet my loudest cry goes out to my men boy brothers who have been given the divine obligation to lead;

who have become intoxicated on the dysfunctional smoke screens that keep us enslaved even though we've been freed...

Diminishing our worth with each seed you unconsciously sow;

seeds that by nature take root, only to open the door for more dysfunction to grow...

On superficial stages you invite your queens to dance to the beat of "master's" drum;

and with your lyrics you whip her into believing her only purpose is to relieve you of cum!!!

Even the most conscious of you lend the tracks your ear;

and though you "Don't Approve" when she "Works It" you silently cheer...

The artistry of Hip-Hop has been pimped and overly played in the flow of mainstream;

distorted and off course from the expressive genius of the lyrical revolutionary dream...

Pacified with the insignificant gain of paper that carries almost no value when measured alongside gold;

soldiers have become "yes men" for an industry governed by "mini" men whose hearts are empty and stone cold...

I encourage you to press mute the next time the hottest video is played; after which dissect the imagery;

asking yourself "do these images honor or disgrace the foundation passed down through our ancestry???

Then, without the music, slowly read each and every word contained in the lyrics of the song;

are they morally uplifting, or do they call the listeners to participate in treating their own souls dead wrong???

You know, change has always come by way of the backs of a determined few;

who make the decision to no longer just stand by while their worse nightmares come true...

No, we cannot turn back the hand of time, or simply make the music stop;

but we can openly refuse to support the genocide being administered through mainstream hip-hop!!!

~a~ME~lah~

Infinitely "GOOD FRIDAY"

2009-04-10T09:53:00.000-07:00

a-ME-lah

Nine times Nine times Nine times Nine

2009-04-09T23:59:00.000-07:00

As it be April nine in two thousand nine;

I ponder on the heritage of my maternal bloodline..

The feet at which my paradise lies was birthed on March nine;

from this my analytical thought process franticly seeks to pinpoint a sign...

Six sisters, two brothers, plus me equals nine;

Coincidence? Not all, this undoubtedly was strictly by design...

Now as I ascend to the feet of my Grandmother, rest her soul, born June nine;

my mental excitement intensifies from this numerical history injection into my lifeline...

Nine times Nine times Nine times Nine is six thousand five hundred sixty one;

wait, seconds ago my thoughts lightened my load now suddenly they weigh a ton...

What difference does it make today that Granny departed this life on July nine;

is this just my continued attempt to locate my ancestral glow in a world that promises me no shine???

On the calendar March is three , June is six added together they make nine;

"in that there must be some significance?" I can hear my self worth whine.

Oh and what about me being born on the twenty-seventh day of January in nineteen sixty-nine?

In my reflection that fact brings into conception a history that I desperately grasp as mine!!!

Ultimately, GOD redeems whomever HE wills....says the Holy Qu'ran in verse twenty-seven of Chapter Nine;

which I admit into evidence as proof...this, descendent of a slave, girl's historical ties are being restored despite attempts to untwine...

nine times nine times nine times nine may hold no true ancestral significance at all;

but it is the equation that lends me footing in this life's game of identity crisis hardball...Amelah E.

Acceptance

Oh! Me not perfect???

Amelah E.

Break Time

2009-04-08T15:46:00.000-07:00

Two down, then two more plus one, equals five;

was it unconscious suicide, or did he honestly believe he could survive...

We can only wonder what the final thoughts are of one as desperate as he;

were they "LORD take me now", or "Yall got to be crazy if you think I'm just let you take me!"???

Did Oscar's senseless death haunt the corners of his brain, causing him to see nothing but blood red???

was this his way of dying on his feet, rather than on his knees with a bullet in his back, right below his head?

Certainly the angel of death was sent out to fulfill a mission;

and neither Oscar, Lovelle, nor those cops could have left this world without GOD's permission...

Surely, there is a sign in all things when pondered in reflection;

truth has a way of remaining true despite its constant rejection...

There's a war going on in the nation of the enslaved free;

there's a wall for the fallen soldiers on the streets of every city, not just in D.C.

The uniform of these soldiers are sagged jeans and white T's;

and they fight in a senseless war as do the many soldiers over seas...

Why do we only protest as we lay the countless bodies down to rest???

Does life become more valuable once it reaches its final death???

I almost hesitate to write these mangled thoughts at each and every line;

for fear that they will simply remain words in another poem "A Sista Like Me" delivered in a rhyme...

My prayer is that these words push me into action & inspire others to do the same;

my deepest fear is to continue with doing nothing, then having to stand before my LORD in shame...

Having a president of color has its place in history;

but its not the coming of the Messiah, and real change must come from you and me...

We must take to the streets more than once or twice a year;

Dedicated peace lovers to whom displeasing GOD is their only fear...

If each one teaches one imagine the difference it will make;

in changing the lives of the up and coming generations, cause this cycle we've just got to break...Amelah

March into April

2009-04-06T22:30:00.000-07:00

Forward march I move into April now;

inspired by my brotha' to lay some letters down...

From my screen, me be not so skill'd as he;

so I hesitate, but only for a second or three...

For me, being skill'd has never been my matter;

I merely write as an attempt to quiet the silent chatter...

As my fitra's cries, simultaneously I hear my naffs scream;

both wanting to be the navigator that will determine my final dream...

Or my final nightmare depending on which one wins;

I long for all my deeds to be pure, yet so many of them are sins...

So for me the most passionate kiss is my forehead to the floor;

as I intimately beg the Oft Forgiving to forgive me once more...

Ya Rabbi...forgive me, forgive she, forgive he, forgive we;

forgive the masses for the many things that have come to be...ameen...Amelah E.

April's 1st For Me...Let's Start with a Haiku

2009-04-04T22:08:00.000-07:00

I say, "Ya Rabbi!"
"Please remove all fear from me;"

Faith in the Faithful...

2009-03-04T13:15:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

May my face reflect my faith in the Faithful...

May my love for this ONE be seen as deserving, not boastful...

Truly on HIS truth I can always depend;

HE is my one and only, my truest friend...

The tears I shower HE pleasingly receives;

HE comforts my heart when at times it grieves...

May you too come to know and love the most Faithful one of all;

For HE is ALLAH the ALMIGHTY and for HIM alone into prostration I fall...Ya Rabbi...Amelah E.

Abandoned Post...

2009-03-01T08:41:00.000-08:00

Bismillah...

It may be naive for me to ask,

and I probably should focus on my immediate task,

but I must know, "Now that you are gone, who is going to man your post?"

Wasn't it your choice to come and lead,

as you portrayed yourself as one from that special breed,

but now that you've just up and walked away "who is going to man your post?"

Another child's heart left to bleed,

by a father searching to fulfill some dysfunctional need,

who never asked himself the question, "once I'm gone, who's going to man my post?"

By default I guess that's me,

and I will constantly pray to my LORD the Almighty;

to give me the strength, courage, and patience to wo-Man your post!!!
