‘Eid / What Are Feet For?

What are feet for
but to go around the Ka’ba?

What are eyes for
but to look upon God’s House?

What are lips for
but to kiss the Black Stone?

What are hands for
but to supplicate our Lord?

What’s the heart for
but to open to His Light?

12/27/95 (from Mecca-Medina Timewarp, published in Sparrow on the Prophet’s Tomb)

wa ‘alaikum as-salaama

Well, thank you for the thought… it seems wordpress has perfected things a bit, and the ‘Eid poem audio did as you suggest… but please send any tips along to make things better… (and do you mean “question” or “answer”!)

jazakallah…

salams, Brother

I found your site through the wordpress forums– may Allah give you tawfiq and accept and increase your works. Could you please sent me an email so I can send you a question about setting up audio files on your blog? Just a quick question about how to set it up so the viewer isn’t dragged away to the player page but can keep seeing your page as he listens…as you have done for your Dec. 9 entry “Eid Poem…”

  July 07, 2013 at 8:18 pmOk fellas, the very fact that this film has rveeiced a low score that truly may make my blood boil! In case you can not appreciate a touching film that Totally free Willy three: The Rescue, I might like to see anything you see. This movie definitely touched me, and the other two from the trilogy. I admit, this movie can not be as fantastic as the other two, and that is why I’m only giving it a 9 out 10, but is nonetheless pretty the masterpiece. It much better than any of such films on bullshit other animals, such as air or shoot MVP! These movies are rubbish and have absolutely nothing to Totally free Willy. Free of charge Willy 3: The Rescue, and will often possess a special position in my coronary heart. I grew up with this trilogy and are very dear to my soul. In case you are a parent and you would like your child to check out quality films in executing so, I suggest you rent Cost-free Willy three. This film has no violence or whatever that can warp the head of your child growing crack being a criminal’s head, beating, and that is what most movies are likely to these days. No, this film will inspire your child to complete great in his everyday living, that will make your child enjoy the beauty of animal everyday living. In case you have not observed this movie, I recommend watching it as shortly as possible. It can be aimed at people today of all ages.

My man. Again, how erudite. These words echo heavily upon me as I reflect on my own Tawwaf this summer. May Allah continue to inspire you to greater and greater illuminations! Amin and Eid Mubarik.
