Ya Allah

All my praises are for Allah, my lord the one who is always there

He knows every sinful thought but his displeasure I can’t bear

I ask each day Ya Allah please don’t let me stray

I glorify him with word and deed and not only when I pray

My sins I carry as my luggage throughout my entire life

And although sinful I am, to please Allah is for which I strive

Each day I say Ya Allah forgive me and save me from hells fire

It is you I follow and worship Ya Allah you know I’m no liar

I seek protection in you Allah because as you know I am weak

I do not wish to falter for it is pleasure in Jannah I seek

Ya Allah I ask for your help because to stray is what I fear

So I read Qur’an and pray to remember you’re always near

Ya Allah guide all my actions and make my faith strong

Please help me to know what’s right so I won’t do wrong

Ya Allah our creator who made us all from clay

Ya Allah you are the one who can make sure we won’t stray

Like all humans I’m an imperfect creature and at times I will do wrong

While I follow the road to Jannah which is difficult and long

Ya Allah you know what’s in my heart and my words you hear

And no matter what I say or do my lord Allah is always here

So all my praises are for you Allah every day and night

I will do my best to follow your rules I will with all my might

Ya Allah thanks for guiding me and thanks for this lives test

I will work so hard to follow them so I know in Jannah I will rest

Allah Knows Best

Allah knows what’s best for us
So why should we complain
We always want the sunshine
But He knows there must be rain

We always want the laughter
And the merriment of cheer
But our hearts will lose their tenderness
If we never shed a tear.

Allah tests us often
With suffering and with sorrow
He tests us not to punish us
But to help us meet tomorrow

For growing trees are strengthened
If they withstand the storm
And the sharp cut of the chisel
Gave the marble grace and form

Allah tests us often
And for every pain He gives to us
Provided we’re patient
Is followed by rich again

So whenever we feel that everything is going wrong
It is just Allah’s way
To make our spirit’s strong.

Hope is Eternal

The sun will rise tomorrow, even if it sets today
And there will always be a rainbow, even if it rains
Even if one man dies, another will be born
And you can always smell the roses, even if you've felt their thorns.

Fire can burn down buildings, but it can't burn down hope
Fog can darken heavens, but smoke is only smoke
Everything can be broken, but it can be repaired
And there will always be an ally, if there was ever one who cared.

It's small now but it will grow
It's a little thing called hope
As long as we don't let it wait
It can never be too late.

Start over, and rebuild
Over mountains, over hills
Nothing stops us
Let's begin
Have no fear for we will win.

Your Hope In My Heart

Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure 
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word 

My choicest hours
Are the hours I spend with You

O Allah, I can't live in this world
Without remembering You
