Let days go forth and do as they please And remain firm when settled is the Decree Don’t be afraid of what happens by night For the affairs of this world are not to last And be a man, strong in the face of calamities And let your nature be that of kindness and honesty If your faults become too much in front of the people And you wish that they were to be concealed, Then know that kindness covers all faults And how many faults are kept hidden by kindness! No sadness lasts forever, … [Read more...]

I Often Think When I Might Sin (poem)
October 13, 2008 By MyUmmah Editor
I Often Think When I Might Sin I often think when I might sin, What if the Angel would come to me then? Would I want to be risen doing that sin? I often think quietly to myself, Where will I go, oh, where will I go, When the Angel comes to me? What if the Angel comes at night, With a command from Allah to take my soul?

Where will I hide, oh where will I hide? … [Read more...]
