Don't Confine My Soul

Islamic Poetryby Jumaana Salma Amatullah

My people are the various peoples of the world
Not just here or there, but every place I go
There are no borders to hold back my love
No barbed wires to pierce my soul...
My sight sees no difference in you and I
You are a body of emotions and soul
So too am I

Vast oceans to me are only cooling passages
Part of a pleasant diversion of a long journey
From one piece of dry earth, to another shore
Then...there is just more

So, if your celebrations and rituals differ from mine
I ask only for you to help me to understand
So I too may enrich my mind***

my soul, i realise is confined by myself...when each passing moment arrives with a new invitation to either consider the occurrences in that moment as someone's doing or consider it Allah's doing.....often i commit the error of considering the "created" responsible for the "Creator's" doings and get entangled in all those negative emotions and sentiments that plague humans .........i wish and pray that i would consider each momnet a new oppurtunity for me to accept it as Allah's Will and perform thru that moment 100% according to the sunnah of the teacher(alaih assalaat wa salam).......only that would fill me with gratitude for each moment sent my way...and enhance my self-esteem for being considered worthy of a test.

Asalaama Alaikum,
The poem I posted was written by my adoptive mom. I really liked it and so I put it in here so I could share it with others. I hope you liked it too.
Salaam Waa'il
