Rescheduled Zikr Allah - March 30,2013, 7:30 pm

This is so, because Allah is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who has power over all things. 

Qu'ran 22:6 Yusuf Ali translation

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

You came suddenly like resurrection,

like an infinite blessing

and my thoughts burned like trees on fire.

You came today like God Himself,

generous and full of grace,

holding the key to my freedom in your hands.

Both traveller and the road,

the beginning and the end,

You are the gatekeeper of the Sun.

For so long I have lived in pain, suspended

between my longing and my need for bread.

Now that You have risen in my heart

and taken over my thoughts,

I am breaking the pen and leaving the paper.

My Sun has risen.

Come break the pen and leave the paper

Zikr Allah, poetry,

followed by sohbet, sweets.
