What happened to those days when my faith was strong? When I wouldn't dare think of doing anything wrong when my yaqeen in Allah would lead me through the good and bad .. the old and new What happened to those days when my du'aa was sincere? when there was absolutely nothing on earth that I would fear when I was certain that Allah was really near and would run to Him and leave all that is dear. What happened to those days when I could read and recite well? when I bought al-janna and this dunya I would sell when my heart was pure and all full of light when my qiyam was my only source of strength and might. What's wrong my nafs .. why did you fall? Don't you know that Allah knows and hears your call? A little test like this one shouldn't beat you so It shouldn't pull you down to a level so low Don't you know that Allah chooses what is best and that this is all a previously planned test Don't you know that He hears your soul .. He hears your cry... He sees you fall .. He sees you sigh Allah is Great .. Allah is Al-Hakeem His ways are just no matter how dark it may seem Hold on my nafs to the fireball in your palm Hold on to it and when it burns act calm whenever it falls, bend down and restart let those tears fall and wipe that heart Remember my nafs the beauty of the promised firdaws You know it's your dream to build there a house Get back on your feet and go back to those days
