Women of strength and might

Oh an ode to the women of this world

The struggles you put up with

Oh the women of this world

The strength you muster everyday

You educate your children and you mould the future

Oh the strong women of today.

Gather strength and knowledge

Of the brave ones now gone

And those whom are left.

Keep up the dignity of womankind

Don't allow bad situations to make you down

And always keep your pride as the ones who give life.

I never knew about the role until I had five more of me

My legacy to this world are them

A decree in it definitely.

For five more of me to continue

Inherently what must be

A better future which begins with me.

You are not stupid as some might say to

Make you feel little and discredit you,

For know that in those utters

Are a reflection of their own faults.

Say what you feel, intelligently

Say what you mean, articulately

Say how you want to say it

And be whatever you say.

Be responsible as a woman and then go ahead as a mother, a future builder

A positive society needs;

Be brave as Indira and Aung San

Be a leader like Benazir,

Be gentle as Mother Teresa,

And as prayerful as Mary.

Be beautiful and powerful as did Princess Grace

Be a legacy, do your little part.

Make a stand and statement with the kindness

That only a woman may have.

Undo the effects of a patriarchal society

A male dominated regime, is surely not permissible

As Allah Ta'ala created us all equal.

The only difference we have is only in brute strength

As all other faculties seem to meet equal at all ends.

Hence, my ode to strong and versatile women.

A pledge I believe in.

Ramadan 24, 1438H

Assalamualaikum warahmahtullahi wabarakatuh. Assalatu wasalam ala sayyidina Muhanmmad was ala alih.  Bulan Ramadhan yang sempurna sudah mau berakhir. Ummat menjemput kedatangan malam Laylatul Qadr: sebuah malam yang disebutkan yang lebih berkah dan punya pahala yang berlebih2an; pahala berganda ; malam dimana malaikat Jibril dan semua malaikat2 lain menurun ke Bumi untuk melihatkan manusia dan mendoakkan kita. Ini ialah kepercayaan ; iman dan deen seorang muslim / mukmin. Dengan kesadaran ini kita punya harapan. Dengan harapan kita inshaallah meningkatkan keimanan. Allah zal Jalalu tidak pernah mau melimpahkan kepada manusia sesuatu, selain rasa kasih cinta; sebab itu muslim2 seluruh dunia merasa ketenangan bulan mulia ini. Kalau memang ada di tempat2, yang dalam bulan Ramadhan yang tidak nyaman , masih berperang ; artinya mereka sendiri menjauhi diri mereka daripada kegembiraan yang Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala hendak memberikan.

Aims

Although I am afraid Although I may feel weak Although destiny has been written  Nothing prepares for it’s trials  Although I may have knowledge  Although I may be courageous  Although I have my principles  Nothing but faith can lift me Although  I dread what future holds  Although life’s path is blurred Although my aim is apparent  Nothing but my self can take this road  So,  when this path is trodden Slowly will I venture  The care and caution I will use  In time I will be beholden  To experience which age has brought That will guide me towards my haven  ~lorrainenur@2018 Seems inspirations are starting once more. How I have missed it’s presence. 🌹
