Umm Muslimah

~Umm Muslimah~

The woman I knew and loved most

Our age differences did not keep us from being true friends

You were like the older sister I dreamt of
You were a true companion and proved yourself honest 
You were beautiful to me in every way

Your smile put a smile to my face
Your sadness wiped away the laughs and smiles
When you were sad you had a right to be sad
And you had every right to
For who could stand to smile and see the sufferings of the oppressed?
But when you smiled, it was the best thing
You were very considerate and were there for others
But we failed and were not there for you
You had Allah on your side
Your love for tawheed and its people was true

Your hatred for falsehood was also imminent

Your smile of faith and trust wiped away the smirks and frowns of the doubtful

Your emaan and firmness put the cowards to shame

My love, my dear sister, patience is not something I should advice you

Patience is now your best friend
You live in patience and steadfastness

You are the light in the darkness of the prisons

You are the ship of faith amidst the tides of kufr and ilhaad

You are the proud daughter of the righteous milla

You are the sister of the most trustworthy handhold

You were true to your covenant once, so remain firm on it like others before you

You are my sister, my beloved, umm muslimah
