Sometimes

Sometimes, 
ALLAH breaks our spirit to save our soul.. 

Sometimes, 
ALLAH breaks our heart to make us whole..

Sometimes, 
ALLAH sends us pain so we can be stronger..

Sometimes, 
ALLAH sends us failure so we can be humble.. 

Sometimes, 
ALLAH sends us illness so we can take better care of ourselves..

Sometimes, 
ALLAH takes 'something' 
Away from us so we can learn the value of 'everything' we have.. 

Trust ALLAH. 
Love ALLAH. 
Whatever He does, 
Is always the Best for us.. 
ALHAMDULILLAH

Betrayal

She told me she loved me, she told me 
she cared. 
She promised to help me, she said she’d always be around. 
I guess she’s a liar, she’s not here anymore. 
I hardly ever see her,she barely comes back. 
It used to hurt and it still does. 
But I’ve learned to ignore it, I shut that pain out. 
She cheated me a childhood, she stole from me my normal life. 
She told me a thousand lies, left me confused by hypocracy. 
I can never forgive her, my mother the traitor.

Muslim Women

I am a Muslim woman
Feel free to ask me why
When I walk
I walk with dignity
When I speak
I do not lie

I am a Muslim woman
Not all of me you’ll see
But what you should appreciate
Is that the choice I make is free

I’m not plagued with depression
I’m neither cheated nor abused
I don’t envy other women
And I’m certainly not confused

Note, I speak perfect English
I’m majoring in Linguistics
So you need not speak slowly

I run my own small business
Every cent I earn is mine
I drive my Chevy to school & work
And no, that’s not a crime!

You often stare as I walk by
You don’t understand my veil
But peace and power I have found
As I am equal to any male!

I am a Muslim woman
So please don’t pity me
For God has guided me to truth
And now I’m finally free!
