FAJR..





By Musa Burki

As we rise in the morning
Our souls possess a yearning
To fill our hearts with spiritual light
Kneeling as a humble servant in His sight

The dawn rings out a peaceful solitude
Rising from our slumber to show gratitude
Revealed words which emanate from the heart
A beautiful ritual for our day to start

Standing before Him in all His glory
While He encompasses our entire life story
Pleading and begging for a measure of grace
As we wipe the tears from our face

Prostrating and bowing in complete humility
Desiring to feel the mercy and tranquility
Releasing our fears and anxiety
Increasing us in our level of piety

We feel the trembling of our soul as it’s shaken

As the wind and the sun begin to awaken
Completing our spiritual practice at the start of day
Asking for our Lord to light the way

A wonderful contentment rests in our spirit
Obeying the call to prayer as we hear it
Our day can now begin with clarity and peace
Hoping that our love for Him will increase.

Biar Aku Sahaja

“Boleh tolong aku siket tak?” “Apa dia?” Meski sejak tadi berdiam diri, mulut terkunci sepi, matanya dari tadi menatap susuk tubuh yang duduk di hadapannya. “Berhenti pandang aku macam tu. Berhenti tengok aku macam aku cedera parah. Berhenti tengok aku macam aku orang yang kau kena lindung. Aku ok. Jangan risau.” Dia faham pandangan Ijad. Lagi lagi lepas Ijad nampak dia nangis habis tadi dalam bilik. Dan Ijad cuma tercegat berdiri kat situ dengan pandangan yang sama tanpa sepatah kata. Dia tahu Ijad tak perlu tanya apa-apa, Ijad tahu semua. “Tolonglah berhenti. Kau cuma buat hati aku lagi luluh.” Ijad dengan perlahan membawa pandangan ke luar tingkap. Angin berderu masuk membawa angin  sejuk yang sekali lagi menambah pedih di hulu hatinya. Terasa ingin menangis lagi sekali. “Kau tahu Nas apa buat aku rasa tak guna sekarang?”  Ijad bersuara rendah seolah-olah bercakap dengan diri sendiri. Dia mendiamkan diri. Perlahan tangannya memgang dadanya. Sak...

2020- The Pandemic Year

As we are approaching the end of the year 2020, I find my heart starts to fill with rage and fire again. I'm hurt and angry (probably at God again). I know we all have a hard time this year but we are not exactly in the same boat. As for me, I saw 2020 as a hope, that after everything I went through in 2019, 2020 is going to be fine. At least, that's what I've been telling myself. And now we are already in December, I think I've lied to myself enough. So, let's summarize what happened in the year 2020. First of all, I had a sleep disorder. My sleep problem was terrible and it all started after I came back to Germany. Sometimes, I was getting like 3 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. This disaster continued on for almost 8 to 9 months. However, this sleep disorder helped me a lot while getting through Ramadhan. So, for the first time since I arrived in Germany, I can follow another version of the prayer calendar, which I believe is more nature convincing. Oh yes, me...

Ask God Now

This thought hit me so hard that I just can't ignore it and start to write again in this blog. You know what, think of the time when you were in trouble. Think of the time when you were sick. Think of the time when nothing went fine. Think of the time when your chest felt as if it would burst any second at any time. And remember how many times you called God to fix the thing for you. Remember how many times you asked God to make the way easy for you. Remember the time you asked God to lend you the strength to walk through the rough and cold season. And how many times did God answer your call? Every time! Each and every time! Some in ways that you can see it with your naked eye and some in ways that you could only understand if you have patience hold inside your soul. See, we are the living proof that God answers every prayer. But there will come a time when our call, our prayers will be ignored. And that's when we know everything is too late. When is that? When we alre...
