Am I truly grateful for each breath that I take,
For each and every moment that I am awake?
Do I thank Allah for my
restful sleep,
And for the dreams that cause me to weep?
Am I
honestly thankful to the Almighty One,
For the early morning mist, the
bright, rising sun?
During Fajr prayer, I use my soft prayer mat,
As
Allah’s servant, do I appreciate that?
Throughout the day, do I realize,
That Allah, All knowing and the Most Wise,
Gives me what I need and so
much more
And that I have so much to be grateful for?
The scent of
fresh rain, a small child’s laugh,
My sisters who choose to stand for Islam,
Each piece of fruit, each glass of water,
Brothers protecting their sons
and their daughters.
A grandmother’s love, a book of hadith,
The
clothes that I wear, the food that I eat.
The book that I should follow, the
Holy Quran,
Promoting the good and ending the wrong.
So I must ask
myself every beautiful day,
Am I truly grateful for each breath that I take,
For each and every moment that I am awake?
Do I thank Allah for my
restful sleep,
And for the dreams that cause me to weep?
