Al-Zahra

Muhammad’s daughter danced through the night, skirts smoothly swirling with her moving. Cool colors coalescing under moonlight, iridescent eyes sweetly soothing. Many who sought her had pedigree. All whom Prophet Muhammad rebuked awaiting sign of her destiny, silent suitor of proper repute. Ali sold his shield to pay the mahr. She danced her way into history. She earned her place, proved the Shining Star, in doing so, fated her family. Muhammad’s daughter danced through the night, skirts smoothly swirling with her moving. Cool colors coalescing under moonlight, iridescent eyes sweetly soothing. Allahu Akbar.
