Harmony of the Absolute


A beautiful day out upon the vast sea
A gentle breeze blowing my sails propelling me

In this tranquil self-bliss I feel so free
Taking no heed of the things impossible to foresee

At any moment in time, the breeze may cease to be
Or alternatively indeed, a strong storm may proceed

At this inevitable juncture, past preparation is key
Either panic in fragility, or rest in wit of the Almighty


So when I am stranded out upon the vast sea
O Lord please only bestow patience upon me

And when chaotic conditions surround me
O Lord please only bestow clarity so I can see

Repentance


O Lord

Faith in You is the only strength
So let me not repeat past mistakes again

And when affliction overcometh me
May I only seek after Your eternal sanctity


Please forgive my mistakes
A sign of my faiths immaturity

And strengthen my hope
Through my deeds hope is reality

Equilibrium in Allah�s purpose, and not your own



Disequilibria in the Soul

When the Hidden is an enemy to dusts cyclic hold
Self an illusionary burden Allah offers to resolve

Deviation from the Path

Division when perception is not sensitive to the whole
Indecision in the covenant Allah promises to uphold

Assalaamu aliakum wa rahmatullah

 

 

I hope that you may find mercy in your heart to forgive my abruptness.

 

Previously (I regret) you witnessed my frustration, which is mainly due to a lack of cooperation. Maybe you are able to perceive that if we make no effort to listen to the discernment of each other, then in the community there will be no harmony.

 

 

The Old Testament

Book of Proverbs - 16

 

1:The preparation of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

2:All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

3:Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

4:The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

5:Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

6:By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

 

 

I guess I personally got stuck in a rut, and used to people hating me, merely because (with them) I dared to disagree. So if you still hate me, then fine, but please only hate my abruptness, for if you hate me merely because I disagree, then of arrogance are you not guilty?    

 

 

The Old Testament

Book of Proverbs - 15

 

28:The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

29:The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

30:The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

31:The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

32:He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

33:The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
