In moments like these,

In time and space,

Allah - I wish to know more,

to hold your grace.

Arabic, Quran, Hadiths and more,

How else can I rest,

Still —

Before your shores.

The words, the structure,

I know not yet.

And yes,

That rests heavy upon my chest.

Yet still you grace my heart with light,

You know I’m a soldier,

In your great fight.

So stumble, I will,

In prayer and life.

But towards you,

That’s the path,

I cherish,

And hold tight.

How grateful I am,

To walk this road,

To breathe love and honor

On this path you sowed.

Ali, as I read again and again, I feel as if truth cannot hide itself, it has to be revealed and reveal it does itself. Beautiful

Soothing, but in flow. Yes, the animate and inanimate all long to hear the words of Allah.
