Poetry
Islamic Poetry. This poem is based on reflections I made from first portion Surah Baqara - the 2nd chapter of the Quran. In the verses 1-5 Allah talks about the believes who will be successful in the hereafter, He says that they believe in the unseen, establish prayer,spend out from their provision, believe in the Quran and the previous scriptures and that they have certainty in the hereafter. Then Allah goes on to talk about the disbelievers in verses 6-7. However , this poem in based from reflections made from verses 8-16 where Allah talks about the hypocrites. In these verses He exposes the dual nature of the hypocrites. As for the hypocrite , he will have to face a very painful punishment as his heart and actions did not sync, i.e. he only pretended to be a believer in order to gain benefits and was in fact disbelieving in his heart. They were opportunists who thought they had correct knowledge while they didn't. They caused corruption on land and considered those who believe as fools. This is because their minds were Dunya oriented, and considered the sacrifices made by the believers as a foolish decision. But why did they not believe in Allah? This is because they failed to recognize Him due to their choice of darkness over light. Let us take a moment and analyze ourselves, ask yourself the question, "Does my action reflect my belief?"

[BLURB] "Well, now I'm back and I'm gonna drag you to court, you piece of shite," she said before passing a humorless chortle. "Do that and you're doomed." He sniggered, his manevolent gaze hurling obscenities towards her. "Oh yeah? How?" She rose a perfect eyebrow, animosity etched on each lineament. "Let's just say, I have something of yours that'll destroy you." The telltale monstrosity perceptible in his evil kingdom of eyes set a havoc inside her adrenaline rushing body but she held her grounds strong. "And what's that?" And there he showed her something that choked the life out of her frail body as she lost her balance in dizziness. ****** Love is elusive but sometimes it knocks right at your door but you're too arrogant to pay it any heed or maybe too scared to acknowledge it. Either way, destiny always knows how to play its part well. You can ignore it but can never run away from it. It never lets you evade itself and follows you everywhere, like a shadow. Crooning and spreading its arms right open at you, enveloping you from every nook, cajoling you, brandishing your tattered soul, and enticing you to the point where you have to surrender and accept it. Where you have to hold on to it and let everything else go. Because sometimes all a ragged soul and a chasm heart need is a pint of love. The tale of two youngsters who kept finding their way towards each other no matter how hard they tried to ignore it. Life would always collide their paths. Always making up their minds to never see each other again to always bumping on each other, destiny already had something else in store for them. So what was it? A journey of loathing to love. A journey of holding on and letting go.
