Poems

Tawwakul, For Children

I am Yusuf in the well
I am Ibrahim in the fire
I am the Sahaba 
Standing at Badr


When I’m in trouble 
I don’t despair 
Because I know I won’t fail
For I am Yunis
In the belly of the whale


So I raise my hands
And ask Allah to help me
Just like Mariam
Under the tree


The longer I wait
I don’t once groan
Because the greater my reward
Just like Asiya
In the home of Firown


Then soon enough
The problem will split for me
Just like Musa
Between the army and the sea


And so I will continue to say with ease
That I will achieve all my dreams
For I am a Muslim
With the same Lord as those before me
