THE LIGHT THAT SHINES FOREVER
THE LIGHT
THAT SHINES FOREVER
1BF
A young girl,
As rare as a pearl,
Completely
was life changed,
In the
best way explained.
Leaving
home had her heartbroken,
Making
her a confident person.
A leap of
faith is all she took,
Began her
journey to study The Book.
Across
the sky, she flew,
Not
knowing even, a clue,
In Allah
is her trust,
To a new
life, she had to adjust.
“Tell me
more!”, exclaims my grandchild,
“Oh, how
wonderful seems her life!” she cried.
“My boy,
lend your ear to this part,”
“For her journey was a work of art.”
Entering
her room with grace,
Emotions
gush to her face.
Standing
there are her roommates,
Ready to
welcome her and congratulate.
The
Nairobi mukhayyam,
For an
adventure, here I am!
With
foundations so strong,
Becoming
Hafiz not before long.
To help
children exceed in life,
All to
blossom and ahead they’d strive.
Breakfast
in the morning,
While
some might be snoring.
Lunch
meals at noon,
How did the day end so soon?
She ends
the day at Souq,
With
friends always there to amuse,
Laughing
softly in their rooms,
Hifz time
now resumes.
Dawning
upon us is the night,
Stars
sparkling so bright,
All the
glimmering faces in sight,
With The
Quran’s soothing light.
Sitting
on the edge of the stairs,
People
thought it might not be fair,
For a
girl all so new,
To accomplish
her goals in months so few.
Some took
it as a competition,
She made
it her motivation.
The Quran is her only true friend.
Helping
her to comprehend.
“What
gave her that motivation?”
“It was
all in her dedication”,
To
practice with concentration.
Learning
Quran day and night,
Became
her reason for delight.
“What if
I don’t make it”? A voice would say,
The
thought haunted her all day,
Maula’s
words would expel all the dismay,
And saved
her from going astray.
Finally,
the day had arrived,
She hoped
for before she died.
Breathing,
feeling alive inside,
She sat
down and cried.
Thanked
the All-Mighty, “Oh Allah,”
“For
everything along the way”
“You and
Maula, are the reason for this day,”
“A great
blessing is what I can say.”
Close
came the time to part,
Sadness
approaching her heart,
Days she
once lived would now seem,
Like a
cherished unforgettable dream.
Their
last meal together,
Tears rolled
down forever,
All stood
there, their eye chose to cry,
For they
waved their sister goodbye.
“What an
amazing journey”
Explains
my boy with certainty,
“Only
will it make sense for those who believe”
“Grandma,
this inspiration I promise, will never leave .”
The story
is an insight,
To make
my grandchildren recite,
The holy
Quran till the day,
Inside
their graves they may lay.
The Quran
will change never,
Keeping us altogether,
With
verses oh so clever,
The light that shines forever.
