Remembrance

The oppressed
The orphans
The unfortunate loved ones
Randomly appear in my head
Do I deserve this comfort if they are still
in melancholy I said

Sometimes we put ourselves into so
much grief
Forgetting that there greater ones
seeking relief
Tonight, for you I write, what I prayed,
that I hoped for in myself
May Allah remember me too and help
me during my death

"Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west (in prayers), but (true) righteousness is (in) one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask (for help), and for freeing slaves; (and who) establishes prayer and gives zakah; (those who) fulfill their promise when they promise; and (those who) are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous."
- Surah Al-Baqarah 2:177
