The Oppressed

In the name of Allah The Most-Merciful The Most Gracious..

"Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Why Allah Why,

Have you put such a test on this Ummah?

The tormentors have increased their torture beyond the sky

They have made it their mission for the faultless to die

Washing the innocent minds with blood and war

Greed and revenge making them bitter and sour

There is no one to put an end to their oppression

The nations are a witness to their suppression

Except for You Oh Allah!

You are the Al-Qawiyy, The Possessor of All Strength.

So, Have mercy on the people My Lord!

We all know the prayers of the oppressed can never be ignored.

Hearts cry for the ones loved and lost

The limits to their anguish have been crossed.

The mother grieves over her lifeless infant

Who was gone from her arms in an instant

Fathers cry out to the one who was once his princess

Tightly holding her in his arms with tears and distress

They had almost lost their will to live

Everything they had cherished was gone; they had nothing to give

Gently consoling their hearts for their loss

Withstanding any more difficulty they come across

I thank to you Allah, You are Al-Mu'min and Al-Muhaymin

The Inspirer of Faith and the Giver of Protection

And because of You...

They have now got another chance at life

A will to start anew even if they have to strive

Walking from place to place in search of hope and joy

Leaving behind their houses, their clothes and their favorite toy

Struggling, fighting and drowning on their way

They will fight to live by another day

Have patience My Ummah

Your prayers will surely be answered!

Your Lord is not displeased nor has He forsaken you

He will ease your hardship; His promise is true

And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before (Ad-Dhuha - 93:4)

In the end, you will be asking for Allah to grant you more

So much joy, happiness and peace In sha Allah

Only by the will and love of Allah

Assalamualikum everyone.

This is my attempt to write to a poem on the struggles faced by our Ummah in Syria and Palestine. This doesn't even scratch the surface on describing the pain and suffering they are going through. It puts tears to my eyes knowing that they are being faced by so much and we cannot do anything for them but pray to Allah. 

So pray to Allah my friends that this war soon comes to an end and peace is restored. Pray for Palestine and Syria. 

Contribute to organisations helping the Syrian refugees and the orphans so that there is some way we can help our people. 

With lots of love.

Zeba:)
