*‘Verily with hardship there is relief.’ *(94:6)
‘Isn’t it in Allah’s remembrance that hearts find peace and tranquility?’ (13:28)
The Promise
There’s a promise in our sorrow
and a blessing when we sigh.
There’s a light beyond the shadows
and a cleansing when we cry
So when we are discouraged,
and face tremendous grief;
it is during those times of trouble,
that the heavens send relief.
With our heart in tune with Allah
our source of joy and peace,
be mindful of His promise,
that all suffering He would cease
He hears our cries of sadness
He’s felt our every pain,
He’s listens to our sighness
All glory to His name
Just yaqeen with HIS promise
As He whispers to be still,
for there is joy and comfort
Beyond the unexpected veil
So if the sky should darken
and if the earth should quake
remember life has struggles
On the journey that we take
The aftermath of sorrow
is beauty and pure light,
if we can fight the battle
and pray with soul and might.
He sent us rainbow colors
to follow cleansing rain,
He showed us there are miracles
that come with all the pain.
Seek forbearance in the hardships,
or when we fear or roam.
Cast your burdens on the Savior,
and He’ll come and take us home.
For He is our great Redeemer
our only true best friend,
He promised he would never leave
He’ll guide us to the end*
