يا ودود
Ya Wadoud
Dear Most Loving
Here I am
Wandering in the wilderness
Cold… soaking… frightened… lonely… lost
Dripping pain and sorrow
Arriving
Knocking at your door
Humbly kneeling down
Hands upraised
Face hidden with tears
Requesting of Your generosity
Appealing of Your kindness
Pleading of Your mercy
Shroud me with Your bliss
Wrap me up with Your pleasure
Shower me with Your blessings
Make no desire in my heart
Greater than being with You
No aspiration dearer
Than the bounty of Your love
Make me a mouthpiece of Your truth
A fingerprint of Your creativity
An ambassador of Your reality
Make me a pathway of Your certainty
A sign of Your authenticity
A whisper of Your inspiration
Make me a fountain of kindness
A lantern of guidance
A waterfall of honesty
A cascade of delight
Make me a footstep
Leading to Your splendour
Make me a pail
Pouring out love
Watching all content
Make me a lamp
Glowing with tenderness and warmth
Until none is lost in darkness or despair
Make me a cloud
Full of goodness
Raining joy
Planting affection
Flowering passion
Blooming compassion
Fruiting closeness
Picking intimacy
Feeding ecstasy and reunion
Watching all fulfilled
Living whole… serene and satisfied
Dear Most Loving
It’s only through knowing You
Can distressed hearts
Find tranquillity and peace
The wise have said:
“ if you love a thing so much, it will reveal its secrets to you”
Dear Most Loving
Here I am
An empty vessel
Lift me… Fill me… Use me
As You wish
My will is nothing
But Yours
Dear Most Loving
I am walking towards you
Your promise is true
Come running towards me
Hold me… embrace me
I am all Yours

Poetry for Palestine 
This poem is so beautiful ,Nahida. In todays world of contention, suffering of the poor and disenfranchised we are called to rise above our pains and anguish to call upon Allah for guidance through the many storms of our lives. Reading such poetry inspires us to be the remnant of Allah’s loving graces in humanity and protect that wondrous love that cannot hate.
I rise up with my dearest Nahida to proclaim our oneness in Allah;s gaze, rise up to see the wonders of overcoming adversity and shouting the hallelujahs of Allah’s grace and inspirations . We rise together as one spirit fro what Allah has brought together, let none divide asunder, I love you forever dearest Nahida!!!!!!!

When I read such poems. Of the people of the Middle East Muslim Faith. It mystifies me how those of the Christian West’s counter part. Can distrust and hate them so much.
May God (Allah) bless and protect them.

Hey Schlomo, clearly this woman possesses a spirituality that is light years above and beyond anything you could ever wish to feel. Typical, of your kind – drenched in hatred for humanity, materialism, etc., all wrapped up in the sick, psychopathic religion known as Judaism. At the very root of it people like you are jealous because you will never understand what it feels like to be loved have a real relationship with the divine, rather than your own pathetic, childish, immature consciousness that dwells within your “holy” books of jewish supremacy and “Yahweh’s” genocidal commandments. And if you are not a jew, then you must be your average Western white/gentile jew-worshipper.

i was born an Atheist, this piece of work is deeply touching and Moving ~ since i’m not a transitory /mind /matter /heaven/ hereafter/ kind of person. There is no calling from some invisible power, just what my reason and senses understand. What i took away from this was a sweet harmonic convergence of photo’s to the human words… where i began so see a pattern, in sumation, i felt the pictures completed the concept of the Empathy Gene, that conversation of child and self, caring teaching, self empowerment, self actuating, guiding, enriching, apprciating in so many ways…
i didn’t feel it proclaimed any god as the right god, leaving me lots of commfy room. i enjoyed reading it several times, Thank you

If I were God (God forbid!), I would reply:
Why do you need to beg Me for what I gave you for free a long time ago and you allowed to be stolen away from you?
Why do you keep bothering me with your vain prayers when you refuse to do the work I put you on Earth and in this life to carry out for your own good?
Why do you hide behind faith that is rarely put into practice?
Why do you refuse to show courage and are always afraid of making sacrifices?
Why do you refuse to love your neighbour as yourself?
You are not walking towards me but always away from me and always towards Satan?
Is this true or not?
Will you call Me a Liar?

P.S. I saw a pseudonym above claiming he was “born an Atheist”, CAN HE PROVE THAT?

I thank God every day and many times a day, hundreds of times, for all His Bounties. I know as I have witnessed it that all the good comes from Him and the bad from our own actions.
For the good that God has done for me personally I am always thankful.

Six years later, readers here and the world over have still not understood that God will never change a people unless they first CHANGE THEMSELVES! Blind faith rarely produces miracles. Most Muslims are fanatics, ignoramuses, hypocrites, and will never learn anything about God! They are rituaist, cultural, nationalist, tribal, racist, sectarian Muslims only by name, and hardly put Islam into practice.
PALESTINE WAS CONQUERED BY THE BRITISH BECAUSE OF THE DECADENCE OF MUSLIMS AND THE OTTOMANS! AND SOLD TO THE BARON OF ROTHSCHILD WITH THE COMPLICITY OF SAUDIYAAT, ISRAILIYAAT, AND MOST OF THE COLONISED MUSIMS!
I have known Arafat to be a traitor, an ignoramus, and sold out to Aparteid Israel!
But, I waste my time casting pearls before swine!
