LEAVING….
…from the place of the last breath…
….to the place of the first breath…
….of he, SallAllahu alaihi wasallam who breathed his every breath for his Ummah…
"Exalted be Allah. All praise is due to Allah. Allah is the Most Great. There is no strength or might other than what is given by Allah": May this declaration match the number of what Allah has created and the number of what Allah creates; the weight of what Allah has created and the weight of what Allah creates; the fullness of what Allah created and the fullness of what Allah creates; the fullness of His heavens and the fullness of His earth; the totality of all the afore-said and the multiples thereof; the number of His creatures, the weight if His Throne, the infinite limits of His Mercy and the ink of His words. May this declaration be such as to befit the extent of Allah’s pleasure, and may it continue to be echoed until Allah is pleased; and may it be such as to befit the continuity of Allah’s pleasure and match the number of instances in which Allah’s creatures have remembered Him throughout the entire times past ,and the number of instances in which His creatures shall remember Him throughout the entire times coming; year after year, month after month, week after week, day after day, hour after hour, breath after breath; from time immemorial to the infinite end of time; from the beginning of the world to the unending limits of the Hereafter; from the Beginning that has no beginning to the End that has no end.
Insha’Allah may we be try to be ever watchful with each and every breath.
Insha’Allah keep this needy speck in your Du’a as I do you and yours at the House of Allah.
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
Asalamu’alaikum dear al-Miskeenah,
Thank you for this succinct reminder of departure and for sharing a profound prayer.
The breaths we breathe
Are for our existence, a lease
The souls we bequeath
Are for our spirits, a release
Our bodies are nothing but mortal
Our spirits will pass through the portal
All are for the sake of the Beloved
In the City of Noor, our only cure
As the Heart of the City, enduring simplicity
Beneath the Dome of Felicity, through antiquity
At the Abode of Peace, God’s healing breeze
~SalAllahu Alaihi Wasallam~
For you and I, were his anguish and tears
For whom he prayed through all the years
To him send all Blessings and Praise
As one Ummah we sail through this maze
Many have come yet more have gone
How can we separate what was always but one?
Is it not enough that we will depart alone?
To become silent statues of stone
