Straight Path

Straight Path We all start off somewhere On a path, maybe not so good, Sometimes we don’t understand Or see life in ways we should. This life is full of hardships Temptation is all around, A lost feeling overcomes you Only yearning to be found. Searching for something up and down Forgetting to look inside, You realize that you’ve been wrong You turn to Allah and cry. See, some of us are lucky We’re put on a path that’s straight, We try so hard to please Allah Our only savior, who’s so great. We have a certain way of life Which is better than the rest, We strive to achieve a wonderful goal Paradise- Life which comes next. To prove our worth in faith We are given so many trials, I think the one who is the best Is he who thanks Allah and smiles. This life is nothing but a test A short visit, a temporary stay, Enjoining good, forbidding bad Thanking Allah for everyday. Each day, a chance to earn good deeds Erasing the wrongs of our past, Preparing for something better The next life which will forever last. I’m still thanking Allah each moment For helping me find my way, For leading me on a path that’s right From the one that was so astray. Everyday more grateful That the one that past before, Heading to an amazing place Excited to see what’s in store. So try your best to obey Allah In the hereafter you will see, The gardens of paradise is ever lasting Allah willing, that’s where I’ll be.
