O My Rubb
The world comes with its imperfection,
And taunts me for my faults,
Judging me for my flaws,
Merciless with its claws,
While You, despite Your perfection,
Console me with Your compassion,
Judging me by the best of my actions,
As I strive on Your path.
O My Rubb,
What would I have done,
Had you left me at this world’s mercy,
Letting me wallow in self pity,
Had You ever forsaken me?
But You show only acceptance,
When I turn to you in repentance,
So why would I not show appreciation,
As I strive on Your path.
“Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.”
The Qur’an, Surah Ar-Ra’d (Chapter of the thunder) 13:28
