POEM: Sharing Niqab Experience

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Alhamdulillah first time wearing niqab went well,
It began as a dress code at a Saudi gov. school,
Only when going outside to wear the complete veil.
No problem with niqab back then save for some travels.

I used to think niqab should be worn just in Saudi,
My faith back then was not strong till Islam I studied.
Back then I was conscious of wearing niqab fully,
Was okay wearing it around many niqabis,

But after research and advice from my dear parents,
I’ve learned niqab is Wajib or at least encouraged.
To remove niqab as Hajj pilgrims is evidence
That niqab is Wajib, rewarding and important.

Niqab is useful in a sense it prevents wrong gaze,
It’s meant to promote modesty and strengthen one’s faith,
To join those who strive to obey God’s Laws night and day,
Distinguishing devout women from those led astray.

Alhamdulillah I’m now a full-time niqaabi,
Don’t mind if I’m the only one amongst hijabis.
Not a big deal too if onlookers would stare at me.
Another way of doing Da’wah indirectly.

Negative reactions with niqab? Yes, a few times.
‘Aswang!’ or ‘Monster!’ I’ve been called once by a scared child,
A few laughter here or there in public, day or night,
Curious stares from those who see niqab for the first time.

Even from some Muslim kids I’ve been asked ‘Why wear that?’
My response: ‘I’m Muslim, faith stronger with the niqab.’
I’ve been called ‘Ninja!’ by ignorant adults and brats,
Their lack of travel and world knowledge I understand.

Love niqab for Allah’s sake, dear niqabi sisters.
All your sins are taken by each one of your mockers.
Those who ridicule, think, they’ve never been travelers,
They’re insecure, so through you they try to find laughter.

Take pride in being of the ‘ghurabaa’ / strangers few,
Humble to God, nice with likes, watchful of what you do,
Adorned with manners and inner beauty that shines through,
Praying you enter Jannah and Allah welcomes you.

Wasalaam~

Mariam

POEM: On The Muslim Ummah's State

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Say “HasbunAllah wa Ni’m Al-Wakeel”, Allah knows
All events that take place and mishaps caused by His foes.
Allah saw what happened in Syria and Palestine,
Rohingya, Burma, Iraq – to all innocent lives.

Negative news of Muslims may be a wake-up call,
For all Muslims to unite as oppression befalls,
A search for peaceful warriors who’ll stand by the oppressed,
Through charity and speaking out against injustice.

To criminals: “What goes around comes around” please note,
If justice is not served on earth then in the next world.
Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done to you.
Peace can be achieved though we vary in what we do.

To oppressors: Don’t let your pride get the best of you.
Evil has its consequences. God’s Justice is True.
It’s possible to attain peace without greed and wars,
If you listen to all sides, support truth, not liars.

To Muslims: Forgive each other, show Islam is peace,
Practice what you preach, share your knowledge out of mercy.
Through certain trials Allah takes martyrs, sins fall off,
Islam promoted, Muslims tested on faith and love.

To non-Muslims: Please study Islam. Don’t just assume.
As Muslims, we’re discouraged from violence and feuds.
We’re taught to teach Islam kindly, not spread it by force,
To make things easy through good manners, not make things worse.

May Allah accept our faith that God is Only One,
Who witnessed all that took place, what has been said and done,
May Allah welcome us in Jannah for our good deeds,
And may Allah prove all that Islam is Peace. Ameen.

Wasalaam~

Mariam

POEM: These Tears That Fall May They Intercede

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

‘Allahu Akbar’ state these tears that fall,
These tears that drizzle when to God I call,
Talk to Allah with various emotions,
Du’as depend on each situation.
~.~
Tears that fall as I miss my dear parents,
When I miss my husband, loved ones and friends,
Remorseful of good deeds I neglected,
By the Ummah’s current state dejected,
~.~
I cry when I long to help but just can’t,
When to Allah I return and repent,
Seeking Allah’s Guidance, Love and Mercy,
Mentioning Muslims in prayers daily.
~.~
These tears fall too when sinners I pity,
How they can afford to steal or mistreat,
When Allah Almighty knows what they do,
Knowing Allah’s Justice is swift and true.
~.~
May Allah Most High forgive us always,
Accept all our good deeds done for His sake,
Make our tears among those that intercede
To let us meet God in Jannah. Ameen.

~.~

Wasalaam~

Mariam

SONNET: Allah Sees What Tyrants Do

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Allahu Akbar. Allah knows all things.
Allah sees each one and knows how each thinks.
Don’t fret over why evildoers sin,
To Hell those vile folks may have been destined.
~.~
Allah knows liars when they trick and lie,
How snakes try to separate man and wife,
Why hypocrites pretend, whom fakes misguide,
And where the ungrateful will soon abide.
~.~
Allah sees all tyrants, those who deceive,
Those who break promises, steal and mistreat,
Who try to take people’s lands unjustly,
Who from them may change ways eventually.
~.~
Recall Fir’awn and what happened to him.
Shaytan vowed his followers should not win.

All will Inn-sha-Allah receive their rewards justly if not in this world then on Judgment Day~

Wasalaam~

Mariam

POEM: One Good Reason Why I Still Love Him

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Dear husband whom God sent as my other half,
My muse, my motivation and first true love -
A poem yet again though it’s not enough
To let all know why on you I gave up not.

Though there may be myriad reasons to dislike
You and how you may not fulfill all my rights,
There’s one good reason I’m still here day and night:
I love God more than myself and my desires.

I love you, husband, for Allah’s sake – it’s true.
Grateful for all the good deeds you used to do,
Not forgetful I’m a gift from God to you,
Your subtle love for me you don’t need to prove.

One good reason why I still love is patience,
Knowing your wrongs are due to interference,
Nosy involvement from those with aversion –
Won’t please my foes by choosing separation.

No worries, if God Wills, in Jannah we’ll meet.
Jannah Paradise is where bliss is really,
Eternal perfection without fakery,
Real home of the righteous, steadfast and sincere.

One reason I share my story is to teach
And motivate all to embrace loyalty,
Which lets you see when neglect is forced or real,
And keeps you vigilant of spies who envy.

May Allah the Almighty and Most Loving
Accept our good deeds and forgive all our sins.
Ameen. May Allah make us of those destined
To meet Him in Jannah smilingly. Ameen.

True love for Allah's sake does not give up easily~

Wasalaam~

Mariam
