Stars Can't Shine without Darkness



Drowned in the world

Holding the thoughts as they swirled


Finding the reason for existence

Mind and soul were at a distance


The bright light was blinding the eyes

Struggling to discover where the truth lies


Then the life turned

Leaving the soul stunned


It was the time, when the night came out

Perplexed, asking “why the light faded out?”


Unaware of the reality behind

Walking in the darkness undesigned


It was when the inner self was discovered

It was when the true purpose of life was uncovered


The question of who I am was answered

The question of why I am was answered


Turning to God with a heart full of gratefulness

Because now I know, stars can’t shine without darkness

Pondering

Look! look up in the sky Have you found any crack? Don't stop! look up again Your eyes will come down again, failed to find any fault in its track Look! look up at a bird flying Spreading its wings and folding them back Who's holding it in the sky? Who's the One keeping it intact? Look! look into your eyes Wonder! wonder about your hearing Feel your heart Who has provided this? The One who is caring He is Al-Khaliq, who creates He is Al-Baari, who originates He is Ar-Rehman He is Ar-Raheem Maria_thelightseeker (INSPIRED by SURAH MULK)

Staring up on the sky Observing the morning bells As the light spreads gradually Difficult times fade away naturally But the light? It struck me! Light is the Quran Morning is the Furqan Maria_thelightseeker (Inspired by Surah Takweer)

Friends

Friends Food : Some friends work like food. They give you energy. Encourage you to do good. Motive you to move ahead.  Medicine : Some are like medicine. They console you during your difficult times. Help you out. Stand by you. You remember them at the time of hardship.  Disease : Some are disease. Filled with negative energy. Always backbite about other people. Talk negative. Do negative. Compel you to do negative. This is how Allah depicted the consequences of having a diseased friend in Qur'an: وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى ٱتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًۭا And beware of the Day the wrongdoer will bite his nails in regret and say, “Oh! I wish I had followed the Way along with the Messenger! يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِى لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًۭا  Woe to me! I wish I had never taken so-and-so as a close friend. (Surah Furqan: 27-28) That was the friend who strayed him from the right path.  Check your friends!  Analyse...
