A Change



What is this change inside of me?
Something I perceive but I cannot see
Closer to Him, have I become?
An infliction occurs, my emotions are numb

A few months ago, this wasn't the case
I'd get upset, angry & then start to pace
But now I smile & say praise be to God
So in love with this path I have trod

I can only deduce it's a change in my soul
Feeling happy because this is my goal
All I need to do is play my part
The rest? Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) puts ease in my heart


It's been proven many times, I speak not in jest
That the plans of Allah are always the best
No matter what happens, in Him I will trust
Happy with my Lord, until I am dust

Salman Al-Farsi (radiAllahu anhu)

Of Persian nobility, a beloved son My father being a devotee Zoroastrian I heard the call to follow true deen  I escaped from this city, for I was so keen I spent decades travelling from land to land Searching for scholars who had the true brand Christianity was dying, not many were left The plan of Allah is so beautifully deft From the Arabs a prophet shall make waves I headed down south but was made a slave Found myself in Yathrib, owned by the Jews Years in this state but then there was news A man declared a prophet was on his way Fleeing from Makkah, he’ll be here any day I knew the signs & put the prophet ﷺ to the test His call was true, shall I tell you the rest?
