Abu Umamah Sudaiy bin Ajlan Al-Bahili (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said: "Nothing is dearer to Allah than two drops and two marks: A drop of tears shed out of fear of Allah and a drop of blood shed in Allah's way. Regarding the two marks, they are: Marks left in the Cause of Allah and a mark left in observing one of the obligatory act of worship of Allah, the Exalted". [At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary: This Hadith mentions the merits of the following:

1. Weeping out of fear of Allah.
2. The blood which flows in the way of Allah.
3. The marks of injuries which are left on the bodies of those in the performance of obligations.

It Shines for You

by Ibn Ruben Abdul Qahhar

Don't you know the sun shines for you?
Declining to ascend bring the day anew
For you to fulfill your dreams, accomplish you purest desires
If you disagree surely you're a liar

In denial that you embody beauty
Able to possess peace
First severe the hindering leash
Binding you to despair

Once you crush the shackles of hopelessness you will be aware
Of your true potential, consequential
Is this shared fate, to hate a state of emptiness that remains, innate
See the world around us that we share

The birds that sing
The babe that clings
The ants that crawl
The snow that falls

All in all we have a purpose
Find it fulfill it before you desert this
Magnanimous creation that has an appointed time
Life is precious and love is divine
