Bismillah...
Little drops gathered
form small streams run
along its woodland path
past fallen branches
roots protruding from the ground
run and gather they did
trickling fast until they stilled
to the main river they're meant to find
till they meet others still
in their path to their ending one
'Tis life far from over
one story gathers to another one
woven and woven together
what used to be different now becomes one
Once upon a time, I feared looking into the future
first motherhood is that
full of hope and fear
tethering to the edge, pleading for any kind of hold
and really..all that matters is He who Creates us
A very white one she is
everytime someone says that, makes me want to hold her cheeks to mine
yes, indeed
once, she was very
eyes never leaving her till her cheeks become flushed and her first cries be heard
waiting for the flailing kicking that she had done inside
that waiting, just holding on to Allah swt, hoping..praying..
...and for the first week,
just looking..makes the hold tighter,
whispering soft prayers to her ears
for nine months, for a breath of life
now, for a life dedicated to One who makes her alive
my child, there is only One who could love you more than I do
while I can say I will stay with you forever
love and cherish you
wanting to give the world to you
it's not possible
for the only One who could know your heart
truly protect and cherish them
till goodness comes out from your words
from your actions as you grow up
there can only be One
the best I can do , give as a mother
more than love and affection
is to give you 'ilm
knowledge of this Deen
so you can recognize your Creator
for the saddest thing, really
is to not know
Hadis riwayat Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu’anhu, ia berkata: Rasulullah
Shallallahu alaihi wassalam bersabda:
“Setiap anak itu dilahirkan dalam
keadaan fitrah. Kedua orang tuanyalah yang membuatnya menjadi seorang
Yahudi, seorang Nasrani maupun seorang musyrik.”
Lalu seorang laki-laki
bertanya:
“Ya Rasulullah! Bagaimana pendapat engkau kalau anak itu mati
sebelum itu?”
Beliau menjawab: “Allah lebih tahu tentang apa yang pernah
mereka kerjakan.”
