A Treasure
What you’ve done for me is beyond a gift
Where there were once only stairs to God
You’ve added a lift
An early morning appointed shift
To get up in the last third of the night
Our souls have their due right
Manifesting goodness to light
I love you so much
Those dimples, what a sight
A brief pause from the world’s plight
Most men of power are nothing
But some women of might
Shake Mother Earth at her core
Till she feels what she first felt*
So much so…
She asks the Moon for help
*النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الأَرْضَ جَعَلَتْ تَمِيدُ فَخَلَقَ الْجِبَالَ فَعَادَ بِهَا عَلَيْهَا فَاسْتَقَرَّتْ فَعَجِبَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْجِبَالِ قَالُوا يَا رَبِّ هَلْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ * شَيْءٌ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ قَالَ نَعَمِ الْحَدِيدُ . قَالُوا يَا رَبِّ فَهَلْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ شَيْءٌ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْحَدِيدِ قَالَ نَعَمِ النَّارُ . فَقَالُوا يَا رَبِّ فَهَلْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ شَيْءٌ أَشَدُّ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ نَعَمِ الْمَاءُ . قَالُوا يَا رَبِّ فَهَلْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ شَيْءٌ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْمَاءِ قَالَ نَعَمْ الرِّيحُ قَالُوا يَا رَبِّ فَهَلْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ شَيْءٌ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الرِّيحِ قَالَ نَعَمِ ابْنُ آدَمَ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ بِيَمِينِهِ يُخْفِيهَا مِنْ شِمَالِهِ "
The Prophet said: “When Allah created the earth, she started shaking. So He created the mountains, and said to them: ‘Upon her’ so she began to settle. The angels were amazed at the strength of the mountains, so they said: ‘O Lord! Is there among your creatures one who is stronger than the mountains?’ He said: ‘Yes. Iron.’ They said: ‘O Lord! Then is there anything among your creatures that is stronger than that iron?’ He said: ‘Yes. Fire.’ So they said: ‘O Lord! Is there anything among your creatures that is stronger than fire?’ He said: ‘Yes. Water.’ They said: ‘O Lord! Is there anything among your creatures that is stronger than water?’ He said: ‘Yes. Wind.’ They said: ‘O Lord! Is there anything among your creatures stronger than wind?’ He said: ‘Yes. The children of Adam. Who give charity with the right hand, while hiding it from the left.’”
It’s from الله
