My Soul, My Life

Who am I, is not important What I say is in justification Who I become is the ultimate destination To His presence is my motivation If all I say makes you think And what I say may just sink The brain that is disturbed The heart that is perturbed The anger that has devoured This Shufiya has alerted And sincerely reminded For everything I have said Is not fragmented Nor is it contaminated It is with love and compassion My prayers and devotion I signal the reminders Hope that your thoughts ponders The quality from our faith Pure and chaste Is the only solution That we shall beget reformulation Perhaps, you shall gain Through all your pain The promised wisdom And the promised calm ~LorraineNur

Dear Angel Hearer How much we are being tested This is a huge obstacle to leap over I guess we better slowly come over it I am sure that your prayers are being heard And I have faith in mine Six days seems like six hundred years Phones cut off No way to get through Our hearts still in touch I trust you and know what you feel I asked your whereabouts She did not reply Till it may have dawned A manic craziness And finally I was told Of your sickness and without consciousness Admitted in a hospital, with restrictions against me No notifications All vile vindications To cause an upheaval and disturbance How can anyone have the nerve to lie About such a terrible thing? How does anybody feel rested? I am unimpressed by cruel tactics and lies These shall be held into account Noted as sin, one lie One intention To hurt on purpose Shameful act with no iman Shame on you for lying Is this how our dear Prophet taught us to behave? Is this how our blessed Fati...

Soul separation from it's mass; annihilating to survive, the parting which hurts like a stabbing that penetrates so deep, the Universe cries. Soul breaks free from the form Travels to the safety of The light to encompass healing Soul roams alone, waiting For that moment to reunite with form To greet the form That soul misses That soul craves That soul has left behind Soul cleanses her wounds and despair In silence With jovial candor All see her But her facade is an imposter Soul maintains grace, decorum For the world But the Universe hears soul’s cries Hears soul’s voice in her silken repose Dwelling within, there is no one Nothing but the surroundings of creation As days pass, time elapses Seems like a lifetime of emptiness A life time of waiting And still alone, left to wander Soul has known pain Soul has known sadness Soul has known despair Soul yearns for the wings that took her Soul yearns for her mates’ breath and scent In his form , that h...

I know that you miss My hand over  your sleep Your life raises my love And you know I exist because of it Love has overpowered us Even before we mentioned a word My soul and yours are as one wing And our love bonds Completing our wings Leaving our fragile bodies You believe Love has brought you your love Your sadness and strength Makes love believe you And chose you as the princess In my hand forever kept Your heartbeat as you sleep Strengthens me To carve our names On every object Even in my insane brain Appreciate my irrationality Which takes you every where I go To save my life Before this body decays Swallowed deep into the earth And when you meet me With my life and love Without my full senses You leaning in your chair Observing and concerned Why do your eyes tear? And your body tremble? ~AB Smith for Nur Shufiya 12012012 Translated by: Lorraine Nur

What would you do if one day You were told that you would Have to die soon? What would you do if you Were given a limited time? What would you do if you Were told when and how You would be taken? What would you do if You knew? What would you do if you Had to live your life the best you can, But with so many troubles ahead? What would you do if you had But one chance, to prove your life? Would you continue on your path of Darkness and denial? Would you take your second chance? What would you do When in your life everyone is against you When you believe in upholding what He wants What would you do in your predicament When you discover, you would be taken, just once? He says he will be there waiting at the House of Allah He says a handsome man will come and say “It’s time.” There will be so many angels waiting, he says He says I just need to shut my eyes And I shall return , body gone and soul He says it will be easy like before But then , you had to come ba...

Spirituality & Life: The Truth

“YA ALLAH, YA RABB, Please give me the strength, permission and energy To do what I need for my dunya and akhirat For without You, I am nothing.”~NurShufiya Zikir in my heart, Allah Hu Allah Permeates my entire being Protection, strength and energy Focusing my spiritual centers With zat Ilahi From whence I came A promise I made That I should never forget That I wholly exist From one world to the next Allah Allah Allah A repetition of faith In The One and Only Illahi anta maksudi, wa ridhoka aatinii Mahabbattaka wa Ma’rifataka Fill my heart, my soul, my senses My Akhfa, my Kahfi, my life Cleanse my ruuh, my sirr , my qalb As the rains fill the empty craters of the Earth As the sun shines on each part of land and sea The void between ocean and surface The darkness, fill with nuur The Light of Muhammad becomes Synchronized with zikir ALLAH HU ALLAH Zikir ALLAH HU ALLAH Is the life force of all creation Zikir ALLAH HU ALLAH Makes a hard heart soft Zik...

“Dispute with Satan through the manifest strength of Allah, the Great and Almighty.” Angel Hearer, listen Listen to the words that Your Lord commands For Satan has no hold over His slave As the Holy Qur’an has allowed A union between two souls That none has the right or power To demand the dissolve Let them try to resolve amongst themselves Their bad habits or worries But it should be known That what Heaven has ordained Beware who tries to dispute The words that we have accepted As a promise to each other That no one and nothing Should ever come between us This decree and promise Which we uphold That has been sincerely witnessed And that angels and all the hosts Of gentle beings departed Make solemn prayers for us That we are under constant attack And verbal abuse they know That by the Name of Him Who holds my soul That they will be asked about what they do And on that day dear zaujah, Will be the day When all will understand About why this union...

Friday, 15 July 2011 at 01:50 Tonight, the moon visited us As we sat and spoke My children and I Not unlike a moment in the past, when technology was not as it is We turned off all the artificial sounds We listened to each other's voices I dwelt on nature topics I dwelt on philosophy of life Little hearts and ears picked up the vibrations We felt a union of thoughts Embracing us was love Attention spent to hear And to digest Knowledge and wisdom Lest time, slips pass And the voice of the elder is gone Then suddenly, as if knowing The moon, full and shiny Gazed down on us, through the window The beautiful glow against the dark, night sky Reminded us, as we turned off the lights That we we being graced by her presence That God was showing us His blessings For as our lights we turned off The lunar glow did not dim nor did a cloud Cover her As if the beam from her aura, poured through towards us Just for that moment in time.

The fear of loss The fear of pain The fear of hurt The fear of anguish The fear of suffering The fear of abandonment The fears gathers It knows no age Once we thought we were strong We allayed all doubt about facing fears We throttled the idea that fears would conquer We thought we were brave and victorious Then, we faced ultimate love with sacrifices We faced separation and incredible desires We felt again alive and  triumphant That such a love existed and exultant We relished each drop and surrendered To the love without fear But fear created itself a wedge By extinguishing the unconditional elements of love We felt elated then we felt deflated The love swooning us from one polar to another The cold surfaced as a protection Allowing the mind to take control Limiting all self desires I claimed, not withstanding Anything or anyone to forsake this gift Cruel as it may seem, the cold shift made possibilities real Improbabilities minimal Cold talk neces...

For all that is best As always only for the best reasons I shall always want what is the best for everyone For with all the accusations that we face For all the hearsay uncovered With all the follies of humans And for all the disturbances we perceived Be it from ourselves or others To make the best of everything will always be the end desire The best for all May also be what we may not Want to occur Being the best means showing How to be better Our paths meet and suddenly All disconnects from reality Whilst we still have a chance to accept changes With an open mind We can endure to become the best For to close the mind is to fornicate with negativity The worst of scenarios It clamps us into nutshells Keeping out light and love Eager for air to breathe and the need to spread wings To soar as eagles and swim as dolphins No cocoons for lovers with best intentions To grow and nurture I serve the best from the platter of love Given unconditionally To receive...

Pure love , where have you disappeared to? True love, when did you grow old As if dried and shriveled in the dessert If truly a love makes a heart swell Purity of love may not Take in contamination True love, sticks Outlaws from the dunes Crept and spread A vile attack Diminishing the light As the dust they disturbed Raised and clouded everything in sight One by one, they dismantled Bit by bit, they penetrated Their attacks constant Their aim to assault and break Poor love, never rested No peace prevailed The moment apparent when a hand likened to a dead fish Given in reluctance Love, soiled Scared and pitiful Hid in the depths Go far now, recluse Rebuild what is left of the ruins Perhaps, there may be a sign , A flicker of what was ~Lorraine Nur 5 Jan 2012
