LOST SOULS FREEDOM

They come , the lost ones In hope and love, to ask A small request after many years long waits They come in throngs to ask They come because of a certain light they come towards a new hope They feel a love from within They come only to ask Please allow me the gift of this love They ask with so much intense Unseen but heard, a request so pure Fills me with a guise They come only to ask for Alittle love to save their souls All lost, amidst darkness Then suddenly a light ... The light to show them direction to that place whence we should all go There is a special prayer to be said A loyal oath to take Thence, comes forth the door of Light To shed a way to freedom There are trees, they say There is water, I hear My tears flow freely I am blessed by a love so deep within From a source I cannot truly comprehend My angel praises God for this wonderful gi...

I am not a mind reader

I don't tell the future I don't read minds. I don't do bad magic. I don't do spells. I don't know how to tell If you will get your promotion or not Or win your cases Or what will he or she do next I don't know when the next time that thief will steal again Or when you will marry or die. What I can tell you is that you will one day die And so I can remind you of how to prepare for death By first killing self. In that I mean lose the ego and pride Which is as high as the sky And don't sit too high up that ladder, cos when it breaks And you fall, it's going to hurt! What I can say to you is remember Allah Ta'ala constantly Free your mind from worldly clutter And rearrange your life principles and beliefs To inculcate goodness, kindness and loving Trust, Friendship and Honesty What I can also tell you is that The angels are always at your side Be there when you need a hand or a friendly nudge, to pus...

Death Of self

There she lay All in white And turned on her side Her hair, black ,wavy, flowing In stillness and silence. Her presence in her stillness Emanated her glow. left behind, saddened. A death of self, a death of desires. There he lay beside her Clutching her body, lifeless he sensed her withdrawal from the world he held her to relieve her pain, it seems Although he was in pain. He clasped his arms around her lifeless body He kept his self close to her as if to merge.... a death of temptations A rise in faith. He was her rock and he was the faith , come to rescue. The death of nafs, of desires. Her freedom to exist. Above , with eyes aflame red and eerie, A vision of past desires. Defeated. There they waited and tasted Love and faith, winners of the struggle. Survivors of the war on self. Nur Shufiya

An ode to strong women

  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. 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 ...

The look of love

  Why am I amazed, or why am I distraught When I know that the face is not what the soul is That the form is not what the body is That the love unconditional Is radiated from a shapeless form A form of light A being with no looks No eyes, no ears, no hands , no feet Just shapes of humans in light Why am I offended that the human form is rejected When what I feel is the souls connected Why am I disappointed, when I know that radiated Is already stimulated The love based on the rays of light From the formless shape or the shapeless form Both the one and the same But not so the human form, Which when is still attached to the brain and body Is not the real dimension of love That exudes from the soul The soul that is a radiant being Of energy and unconditional love I miss that sleeping soul mate Entrapped in the doctrinated and prison Of a human life form The soul encased and been infected by human thoughts I miss that soul when the brain is not in charge...

JIKA

Image
  Jika hati ini bisa di sobek lagi , tentu saja kau yang menyobek Jika malam ini hatiku bisa bersamamu, tentu saja sudah kuketemui jiwaku Jika esoknya hati ini bisa mendiem dan menusuk, tentu saja apa yang diliat adalah wajahmu Jika hati ini sedang sedih dan menetes airmata, tentu lah itu akan mengalir kepadamu Jika saat ini hatimu telah pisah dari keinginanku, tentu hati ini tidak akan nyaman selamanya Jika pada akhirnya hati ini akan ditinggal, tentu saja akan ketemu hatimu di pintu syurgaku Jika hati ini akan meninggalkan dunia fana , tentu saja tidak membawa hatimu Jika sudah terhapus segala perasaan cinta untuk hati ini, tentu lah mati hatiku ini ~Lorraine Nur~ by Lorraine Branson on Wednesday, 15 June 2011 at 02:52

Woman

Image
In a patriarchal society, women have no place and say. I want it abolished. I would like to see men as protectors, friends, carers, lovers and mates to women. A social status determined by physical attributes a woman is softer, kinder, more emotional, more lovable and all aspects that make her a woman. A strong willed woman is an asset. An outspoken woman is credible. A woman of principles and integrity is a stable foundation. A strong attributed woman is more than a physical pleasure for men but also a comfort zone. A woman has many façades and dimensions in her being and can chameleon herself in all situations and stages. The panorama view is required when looking at a woman. She cannot be "prism-ed" into one specific location and told to be this, do that and say this or not. A woman must be appreciated for all her values, physical appearances, her knowledge, her sensuality, her sexuality and her abilities. In society, the women that made a difference in society, the ...

Silence

Image
Silence is golden. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. It's silence is deafening. It was so silent , I could hear myself think. Each day is filled with people around Movements and noise Chatter and depleting energy No where to go to recover In the days prior so much quiet time Now in these ages, we seem to desire a time of stillness and silence Activity that toils and leaves me weakened My brain fizzles to the humming of non stop words, sounds The moments alone, secluded and quiet, still ...just me Precious and rare. A beautiful gift nature renders to her weary friend. Rebirthing a new strength for the time ahead. Lorraine Nur

No time for waiting.

What am I doing? Why am I just sitting here doing nothing? Why am I just waiting? What am I waiting for? Why is it that I am positioned as a pleaser? Am I not more than a decoration? Don't you understand that my life, That my time, is essential? Don't you understand that my time is limited? Don't you understand that I have NO time to waste? I cannot sit here and WAIT to be of service. I cannot sit here and WAIT to be told. I cannot sit here and wait while OTHERS need me. What is expected of me Is NOT what I am meant to be. I am a woman of substance Not just a woman with substance. I am a carer Not just a server. I think , a re-think is sorely needed. Don't be condescending Don't be patriachal Don't pretend to know all Don't pretend that I am needed. Initial words have forged in my mind because it resounds and is equal to the actions NOW! Oh, how unfortunate.... Most unfortunate, to waste time and life on waiting ~Lorraine Nu...

Kaleidoscope

Can I have you and my life too? Can I have you integrated and synchronised That even when I don't see you, I see you Even when you go, you are near Can I have you and my life too? Never changing and always engaged Connecting on all levels. Never having to state , always forever knowing Can I have you and my life too? Never having to choose and Never having to feel, broken? Can I have you all prepared as the day I met you Wrapped in the aura of golden love light? Can I have you and life all one beautiful blend A kaleidoscope  of colorful rainbow images. Can I have you and my life as each new dawn Brings the freshness of the day ahead And the musk of night for love? Can I have you and my life as the whispers endears and beckons Gentle winds that waft through the leaves of a shady tree? For you and my life are as my sun and my moon The stars decorate our satin nights, The wonder of you and my life in love. Lorraine Nur

Evil snaps

Evil snaps and will always find a way. Beware the evil snaps! Beware when he rears his ugly head! He may seem benign, Though not far from the danger line Will evil show it's ugly face. Beware , when the evil snaps! It can happen at no known time It can happen at any time In a most inappropretae time Beware when evil starts it's gears! Beware when the evil snaps! It shudders every particle and atom Each molecule trembles, awful stench of it Wretched evil when it attacks Beware, and stay calm. The effect of evil is hot ears, Impacted heavy heart, Squashing the breath Penetrating from all sides In a proud and egoistical manner Manipulating the thoughts and interrupting energy. Making one tired and weak Beware! Then suddenly evil pounces on an unwary victim Victim loathes , cries and creates a fort A stance, a safe getaway Beware, evil will trail and follow Unrelenting, will mock, will command in tones of loud thunderous bellows. Evil may break the k...

This too shall pass

Driving through the streets of Jakarta during the Lebaran period, one can't help but ponder. Ponder at how much less traffic there is. Then of course , the ultimate question forms. Why can't it be like this always? Ultimately, my mind starts to reel... I am evaluating this transportation system, the traffic problems we face, the over populated city and extremities in social standards of living! Why can't it be Lebaran everyday? Very ignorant and simple minded, I don't think that moving the city of Indonesia is going to improve matters here. I don't think relocating the city to another less developed is going to resolve issues. Wouldn't it just complicate matters? Wouldn't the same mistakes be repeated again? In ignorance I ask. I came from a country where I did not see alot of poverty, neither did I have to deal with bad traffic, nor did I have beggars on each street, side road or traffic lights. Did not all the leaders of this seemingly  hopeless  n...

ANGELS in ISLAM

Image
ADIL ADIL ADIL FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE!!!!! In all truth and honesty. All knowledge/information about angels must never go against what Allah Ta’ala says . Angels would never tell anyone to go against the rules of the Book , Al Quran. Angels would not tell anyone anything new. Angel Jibril would never tell anyone to be different and say things to hurt them or deviate from the laws of Islam.  KOMUNITAS EDEN ( http://www.mahoni30.org/index.php?option=com_mjfrontpage&Itemid=32 ) This group tried to impact a change and the laws of the country stated that they are wrong! And so they are. That was a decree from the Islamic jurisdiction of Indonesia. I , who am a person who strives to love Allah Ta'ala and love Rasulallah (saw) am saying  as a warning : KOMUNITAS EDEN ( http://www.mahoni30.org/index.php?option=com_mjfrontpage&Itemid=32 )  that began in the late 90's is DEVIANT AND WRONG! Although there is a prison term served the teachings cannot b...

Releasing negativity

Intergrity,Humility , Rationality and Maturity. Characteristics that are valuable and favoured. Intentions that are great begin with simple thoughts of wanting to be better. When a spark of thought wisdom is ignited, hurry to fan the flames. A bonfire needs to be created for self improvement; personal development. It is in these gentle reminders that the angels give you, to be able to learn. Adversity creates an awareness. It is simple to take time to be quiet and think about a circumstance or situation. Learning to visualise the approach, will make it easy for you to make a decision. Not all things can be solved by a rational mind only. We need to blend the tools Allah Ta'ala has given us. In time, after receiving the wisdom or knowledge, and we keep our mind open, we shall certainly attain a new level of realisation. It is said , this is the age of re-awakening. It is the age of realisation. How can we not stop for a minute and take a break, to touch base? The fast paced lif...

CALLING ALL LIGHT WORKERS AROUND THE WORLD

Image
http://nurislam010.blogspot.com/ In the Name of Allah, Most Beneficent and Most Merciful. May Allah Ta'ala send peace and blessings to our holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) , his family and friends. Blog spots like the one above are all over the internet imploring mankind to pay attention to the plight of the suffering. In graphic photos do we see the hardships wars cause.  In this world, there should not be any extreme suffering. We are an educated  and advanced people, it is unimaginable. I have a belief that this man made suffering caused by wars , the repercussions and extremely intolerable and torturous suffering are INTENTIONAL . I beg all light workers to stand with me. Radiate beaming love white light and energy. We are in every land, we are endowed with the ability to fuse and in collaborating our energies we shall diffuse the negative forces that intend ruining this Earth and it's contents. Hypothetically creating a white band circulating the globe. A...

Gushes forth

All anyone can do is complain and criticize without knowing any full details of my life in the past, it’s details and the circumstances that drove me and motivated me in the decisions I made. In reality, they were very painful experiences which I faced , being criticized to any amount without solutions is a damned act. To make me feel like I made a huge mistake in my life is a momentous statement. I have five children who are the life source of my ill fated past. The future can be brighter as I must learn to accept the past mistakes and be better for it. I have loose ends which I must tidy up. I am not predisposed to the normal financial freedom I had before nor am I at liberty to create a stable environment for myself with my life apart from my children and being in a foreign country which sees me trying to fix up all that went wrong. At this point it is not the time to criticize me but offer support and assistance. I get very emotional and sad when I have to think about being ill t...
