A Common Problem I Notice Alot Lately.....

[umm Zachariah]

Assalamu aleikum,


Found this beautiful poem about prayer written by a sister. And want to share it with you all since the last posts has been about praying.


My Favorite Place



My favorite lil spot is the little area on my prayer rug where i place my face and hands before Allah and i can say anything i want to Him


I can ask Him for anything


And even if it's just a whisper He can hear the screams inside


And even if it's just one tear He know there's an ocean deep inside


It is my time with Allah when no one can interfere


It is my time alone with my Creator and when the rest of the world disappears


It doesn't matter how many times i do this a day...


I still feel as if it's the last time i could do it that day


I want Him to know how much i love Him


How much i need Him


How much i want to please Him


Be with Him


And how much i want to be better for Him


All it takes is a few minutes on my lil prayer rug to feel close to Allah


All it takes is a quick reminder that one day I'll be in front of Allah


For me to humble myself before Him and ask Him for forgiveness


Ask for guidance and for His sweetness


For i can do all things with Him on my side


I can overcome all the heartbreak and pain that's inside


Just as long as Allah hears my cry


And carries me through this life


It is on that lil space where my face and hands land on my prayer rug that i feel most at ease


It is that lil space that fills me most with peace


Where i can just hand it all over to Allah and trust in Him to get me through


Where i can cry and cry and know Allah will take care of me when i don't know what to do


When i prostrate before Allah it's just me and Him


Just my heart talking sincerely to Him


No one else knows what i'm saying or what i'm feeling; just Him


It is my place to get away from this world even for just a few minutes and turn towards my Creator


My Sustainer


My Everything....My Rabb, and know that if i just whisper He can hear and see all that's inside


And everytime i ask and cry, He takes a lil peice of my heart and mends it back together inside.


It's that lil space that gives me all these things


My favorite spot is that lil space on my prayer rug where i place my hands and face


It is in that lil space...where it's just me and Allah...in my lil space.
