“Me” In Islam Part 1

My gown is a symbol of beauty and the essence of self respect

My walk dignifies poise,  direction and the mystery none can detect

 

I carry myself with modesty and tranquility unlike any other woman on this earth

I speak as a lady should, in a small voice with eloquence enveloping each verse

 

My limbs submit to Allah’s will in every movement with every silent motion

My heart is purified by The Holy Qur’an, Dhikr and my prayer’s devotion

 

I represent the meaning of moral boundaries, as doubt dictates my red light

I am motivated by religion, with knowledge in my left hand and the truth in my right

 

My role is servant, daughter, sister, aunt,  wife, mother, teacher and friend

My dedication makes encompassing the former a success..and when I begin to weaken I know on Him I can depend

 

I personify piety, with my gaze lowered and the beauty of me a secret

I will be known only by one man, and remain a chaste lady until I reach HIS lofty throne. As for the secret, THAT ONE MAN WILL KEEP IT! 

 

My purpose is to attain lawful companionship, education and the best of manners

My goal is to return pure and meek, leaving behind my Islamic legacy and banner.
