The Epitome of Excellence [Poem]

Assalaamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu,

Sometimes I stop to reflect,
To reflect upon the persona of the greatest man that walked this Earth.
You may have heard many things about him,
Yet, how much of it is the truth?

Friend or Foe?

In today’s day and age we sometimes become confused concerning our “identity” as a Muslim/Muslimah living in the west. We are faced with social and peer pressure which makes us hide our real selves and who we really are — slaves of Allah. Most of the time it’s the influence of so called “celebrities”…

Meet the traveller! [An introduction]

Assalaam Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakauhu 

So, who exactly am I?


I am a deeply curious Muslimah and Islamic Psychology student, who was born and raised in the UK and currently still residing here. I am an avid writer, blogger and aspiring author who is the…

The Perpetual Giver

Not once has He not heard,
The call when I called.
Not once has He not seen,
The tears that dripped from my anxious eye.
Not once has He neglected,
The prayers of my silent heart,
Within the deepness of the night.
Not once did He not forgive,
My sin, when I wept out of regret!
Hoping for his…

The Stranger In The Corridor [A short story]

A short story with a meaningful lesson…

It was 5 minutes till the end of college. Marwa walked along the corridor feeling tired and flustered. It had been a long day and she needed to go home and rest for a while before her…

An Invite From My Lord

And so I stand.
In absolute awe of what I see,
My feet can carry me no longer,
My eyes can no longer contain the tears,
My heart becomes overwhelmed,
My lips uttering nothing but Praises of my Lord,
I gaze up at the House of Allah,
So beautiful, a mesmerising sight,
I am in utter…

An Inborn Call

“Colours upon this canvas”

I sat on the warm grass, 
relishing the beautiful sight. 
The Sun was at its setting,
And the sky was filled with illuminating colours, so right;
Of purples and pale greens,
Blurred in with a sensational red,
Glistening with a splash of orange…

Patience

Sabr.

You are not alone in your struggles,
Look to those around you -

That man has no feet, 
And you complain of no shoes? 
Thy girl sees but darkness,
Whilst Allah has given you two beautiful eyes?

Consider the one whose lost her young child;
In a violent shelling,
Her hands are soaked with its blood,
As…

Justice will come

This life is but a journey
Of many twists and turns
Where the darkness of oppression
Rules over the innocent souls
To be human is a novelty 
A honour, a uniqueness.

Injustice may be wide spread
Yet Allah is the Most Just of Judges
So let them increase in their rebellion
Their hatred towards us…

A Believer’s Garden

Winter.

The season which a believer welcomes, 
A welcome of warmth and splendour.

It’s a season so special,
Distinct from the rest,
In it lies hidden jewels,
So easy to extract.
The rewards are easily attained,
Fasting throughout the short days -
Praying and repenting deep in the night…
