*Verily, in the remembrance of Allah [swt], do hearts find peace.* - Al-Rad; Surah 13:28.

Tears fall and smiles fade, i raise my hands and i admit i'm afraid. I think about the life i've made; will this life be protected by Allah's [swt] shade?
I bow down to my Lord and as i prostrate, i see the light shine on the path so Straight. And i wonder why i struggle; why do i fall so deep and that's when my soul begins to weep.
I remember one day i made a mistake, i was confused and i forgot i'm only living for His sake. I let this dunya consume me, and i ask myself: when i rise up to my Lord, is this how i wanna be?
That's when the truth becomes clear and suddenly im shaking in fear, my heart begins to beat and beat and it's like i'm already touching the heat.
My tears dry but i still cry, as i beg for the forgiveness from Allah Most High; You are the Most Worthy, please shower me with Your Mercy. The Creator of the creation; Who put me here on a mission.
Deep inside i feel i'm failing, daily i'm struggling, i'm just falling under, i hit the ground and that's when i wonder, about this life i'm living; every breath i'm taking; every move i'm making; every chance i'm taking...

This life isn't mine, it's not something i own; i'm just a traveller in this world so unknown; this isn't a place i wanna call home coz i know when i leave, i'll be leaving all alone.
Tears still in my eyes, burdened with those silent cries; if my words don't say much then read the story in my eyes.
I see favour upon favour, moments that i savour, i try so hard making them last but everybody knows moments become a thing of the past.
And now as i sit straight, i can see the shadow behind the Gate. As my soul is reassured: "After hardship will always come ease", i smile because i truly know that "Verily, in the remembrance of Allah [swt], do hearts find peace."
