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?"

"And We have made some of you a trial for others. Will you ˹not then˺ be patient?" The first time I read this ayah in Surah Furqaan, I had no idea it defined my future so clearly. ********** Hafiz Hakimi;- A 26-year-old Nigerian-American who grew up believing those who worshipped something they couldn't see were crazy motherfuckers. But it wasn't like he would go out of his way to tell them his opinion. His life was perfect, a routine of work, party, fuck, sleep, and repeat. His only source of annoyance was the woman whose vagina he popped out of, but even she was very far away from him. Life was good, everything was great. Until one fateful trip to Nigeria, his home country, set off a tornado that wrecked his mundane to pieces. Aliya Suleiman;- A 22-year-old hafiza whose only goal was to finish studying medicine, the devil's course. She only planned to get married after making her first million dollars, a feat her best friend Jasra said was impossible. She wasn't offended of course, because she never planned to get married. And if she did, it would be to someone more pious than her, mature and respectful; indulging. But then the one person she couldn't say no to begged her with tears in her eyes to marry her son. She was the woman who raised her and provided for her mother and her. There was no way she could refuse. It was the worst thing to have ever happened to both of them. A sudden downpour on an otherwise clear sunny day. He wasn't anywhere near the kind of man she imagined herself with. She was the woman raised by the person he hated the most. It was basically a recipe for disaster. She saw him as a way to repay a favour. He wanted to use her to get revenge. And as such, the stage was set and the curtains lifted. ___ ⚠️⚠️⚠️: UPDATES ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS ___ 🚨 This is entirely a work of fiction.
