Standing in lonely darkness of my shadow,
I catch a glimpse of the light in front of me.
Should I move towards it?
Can I move away from my shadow?
I want to start a new life in the light,
But my shadow keeps stalking me,
Taking over my mind and body.
How do I break away from my shadow?
How do I liberate myself from this darkness?

I am lost and anxious
I need the light to rescue me
I remember the light,
Before the darkness took over me,
Its tender compassionate touch
Its warmth, touching my heart
But now the darkness won’t leave me
I want to be with the light
I just want to be under Allah’s light.


‘In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe, and enough shadows for those who don't.’
