silence, tranquility, the night-time,
the moon, the stars, the sea,
solitude, trust, security,
winds, unspoken words.
experience, wisdom, knowledge
love, care, and compassion,
happiness, hope, and calmness
smiles and soft cries*.
If you know that the Lord of the universes,
is protecting you, and providing for you,
and planning for you and forgiving you,
because He (سبحانه وتعالى) is the Best of Planners
and the most Subtle, and the Most Forgiving,
and the Wisest, and the Most Knowing.
He (سبحانه وتعالى) provides and nurtures all of His creations,
the plants, the animals, the butterflies, and us.
He (سبحانه وتعالى) is our Protector and Guardian,
and to Him, we will return.
If we live this life for His sake,
We are calm, peaceful, and happy**,
because we know and hope to meet our Creator,
in Jannah - In Sha Allah.
Author's Note:
*: "soft cries" - when we are alone in prayer in front of Allah (سبحانه وتعالى), pouring our heart out to Allah (سبحانه وتعالى), thanking Him (سبحانه وتعالى) for everything that's happening to us, seeking His forgiveness, and repenting sincerely, understanding the Quran when it is being recited, feeling that this moment was perfectly-timed — we cry. We cry tears of joy, tears of guilt, we cry silent cries so that no one but Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) hears us.
**: There are some Ayahs in Surat-ul-Fajr, Ayahs 27-30:
"(It will be said to the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism): 'O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction!'
'Come back to your Lord well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing (unto Him)!'
'Enter you then among My (honored) slaves,'
"And enter you My Paradise!'"
Nafs-ul-MuTma'innah - the one in complete rest and satisfaction, the one at peace. Subhan Allah! I ask Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) to make us of the inhabitants of Jannah - Ameen!
