Word, like wind, cuts through you / Withers all but true you

Farewell Dear Ramadan

Khalid Mukhtar · May 15, 2021 ·

Sharing this moving verse by Umar Shakur. It really spoke to my heart.

Farewell dear Ramadan
The month of fasting and Qur’an
Hearts in hope of acceptance
Turning ever to Him in repentance

And though the world burns with ire
We seek relief in He Who does not tire
Noor is born of istiqama
Dispelling darkness of human drama

The month of fasting and Qur’an
A lifetime of worship in thirty days
This is the miracle of our Ramadan
Eid we celebrate, yet alas, our world ablaze

In a world lit with ire
We seek Prophetic courage
To stand firm in the heat of fire
Be unyielding to injustice, his message

He who follows with constancy
Will find light against any exigency

The guest has left, the void returns again
The fire of this longing burns again

Khalid Mukhtar · May 10, 2021 ·

My weak efforts to praise You are
Like pebbles in the sea
They hardly make a ripple where
They fall

To generate a tidal wave
Of generosity
My Lord when you’re responding to
My call

Khalid Mukhtar · May 9, 2021 ·

You are waiting to forgive
Ya Ghaffār

You are waiting to give
Ya Wahhāb

You are waiting
Ya Sabūr

You are
Ya Hayy

You
Ya Allah

Khalid Mukhtar · May 8, 2021 ·

Let my heart beat with tawhīd
Until my veins pulse with tawhīd
Make my soul by Your Word
The blazing fire repulse with tawhīd

Khalid Mukhtar · May 7, 2021 ·

Lord let me not fall into the abyss
Of self-aggrandizing ignorances

9-24-1442

Khalid Mukhtar · May 6, 2021 ·

My hands, they do my bidding
And my tongue says what I will
But the day will come
When my hands and tongue
Will have me standing still

Oh that shame of standing trial
Will it be too late to pray
Allah spare me please
Allah grant me ease
Let Your Rahmah save the day

9-23-1442

Khalid Mukhtar · May 5, 2021 ·

Your Habīb is my guide
Your Nūr lights his way
That I may abide

Nūr upon nūr

9-22-1442

Khalid Mukhtar · May 4, 2021 ·

Let me not win destruction
By straying from the path
Let me not dress my blessing wounds
With medicated wrath

9-21-1442

Khalid Mukhtar · May 3, 2021 ·

The spread of all the heavens or
The smallest leaf on earth
Are one in magnitude before
Your Might

So how can all the little things
I’ve done and soon forgotten
Escape the deep attention of
Your Sight

Remind me of them Ya Allah
That I may then repent
Or let Your Grace deliver me
This night
