The
Night of Power
Ahmed
Hussain
In
the darkness, silent whisper breeze of night,
Descended
from heaven the book of guidance,
From
Allah, the one to whom belongs all wisdom, might,
To
intellects it brought knowledge, to heart it brought light.
To
the Beloved Prophet, Muhammad, the pure, the one with open heart,
The
Absolute Wisdom of Allah (SWT) did the book impart.
We
too, like him, should try to be pure,
So
in our hearts, as in his, Allah would his message ensure.
Try
to imagine the span of Gabriel’s wing,
Descended
from highest heavens the message to bring,
Yet
the heart of the Prophet and his followers true
Transcend
all creation when they the message include.
Time,
too like, space, this night is bent
Believers,
gather themselves, this night to repent
Return
unto Allah, with sincere overture
Of
all evil, and forgetfulness let your soul be spent.
