HER CHANGE OF HEART
She used to hate waking up early
As staying up late makes her feel sleepy
But no not today as her eyes open
She praises Allah, makes wudu and starts praying.
She used to feel gloomy about life
Unmindful of friends that pass her by
But now, she smiles a lot to people she meets
Because it is both a sadaqa and sunnah of the Prophet (s.a.w).
In the past, listening to music was what kept her going
Like Goo goo Dolls' Iris and Lifehouse' Everything
But it's been months now that she got rid of the habit
She now can't get enough of Islamic Lectures, Ayats and Ahadith.
If yesterday, she got a shopping list to fulfill
Today she intends to secretly help the poor
If yesterday, she wanted a new phone or a new dress
Today she only wants to purify her heart's desires.
She's easily angry at the littlest of things
Hot tempered and full of complaints
But now she keeps on thanking Allah for her blessings
With positive thinking, patience and understanding.
Sometime in her past she takes the hijab lightly
Wearing tight clothes and not covering herself properly
But this day she decides to heed Allah's command
Knowing that hijab is a protection for a woman.
Her dreams once upon a time were all for the Dunya
She was still clueless then of the beauty of Jannah
But tonight she will evaluate her eeman before going to sleep
As her new found vision is to pass the Day of Judgment.
She used to neglect her prayers and never fasts
Enjoyment with friends was what she focused at
But starting today she will pray five times a day
And fasts well on the month of Ramadhan.
Harry Potter and all other fiction love novels
Were the books that she got herself hooked
But now she always recites the Holy Qur'an
And feels a new sense of serenity, lost and found.
If in the past, her tongue used to curse and backbite
Now she avoids hearing gossips and engaging in any vice
Instead you'll find her constantly supplicating
Doing dhikr, spending time wisely like du'a memorizing.
Yesterday, she was in love with an unworthy person
Today she's completely devoted in becoming a better person
A person who after Allah has changed and guided
Will do what she must to be saved from HIS punishment.
She is different now more than ever
What have caused that you may have wondered
Allah's Mercy on her is the answer to that
But of course, it all begins with a self-start.
Her change of heart makes her the happiest woman alive
Her change of heart gives her the real purpose of her life
Her change of heart led her to Islam
The correct way of life for all mankind.
*Ameen. May Allah guide every woman to the Straight Path towards HIM, the only path to total peace and happiness. Allahu akbar!
