There is no God but ALLAH SWT…

Oh Our Lord! you are the light of the heavens and the earth

And whatsoever is in between,

For you is all praise…

You are the originator of the heavens and the earth

And that which is in it

And for you is all praise….

Indeed My Lord is the all hearer of Supplications!

SubhanAllah, Allhumdulillah, AllahuAkbar

SUBHANALLAH!

Faith in God is an opening up, letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love- but sometimes it was hard to love. Sometimes my heart was sinking so fast with anger, desolation and weariness, I was afraid it would sink to the very bottom of the pacific and I would not be able to lift it up

At such moments I tried to elevate myself. I would touch the turban and would say out loud, “THIS IS GOD’S HAT!”

I would pat my pants and say aloud “THIS IS GOD’S ATTIRE!”

I would point to Richard Parker and say aloud, “THIS IS GOD’S CAT!”

I would point to the lifeboat and say aloud, “THESE ARE GOD’S ARK!”

I would spread my hands wide and say aloud, ” THESE ARE GOD’S WIDE ACRES!”

I would point at the sky and say aloud, “THIS IS GOD’S EAR”

And in this way I would remind myself of creation and my place in it.

But God’s hat was always unraveling  God’s pants were falling apart. God’s cat was a constant danger. God’s ark was a jail. God’s wide acres were slowly killing me. God’s ear didn’t seem to be listening.

Despair was a heavy blackness that let no light in or out. It was a hell beyond expression. I thank God it always passed. A school of fish appeared around the net or a knot cried out to be re-knotted  Or I thought of my family, of how they were spared this terrible agony. The blackness would stir and eventually go away,

and God would remain, a shining point of light in my heart. I would go on loving

My faith is greater than my fears

Beloved, you are infinite …

[Allahu-Akbar (Allah is the Most Great)].”

With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful.

“When We bestow Our favours upon man, he avoids (to recognize it) and keeps himself far aside (from obedience), and when some evil touches him, he is in total despair.” Surah Bani Israel 17:83

It didn’t just rain today, IT POURED!

So Blessed! Allhumdulillah

al[Mulk 67:29] Proclaim, “He only is the Most Gracious – we have accepted faith in Him and have relied only upon Him….

Qul huwa alrrahmanu amanna bihi waAAalayhi tawakkalna

Beloved,

Part of the radiance
Emitted from your name
Can be seen contained
Within the stars,
The meteor, the comets
That streak across 
The seven skies
Piling the entire universe
With tints and shades
Of beautifully colored lights…

Subhannallah, Alhamdulillah & Allahuakbar.

my random recent Interior sketch studies

Beloved,

I had been wondering

Who to turn to

When I felt flickers of you

In the rays of the sun,

That touched my skin.

Heedless had I been.

Lord, your warmth, your love

Poured on me 

Across the from the heavens

And skies filled with stars

My lord, you healed you healed

My cold wounded heart.

Beloved,

There is no power

as mighty as yours

There is no refuge

as safe as yours

my head, my heart, my soul

have no other resting place

no other resting place

Awake my Soul, Awake my Soul

For you were made to meet your maker!

Oh Son of Adam! remember you are nothing but a number of days, when ever each day passes, a part of you is gone.
