Bismillah...

had these 6 visitors yesterday

waiting at the doorsteps

Nisfu Sya'baan seems to mark its presence in a dramatic note

first the rain

right before maghrib

the sudden thunder

as if to remind/ warn

"today..your book of deeds would be lifted

tomorrow there'll be a new one

how did your colour your life?

how will you draw your future?"

to those that are writing my deeds right now (Raqib & Atid)

who had passed my book to Allah swt

my sins..my deeds..each one..no matter how minuscule

counted

and now writing a new one

where/ what are you writing now?

is it you, O Raqib (writer of bad deeds)?

or you, O Atid (writer of good deeds)?

:"(


"what is this book?
what is this book?
that leaves not a small thing nor a great thing, but numbers them (all)"

Child of Fire

Bismillah..

From wattpad:

Child of Fire

-Amuse-bouche

Perhaps I dream of the impossible

Based on wonders I have seen

In the midst of harsh defiant beauty

And ruggedly hard fought dreams.

This land still draws together

All those who venture there to share,

In gifts from an untamed wilderness

And America's last frontier.

Here the dramatic elements struggle

As conflict build within and grows,

Roughhewn facets of ice capped stone

Bank still smoldering fires below.

Forbidden aqua blue fortress

Clinging to barren rocks for show,

Take on a somewhat softer illusion

When dusted by new fallen snow.

The stubborn Sun refuses to yield

to the desolation of deep dark night,

In this land so vast and grand,

Teaming with neverending sights.

Bitter black seas choked with ice

Bring delicacies of the oceas harvest,

And instant death to some whose folly

Leads them on this dangerous quest.

"The land of ten thousand smokes"

Like our current political clime,

Promises to keep things interesting

And shake things from time to time.

Though the stark cold of the environment

Intimidates, tenderness there you'll find,

In the genuine warmth of the people

And Sourdough Spirit of the minds.

Ever changing wild, and free at heart

Alaska will always so inspire,

All those who come to the frozen north

To visit this Child of Fire!

"Kami akan memperlihatkan kepada mereka tanda-tanda (kebesaran) kami di segenap penjuru dan pada diri mereka sendiri, sehingga jelaslah bagi mereka bahwa Al-Qur'an itu adalah benar. Tidak cukupkah (bagi kamu) bahwa Tuhanmu menjadi saksi atas segala sesuatu?"
Fussilat, 41: 53
