Friday Truffle: Poem by Fida

As Salaamu Alaikum

I would like to share a very nice poem on this blessed day! It is called, "Lailatul Qadr," by a poet named  Fida Islaih. What drew me to this poem was her description of the evening. By Allah, I felt the same way a couple nights ago! Here is the poem and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did. May Allah bless sister Fida and continue to bless and strengthen her poetic skills. Please check out her poetry blog.

Lailatul Qadr 

Last night felt like Lailatul Qadr 

I came home feeling happy and peaceful 

the weather just right, 

not too cold and not too hot 

It might be time for bed 

but Dhikr plays in my head 

some of us sit outside 

enjoying tea in the quiet 

Looking up at the sky 

all the stars are out 

and I notice it all 

and some in it's constellation 

But crickets come calling 

and so does bed 

but it might be Lailatul Qadr 

and you'd want the blessings 

of a night worth more than a thousand months 

I wash myself 

and dress back into modesty 

all wrapped up 

I stand on my prayer mat 

keeping myself focused 

I praise and ask for forgiveness 

All this to God.
