Ar-Rahman, the Merciful, loving and kind created us all
From Ar-Rahm, the womb into this world we fall
To act here with Rahmah, mercy, love and kindness above all
Until we answer Ar-Rahman’s call

Souls are like Souldiers
Mates stay and fight together
Match made in heaven
.

“Souls are like conscripted soldiers. Those whom they recognise, they get along with, and those who do not have similar characteristics will not like one another.”

Prophet Muhammad (saw.)

[Sahih Muslim]

A bedouin lost
Needs Guidance through the desert
That’s the saving Grace

Labayk Allahumma Labayk
Here I am O’ Lord for your sake
Facing you in solemn worship.
Your words flowing over my lip
It’s forgiveness I ask of you
Born once again good as new

Suddenly alone
Found myself six feet under
Returned to Sender

T’was an accident
I swore, when I gazed at her
Coming up for air
Forgot to breathe then and there
My heart went silent
I swear she just stole my heart,
She’s just way too smart
fed it to a butterfly,
watched it Fly and left me dry

In my research for the extended version I looked at the Fiqh of Love so to speak and found some interesting quotes.

“Verily, I was blessed with love for her.”

Prophet Muhammad (saw.)
.
“From the accidents of love is the violent anxiety and silencing intensity of feeling which overcome the lover when he sees the beloved avoiding him and eschewing him and the signs of that is sighing and lack of vivacity and sobbing and having deep sighs.”

Ibn Hazm (Rah.)

.

“If you haven’t loved passionately or known the meaning of desire then get up and eat hay for you are nothing but a donkey!”

 Ibn ul Qayyim (Rah.)
.
“O Ameer ul Mu’mineen, I’m in love with her!
Umar (ra.): “It’s not in your hands, what can I do for you?””

(related by Ibn Hazm)
.
“And from misery is that you love, and the one who you love, loves other than you, or that you want good for a person and s/he wants to hurt you”

 Imam Shafi’i (Rah.)
.
“Love is not limited with a clearer limitation than love itself. Love cannot be described with a better description than love…”

Ibn ul Qayyim (Rah.)

Bismillahi Ar-Rahmani Ar-Raheem
Al-Hamdu lillahi Rabbi Al-Alameen
In the name of Elohim
All Praise is due to Him

With this I begin
Far away from sin
With a clean slate
T’was truly fate

Almost drowned in mistakes
followed so many fakes
Soul sold in the pursuit
for a 7-2 offsuit

Then, I caught a break
realised there was more at stake
turned a new leaf
Cause he will arrive
like a thief in the night
God’s work is seen in the sights
In the mountains so firm and majestic
in the simplicity of a child so innocent and authentic
in the complexity of life.

Life’s a bundle of choices and voices
Choose your Adventures wisely.
Here’s to new Adventures!
