Loves Promises

Every night as you sleep,
I check up on you.
I run my fingers through your head,
Wipe away the sweat beads that appear
From being too deep in the covers.
I examine your small fingers,
And kiss everyone.

I’m reminded of the day I first set my eyes on you,
Small and innocent.
When the nurse placed you in my arms,
I was lost,
Lost in my love for you.
You looked at me long and hard,
And then a small smile formed around the sweet corners of your beautiful face.
Slowly your eyes closed,
And you fell into a blissful sleep.
Tears spring to my eyes.

I still couldn’t believe you were mine,
I could not believe you came from me.
And I was amazed and moved that god had shed his grace on me.
I had so many fears,
But they vanished the moment I set my eyes on you.
You are my everything.

I vowed that day to make all your dreams and hopes come true.
Since that winter morning
I have lived every day for you.
And will continue to do so.
Your happiness will be my happiness,
Your dreams will be my dreams.
And I will stay by your side in every conquest you face,
In every heartache you may come against,
I will be your haven to seek solace and comfort in.


These are my promises to you.

Tears

When I see her tears, her pain why do I ache in here? Is this justice? If the burden of both tears and pain were her, what justice would that be? Were her tears and her pain to be mine, justice would be done The tears welled up from her heart. I made her cry.  When her tears stream down here why do I ache in here? She says I don’t understand anything.  If I never understood anything, How come I understand what I am and what she is ?

International Women's Day: A Tribute To The Yazidi Women

Today is International Women’s Day. Last year I focused on women as a whole and spoke of the hardships some of us endure from single parenthood to dying in war torn nations. But this year I want to focus on the women, the girls, the prisoners of war, who are being treated like objects and are being sold into slavery and treated as sex slaves. These girls and women are being raped countless times every day and are giving birth to babies at young ages and dying during childbirth. These victims of sex slavery are not only traumatized physically but also emotionally. When, if they are released from their imprisonments’, they are not able to speak to their families of what really happened to them, rape, because if they do they’ll be cast away from their families because of their family honor. These women are told that being raped by a man or men is acceptable within Islam, this is false information. These women are the thousands and hundreds of thousands of Yazidi women who have been ...

Project Akhirah

This week I had the honor of learning more about a new Non profit organization still in its early stages yet has been successful beyond words; this charity is called Project Akhirah. A very close friend and sister of mine, Amina Farah, first reached out to me to discuss Project Akhirah and her volunteer work with this incredible organization. Project Akhirah is very new and thriving and looking to get the word out of what their organization wishes to accomplish. I decided why not write a blog! I’m always looking for reasons to sit back and type away. Project Akhirah is a Non profit organization set up in 2013 by a group of young Muslimahs’ in hopes of making a difference in the lives of the less fortunate, those whose lives are laden with poverty and suffering.  However each of the girls were personally affected by the crisis in Syria in particular and felt it a responsibility to help towards this cause. As a group they had made pledges to raise enough funds to donate to the ...
