There's something to hide, there's something to show When to yes & when to say no Learn the art & you'll know Life is easy, it's easy to grow This life is fun like magic show Show your tricks and love you sow  Feel your art and let it flow If don't get praise, don't let it go Be kind and gentle to people you know And daily to ALLAH you should bow This is the guide to know and grow This life is one, make world glow

Trust yourself to know what's true, To find your way in darkness. Let the world inspire you, Don't live your life in blindness. All this - created not by chance, But a solemn testimony. Find the importance of this life, And upon the path stay steady. Trust yourself to know what's true, Don't follow the absurd. Let the truth inspire you, For ignorance can be cured.

The Moon, The Sky, The Stars. They say They bring the night And soul to life. But I forgot about all of them when all I see behind is you, My Creator.

Generosity isn't just being kind or nice once in a lifetime, It's being good all the time. You shouldn't just be nice on a specific day or holiday, Generosity is a full time job. It's a characteristic of a Muslim isn't it enough for you? To follow in the steps of the Prophets And listen to the word of God. If you can't do this one simple thing How do you call yourself a Muslim? There are numerous ways for you to be generous Some of us don't even try. Be generous and Your life just might seem just a little bit  brighter.

We just need to wake up and mobilize ourselves to realize our hidden potential.

My heart craved for something. I started digging, To find the gems of the world, Nothing stopped me. I went deeper, What I got was not enough, While sinking into the deep ocean of desires, While wishing to have each and everything, While losing all the hopes, While losing all the sleep,  Nothing soothed me. I had no more strength to move on, I had no more strength to face the world, I had no more strength to hold on. Then, I saw something bright coming towards me, That's all I wanted, That's all I needed. I moved forward, Wondering. That was the time, When I saw a rope, The rope Of Allah I hold it tightly.
