AL-AMIN (SAW) by Khalid Imam

Millions of orbiting hearts
in obedience they accept:
The brightness of his vision,
The simplicity of his teachings,
The clarity of his objective
The profundity of his philosophy

His mission, unambiguous
His nobility, unmatched
His humility, bold as a full moon
His love, a tranquil apple
To all believing souls
His trustworthiness,
a rescue-canoe from turbulent waters
His life, a blessing to mankind
And a beam to all

In victory,
Always compassionate,
Merciful,
Forgiving to the vanquished lots

In defeat,
Always patient,
Calm,
Thankful to He Who pilots all affairs

Yesterday,
No gem was as sparkling as his Today,
No jewel as radiant as his Tomorrow,
No star will be as bright as his

Who then decided he wanted a taste of what Mr. Abel had.” “So it seemed.” “I think this Abel guy is the one that should have been beaten up, he caused everything.” “I agree with you, he should have respected his crazy wife’s privacy, even if he and his brother were joined at the hip and shared the same brain, he should have still kept his big bragging mouth shot.” “Watch your words please.” Mo said softly. “Fine” “Though crazy is the only word for that wife of his.” Mo later admitted. They both laugh...

NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. PT 1

    There was something about being a teacher that was interesting and fun. Standing alone in front of over twenty to thirty young minds, looking up to you as if you were the all knowing, trusting in the fact that whatever it is that comes out of your mouth as a teacher, is the truth and nothing but the truth. Expressions as different as the colors of rainbow, ranging from interest to boredom and in between, exist those who don’t even care at all and those who just stare at you blankly, minds thousands of miles away. The frustration, the boredom, and the routine of it all added to the charm of the work. And the biggest advantage of being a class room teacher is, I thought as I drive through the gate to park my Honder next to that of my wife’s Camry, the distraction the kids bring you once you stand before them. The funny naughty ones make you laugh and the brooding nasty ones make you wonder about their own problem and not yours.      Stepping into my liv...
