miraj- the spiritual spa treatment

Few can defy gravity
And make the time machine stop momentarily
Tired of grief from tormentors
Muhammad retreated into the Futures

From home all the way to Jerusalem
He was taken into Heaven
The gates opened until the Lote Tree
Until He was summoned by the Throne Owner Yaa Habeebe

He saw the sweetness of Heaven and met His comrades
He witnessed the cinders of Hell and realised his luckiness
Gifted with Salah and numerous gifts otherwise
Rasollulah brought His Followers forever a spiritual surprise

Upon His return, they dubbed his miracle a lie
How can you travel two months' distance in wink of an eye?
Abu Bakr believed, such is love not Hate!
The Believers always believe, isn't it, the logic of Faith?

So among the lessons of Miraj we learn
That God takes up the slave not the labels we earn
He uplifts you from your downtrodden state
If you can humble infront of Him and relate

That the lofty place of worship is the key
The masjid is mentioned and not his Meccan alley
To remind us that the haven of peace
Is the retreat of the broken hearted-on your knees

And its the care that counts when stressed-bent
That someone both hears and listens with all intent
So the All Hearing and All Seeing embraced His Beloved
Knowing the Year of Grief needed a break with beautiful memories lived!

Wows for vows!

Wow!
The day of vows
Finally here
Your journey amazing

Nadia
You know how much it took
Your determination
Your virtue

Your trust in your values
Brought you the gift
Sirus
You have made your mom proud

Your dad smiling
The sweetness of love
Is tasted in every item
The union of two hearts

Two families
And two cultures
The song of love
Sung by angels enjoyed by all

May your marriage be blessed
And children plentiful
May your respect be kind
And in your eyes

Find coolness all the time
