SBTP: A poem from Hope Journey

Sharing a poem a month from our poetry book collection.

This month we will be sharing a poem from Hope Journey.

and the story behind it.

A poem that came from my darkest moment.

I never thought I would get through that period alive. Maybe that is too dramatic. I never thought that at the end of the day, I would actually get through it and able to come out of it in a sane way.

It took a lot of self reflection. LOTS of it.

Of course, always seeking and going back to Allah. We cannot do it on our own. Not possible. We can do it only with Allah.

So the last line is very important to me. A reminder that we can have a lot of problems, worries and anxieties but we also have Allah.
