We try our best
Khadija on Sat Oct 24, 2009 8:29 pm
Assalamou aleikoum wa rahmatoullah wa barakatou
here is a little something that came into my mind while I was washing up (not my favourite chore but it had to be done
) and this time, I did not wait , I just sat at my PC and did not get up until it was finished... too many thoughts I have let go because I did not write them on the spot (thinking I would remember later...). Anyway, this is a nasheed, I had the tune in my head but of course now it is gone but I still have the words :

We try our best
We try our best
and in Allah's hands
lies the rest.
We try our best
and in Allah's hands
lies our test
Oh don't you know my brother
it was written years yonder,
whether you turned left or right
it was your fate alright.
Do not regret and do not say ''if''
for regret and sorrow bring grief
but nothing would have change the course
of your life, so have no remorse.
We try our best
and in Allah's hands
lies the rest.
We try our best
and in Allah's hands
lies our request
Oh don't you see my sister
do not say you were dealt a life unfair,
of happiness you are not bereft
look for it in the will you have got left
No actions or words said
would have change your fate
so, be patient and be grateful
do not become bitter and hateful
We try our best
and in Allah's hands lies the rest
We try our best
and in Allah's hands lies our test.

I love it! MashaAllah!
It's got a very important message, SubhanAllah. Jazaki Allah for sharing :DIt's also very musical (I know you said it is a nasheed). I have a tune in my head now and I think it's going to be stuck there for a while....My only wish though is that I knew what tune you had it for

As Salamu Alaikum
I love it sister Khadi. It's so inspiring. Sometimes we forget we have no control of things.
I really needed this reminder and it came at the right time.
I hope you share more of your beautiful thoughts with us.
