Politics

Growing empathy for other people as well as enjoining the good and forbiding the evil contribute to nafs purification/self refinement. A hadith says if a change for betterment cant be achieved through action, then we should let people know what is the right thing. If this is not possible, we at least know what is right and this is the lowest form of imaan (thus least purified self).

Getting involved into politics is neither a sentimental let-off nor a career path, it should be a part of self purification effort.

Hate

hate and anger are inherent in humans' heart. they are emotions required for survival. hate and anger toward negativity such as helplessness, impoverishment, injustice and tyranny would provide a huge energy to make things better.

find the root of the discomfort and direct the emotions into a positive action. In the next stage, after these emotions are properly managed, love will overwhelm.

Seeing God

I see Allah through intellect and spirituality which are given by Him, guidance by His words in the Holy Book, the prophets, ahl-albayt and people of truth. If we knew Allah and follow the true guidance, nothing we can embrace but love and happiness.

Human is not god, be it clerics, leaders or kings. By playing god, someone will create sufferings and disharmony to the people and the world. If someone is acting like a god, a fight should be carried out to him by any means suitable.

Existence, if love rules

existence through arrogance
shrouding others existence
anxiety in abundance
starve to seize opponent
competition as if beasts in torment

love allows each to exist
embrace others blemish
working for peace
felicity to be feasted
serenity at ease

A Sayed and His Name

someone whose name after the waliyullah and a sayed
should follow his example, as well as others should
dont hide behind the cognate
make your great-grandfather proud

Finding True Self

finding true self is quite an effort but it is the starting point that one can comprehend God. knowing what i am and who made me will lead to know God, the Creator.
he says "come walking closer to me and i'll come running at you". thusly he be ceaselessly guiding to understand why i am here and what i am supposed to do in this lifetime and by then i'll be able to live my life properly.

contemplations, good deeds as well as ibada and stuffs are the means to get closer to Him. though these will not be useful if the heart and mind are dominated by arrogance, envy, hatred, lust etc.

nobody can comprehend His essence, because a creation will not be able to understand the creator, but understand only His existence through His manifestation.

My Tamil Dude

A poem to compliment a respected man of true knowledge calling for a unity in Islam amid annoyance from some people:

that Tamil dude is my kind of guy
dark skinned body and pure inside
rappin fo only real people who can get his vibe
knockin down words spit by arrogant's pride
freakin babies wearin gangstas attire

i feel him i feel his will
nothin he wishes but a peace deal
marchin together as a flock of real
to enjoin the good n forbid the evil
chill real gangstas dont be feared
the crowd you're all in he wont steal

Path of Love

the first step on it
abundant hope and delighted
highly spirited, running high speed
then it is getting steep
hard to breathe

friends become hostility
marginal benignity
old days are brought up to me
tryin to push me back into slavery
everything seems to be in uncertainty
sidetrack looks easy

a scream in despair
"is it really worthy?"

suddenly
a breeze come about in obscurity
sweetness engulfs acrimony

affirmation to the guideline
my muscle grows sronger
my soul is getting firmer

if my whole existence is to be vanished
so be it
it is yours anyway
the owner with love
the lover who owns
im just one of your servant
worthless in your face
no existence without your love

Love's Remedy

may Love and his forgiveness
remedy our imperfectness
discharge the errors and mistakes
increase the faith and boldness
to enjoin the goods and to forbid the evils

Await True Help

Helping each other would be a nicety
Prepare ourselves until true help comes into reality
True help awaits readiness to march in his army
Turn this world of tyranny around into justice and serenity

One

Heart, a void that can only be fulfilled by the truthfulness
Mind, the content of the the heart determines its cleanness
Freewill, a greatest gift only human can exercise at the largest
Love, without challenges how can it be grown to the fullest
One, a hidden treasure loves to be known through the manifest

One Sweet Soul

one sweet soul blows a cozy passion
yet guideline warns destruction
switch the flow to a productive bond
respect and care remain on

her soul is deeply in passion
felicitations, for it gives strength to the emotion
supplications, for the way ahead contains examination

The Pure Hearts

all the pure hearts set precedence
in circumstances amid the disorderliness
dictate the guideline for compliance
with the teaching of the messenger of oneness

the waliyullah never took a stance
to throw the ruler lacking perfectness
eventhough some chipped in annoyance
proposing coup d'etat in falseness

One pure soul poured the holy blood
with army not balancing the enemy bold
against a tyrant trying to alter the truth
in hunger for power to slave the mass in whole

unity is called at times of allowance
soul is sacrificed at times of requirement

Simplicity

unfortunately life is complicated
but why not make it simple
for simplicity leads to happiness
embrace life beautiness
feel the love from oneness

Trapped

Being trapped in the hatred's dominance
of the tragedies in the antecedence
Unabe to grasp the core
of the blood was poured for

Bloodline is a sentiment
can be abused to justify the violence
Instead of being grateful
for reminder to be truthful

Love's Antidote

for self-glorifications are antidote
to the love runs in the blood
giving air to breathe for minor Gods
covering the sight from the true God
and joining the path of hypocrites.

Truth and Love

truth and love are partner
can't have one without the other
it's sufi stuff, my dear brother
i leave it to us to ponder.

Intoxicated

when you are intoxicated
your vein is flooded with love
injected into from the True Love

dream nothing but love
think nothing but love
desire nothing but love
addicted to nothing but love
share nothing but love
speak nothing but love
hear nothing but love
act nothing but out of love

cry and fall to the ground
when love is spoken
as if getting more wine
for the soul to the dependency
being grateful to the source of Love

Blood for Life

Drinking each others blood
Enriching each others soul
Inspiring each others life
The vein will be blood-refilled naturally
Is that not all about life socially ?

Inevitable Battle

The battle between the good and the evil is inevitable
Inside and outside
So real peace dominates
Fasten your seatbelt!

the battle field inside between lust and religion
the faith wins when the intellect comes along
enable to justify what is right and what is wrong

sword and pen have no power
without the hand setting example
perseverance and patience are in the path of struggle
to spread the truth and to raise the inner power

fear the tyrants with their own soldier
breaking apart due to deluding hunger
lets go hand in hand fighting the darkness
with true love joining for oneness

Gangstas Poem

A poem to compliment a series of poems written by street-style poets:

Diggin through the thread
as if seeing a sheakerspeare drama
played by gangsta masta

With one common theme
Enjoin the good and forbid the evil
As it is Allah's will so truth can prevail
Prayers for all of you mastas so yall can keep spittin all
Inspirations from the Master of All
The One and Only

O Light, O Love

It is so sweet and warm,
When passion is around.

It feels like,
No mountain is too high,
No distance can't be passed.

But why ?
It hurts again.
Anguish is coming back.
Rage explodes.
In the dark,
Pain.

Was it love,
or was it an illusion.
A soul searching for something,
to fill the hole in my heart.

Then You spoke to me,
through Your loved ones,
messengers and saints.
to walk the path of love.

Care for the elder,
Passion for the younger,
Feed the hunger,
Help the needy,
Free the slaves,
Fight the injustice,
Throw the tyrant,
Preserve the humanity,
Save the nature.

You said,
It won't be a journey,
with flowers and leisures.
But with patience and perseverance,
Controlling lusts and desires,
Through honesty and sincerity,
That I will find true love,
somewhere along the path.

An eternal one.

With ups and downs,
doubts and reaffirmations,
Covers are fallen,
One after the other.
Light shines through,
Sight is illuminated,
A true love is tasted.
A state of peacefulness,

Tranquility.

All praise to You,
the light the love,
the one and only.

O Light, O Love,
Please keep guiding me,
and helping me,
with my imperfection,
to stay on the path of love.

Do I?

What am I trying to prove ?
Stabbing people with words
Throwing pranks
Cutting hearts

Yes
I feel good
I am being smart
Superiority over those fools

Do I lose something ?
No! Well... on a second thought
My innocence
Empathy
Trust
and...Peace of mind

Do I need those ?
Hmmm... I do not know

Do I?

Let's Dance

Let's dance
through words, with words
Drawing, painting, reaching, connecting

Let's dance
Hold hands together, circling around.

Let's dance
Sight the reflections of the light through the crystal of selfs

Let's dance
Enjoy the wonders
Of mind boggling
Of heart sparkling
Of soul searching

Let's dance
Jive the words
Articulate the contemplation.

Let's dance
and enrich the soul.

Try Love

Try being in love
To love and accept love from The Lover
Won't be a smooth journey for sure, but worthy

What is not mortal
other than The Love
It illuminates the sight.

Masks

Masks to cover
Longing for recognition
Questing empathy
Looking inside at the bottom
Anger, envy, misery, stain
Helplessness, despair, vain
Pain

Throwing all the masks
Seek aid from within
A spot of light growing brighter
Submission and sincerity
All it takes to connect
To the Source of Light

No compulsion
Taking or ignoring the light
Or in between
Each has consequences

Isnt freewill a greatest gift ?

Words

Words draw
Words paint
Words reach
Words connect

Spit them out

Seeking Death

Either in love or in pain
At the deepest
Seek savior in death
One desires eternity
Other wishes expiry

Love meets death with preparation
Pain seeks death in desperation
