Calm before the Storm

My dear friend, standing at the precipice of uncertainty. Knowing this is the calm before the storm,not knowing what the the coming days will bring.

I wish there was something I say

That could take away the pain,

But inside I know

Just how much you stand to gain.

There is a magnificent treasure

that comes with this storm

The is always Peace

At the eye of the Storm.

Ask those of us who have walked this road

The Storm comes to clear your path

To remove the distractions

To lighten your load.

To remind you of what is important

And what is not.

To show you the blessings

The value of what you've got.

There's a sliver of excitement

That sparks in my heart.

For what you stand to gain

After this most difficult part.

You see there's a secret

Only the chosen know it's Truth.

Allah doesn't send the storm

Without carrying you through.

Seek His divine presence

When you feel heavy and worn

Know my dear sister

He is with those who's hearts are torn.

That burden you carry

Isn't yours alone to bear.

Your Lord, your protector

Is always there.

His special attention

Is on you now,

Turn your fears to prayers

You know how.

Still your mind and seek Him

The Lord of the worlds

Listen through the silence

For the message that transcends words.

Hold on to Him

He will set things right.

Hold on to Him

With all your might.

Know He will never leave you

Not even for the blink of an eye.

Know He is always with you

Especially when you cry.

To Him belongs all we own

To Him belongs our lives.

To Him belongs the decision

Of who leaves and who survives.

May He wrap you in His Mercy

And carry you through this storm.

May you never feel alone

May your heart be light and warm.

And when the day comes

As it is bound to do

May you realise the depths of favour

That Allah has showered on you.

If you look around you will realise

They new depths in your connection.

The Divine closeness of His presence

He kept you within His Eyes.

The new ways you learned to call on Him,

The new avenues in your heart that opened.

The subtle hints of His presence in life

None of this is coincidence.

It was always part of His plan

To bring you close, to earn His pleasure

For you to see the reality

That is the greatest Treasure.
