SURRENDERING TO ALLAH

will it be like walking through a door
whether or not the door is there?
will it break my bones
or take away all i know?
will the prophet (peace be upon him)
be there reciting, chanting Your names?
will i die? or will i live?
will i take it as my last breath
when it doesn't matter anymore?
how will i close every earthly door
when my body depends on this world
and i find myself unable to turn
away and run to You, Ya Salaam,
Ya Karim, Ya Wadood, Ya Shifa,
Ya Mustafa, Ya Allah, Allah, Huuuuu.

You have asked exactly the right questions in this marvelous poem of surrender to Allah :) Please consider sending it to Sufi magazine.

The answer is none of the above. It is love that leads to surrender, and in time, the heart cracks open and love pours out, and then nothing can stop the joy, not pain, not death, nothing. It is love for all creation, and every creature in it. It is surrendering to this Love that is the Truth of it :)

Ya Haqq!
