Dark is the poison; flow morbidly through my veins..
Dark is the rage; shred mercilessly the hypocrisy that surrounds...
Dark is the hour; approach silently with anomalous intent..
Dark is the depth; fall fiercely to damnation that awaits..
Dark is the heart and its abode..
Dark is the death and its blissful solitude..

Depressing. Amidst all the darkenss, where is the light?
asalam'alaykum farsh,
Your post reminded me of its opposite; Surah Nur (The Verse of Light)
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
The metaphor of His Light
is that of a niche
in which there is a lamp,
the lamp inside a glass,
the glass like a brilliant star,
lit from a blessed tree, an olive,
neither of the east nor of the west,
its oil all but giving off light
even if no fire touches it.
Light upon Light.
Allah guides to His Light whoever He wills
and Allah makes metaphors for mankind
and Allah has knowledge of all things.
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
Allah (swt) says, "My light is guidance." Light is the believer in whose breast Allah has put belief and the Qur'an and darkness is the "mirage" faced by the kafir.
As muslims we are guided by the true and right 'light,' that being islam. And we need to have full faith in Allah {swt}, especially when we are being tested w/ hardship.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah said, "There are four kinds of hearts: a divested heart which is like the lamp and shines; a covered heart which is tied up in its covering; an inverted heart, and a doubled heart. The divested heart is the heart of the believer which is his lamp in which is his light. The covered heart is the heart of the unbeliever. The inverted heart is the heart of the hypocrite who recognised and then denied. The doubled heart is the heart which contains both belief and hypocrisy. The likeness of belief in it is like the plant which good water extends, and the example of hypocrisy in it is like the wound which is spread by blood and pus. It is dominated by whichever of them is dominant."
which heart are we going to have? It is important to keep our faith and trust in Allah {swt} and not give up or feel lost, b/c we are never alone nor abandoned by allah {swt}.
May allah swt make your burdens lighter...
salaam,
madiha :)
