'And if all the trees on earth were pens and the ocean (were ink), with seven oceans behind it to add to its (supply), yet would not the words of Allah be exhausted (in the writing): for Allah is Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom' [Surah Luqman, verse 27]

It is every writer's dream to mould his thoughts and imagination into perfect words that touches the heart of his readers. Yet, one fails to do so when his mere intention is to get approval from his readers for that means he writes to the interest of his readers and not the interest of his Almighty- Most Gracious Allaah!

Each and every heart is empty and remains void unless it is filled with the love of Al-Wudood (The Most Loving)

Ask yourself: What have I done with the ability Allah has given me? What do I have to hand over to Allah on that day when I see HIM? Did I convey the message our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) tried to convey until his last breath?

The joy one feels by having done something to gain the Pleasure of Al-Aliy {The Sublime} is something beyond description.

On the authority of Abu Huraira(may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) said: Allah the Almighty said:

"I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it (in an assembly of angels). And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed" - [Sahih Bukhari]

Peace and bliss descends upon the heart that was yearning to gain His (SWT)'s Pleasure whether it be in the form of writing or in the form of any other deed and how great would it be that The Lord Himself makes mention of you in an assembly of angels? All you have to do is convey His message to fellow humans and you will be addressed in an assembly better than it, an assembly of angels. SubhanAllah! How angelic! How divine! Praise be to the Lord of the Universe!

'Convey from me even if it be an ayah' [At-Tirmidhi]' - Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

The following is a poem I've written for Allah (Glorious and Exalted is He!)

~If writing is painting of the voice then I write this to voice my love for Thee Ya Allah Rabbul-Al-Ameen!~

The sun, the moon, the stars and the skies,

Our little Earth holding its precious lives,

Everything was created to bow down to Him,

The Master of the Universe, and nobody's kin

Today this soul yearns for Thy Love,

Thy Pleasure, Forgiveness for I've been so rough

When Thy Blessings had poured, with joy had I danced,

Forgetting every past trouble without even a backward glance

In Thy Remembrance had I found solace,

Reciting the Qur'an has brought me Thy Grace

Thee do I ask for help and Thee do I pray,

To grant me Jannat-ul-Firdous and never leave me astray

For Thine art Al-Sami, Al-Basir, As-Samad,

Al Wasi, Al-Qawwiy and also Al-Ahad

Reciting Thy Names, leaves my heart throbbing

For every Name is magnificent, its beauty astounding

My aim in this life is to seek Thy Pleasure,

In every single deed of mine, every moment of treasure

Thee have gifted me the ability to write,

I will use it to the best for Thy Pleasure and Delight

All I ask Thou are to be pleased with me

For I'm thy helpless servant, only thou can bring me glee

As I sit here writing, I delight in the moment, in awe at last

I cry for hereafter and that glorious moment had passed
