Saving Grace Poem by Aqeb Benazir Ibn Minar

Saving Grace

Rating: 5.0


Introduction: Don't you quit no matter how hard it is, no matter how much you struggle. This is called life; this is the test, with its twists and turns. Make the best out if it. We just have to believe in Almighty's light, His saving grace and follow the Grande hope up to the end of the tunnel, until the end of our lives.

When time gets tough, days seem long
As sometimes it does, you feel the song,
When heroes depart, hearts sink below
And most of us smile, as we feel them glow,
When past calls back to remind us of them
Some tears fall down, even out of gem.

When life gets rough, through those tough times
Just don't give up, on hope we survive,
We wonder how everything's still here
That's when we believe, we have Him to share,
Faith is that bird, which reminds us at night
By singing its songs, that calls us to light

Confusions arise, when fear overcomes
Happiness glow dim, as trusts come undone,
Hearts and rules are made to be broken
In order to improve those that's unspoken,
Some may confound the truth with the lies
That's why He gave, us these two eyes.

You make your own choice with the dreams you shelter
That seems way uphill, just makes you stronger,
If you fall thousand times, you don't quit the tour
You succeed one time and you reach your goal,
To some it seems hard, to you it's the art
Some may just quit but you try and try, till the new start.

Our saving graces and these themes have and will continue to be written upon countless times. The concept of not quitting of which you speak could perhaps best be summed up in a 'A Will To Win'. The brief lines I wrote on this I defined as attitude especially in the face of adversity defines our destinies The confusion of which you speak in the third stanza seems to be deceptive values of material gain at any cost as opposed to religious principles of what is right and wrong. Religion and God has defined guidelines to illuminate truth and morality which time and history has repeatedly proven we ignore at our own peril. I often wondered how it would feel to perceive hypocritical humanity through the eyes of God while still retaining the heart of man. This is my answer which seems to compliment your poem. 'Eyes Of God' To see men, with eyes of God the heart of man, is truly a sorrowful terrible thing. The questions you are asking give rise to multiple depths of meaning within the philosophy and meaning of life. Keep searching. Terence

So positive and breathtaking...Masha'Allah you are full of Allah's elegance and charm that grabs attention at first glance. my favs from this poem are: 'When heroes depart, hearts sink below And most of us smile, as we feel them glow, ' - True words of a Muslim who has knowledge Masha'Allah...We know our loved one's the best and we believe they served Allah till their dying breath and we can feel the gratitude, the warm happiness for their departure to Allah, and we say Alhamdulillah because they have completed their journey, it's time they rest...until we meet again Inshallah! 'Faith is that bird, which reminds us at night By singing its songs, that calls us to light' - True words about tahajjud salaat! ! the bird that prays and recites, it's own Zikr for Allah at 3: 00am! Beautifully expressed! ! Such an inspiration you give to your readers i can see, You truly are blessed with writing skills my friend! ! Inshallah I pray for you in Ramadan that you will go a long way and Allah may help you through this beautiful quest!
