Rainbow

Assalamu Aleykum to all,

Alhamdulilah the first 10 days of this beloved month is already gone... (alhamdulilah both in a bad and good way)

today in particular wasnt the brightest of days (althou it was sunny, of course, with some clouds and rain...) i was having a gloomy day and tried all my best to do some Zikir....

as i was leaving work waiting for a bus ride home, i saw this brilliant double ring rainbow and that made the rest of the evening for me. i wish i had a camera with me to capture its brilliance and beauty.... just gorgeous!! and in the middle of my amazement the rain started to fall... all sorts of rain but i had to be strong and withhold the rain from within from falling. anyway i walked in the rain... it was brief thou. then the sun shone again... the rainbow grew even brighter... i was smiling and perhaps some people thought i was going nuts... but who cares what they thought, i was happy -

(big sigh) Al Hamdu Lilah is all i can think of at the moment. so many thoughts in my mind... but i got to be strong, got to have faith.

"Rabi Ishrah Li Sadri, Wa Yasir Li Amri"
Amen

"Beyond Words"

AlHamdulillah,

In this blessed month, there is so much to be greatful for...

beyond what i can fathom
and beyond what words can describe
beyond the east and the west-
beyond the horizon that looms;

above the vast sky-
the heavens and the earth
above all greatness
is your Glory & Majesty
that is held in my heart.

(Allahuma Innaka Afun Tuhibun Afwa, Fa Afu Anna Ya Rahman!)

(you would be thinking destyn's child, hah, i ain't singin that tho)

today made ME think, that our mind is soo vast (like the sky), so unattainable even to ourselves. the five senses feed us with info from our surrounding, but do they do the exact opposite??

only words, spoken words, parts of speech, and yet there remains the unfinished- that which remains in the mind, that which was never told, that which words can never describe, that which only belongs to me and I choose to share it with my Lord, for He surely knows whats in my heart.

"when you feel all alone in this world,
and there's nobody to count your tears,
just remember no matter where you are,
Allah know, Allah knows...
You see, we all have a path to choose,
through the valleys and hills we go,
with the ups and the downs,
never fret, never frown
Allah knows, Allah knows..." (ZAIN & DAVID)

Amazing how things happen so fast, all we end up comprehending is the last bit... forgetting all that which matters... ( this world is even less than a mosquito wing) says my best friend... and i couldn't agree more. All that matters is whom I choose to be, to be grateful for the bounties upon me, and to be and always choose to be 'Hikmet', the descendent of Prophet Adam and child of Hawa (may God bless both of them).
I would want to be just me, the me that is lost in a quest to quench the thirst of 'awareness' and 'life'. That me, that has lost the say of who and what 'Hikmet' is... But Alhamdulilah i have Ramadan upon me, I shall rise and shine, rise and shine to the fullest!

AlHamdulilahi Rabeel Alemin,
