Storm, Pirates and Me...

  I am swimming as fast as i could, trying to get far  away as possible from the shore i have landed on,  filled with greed, jealousy,possessiveness and such unhealthy plants rooted on it.I am swimming as fast as i could to get back to Him The Greatest who has provided me the will and the energy.I am swimming  as fast as i could because i am home-sick,i  want to go to my final destination.But before all this i have to survive the storm!
Many times i get pulled back by the currents of my own dreams and wishes. Wake up! Wake up! I urge myself trying to remain focused. Whether i continue to swim or not, i am on my own with no friend or kin to lend a hand. I am tired but the merciless time and tide continues to wear me out. But the worst is the bolts of attachment. The bright light of lightning in the dark seems to be a ray of hope but it's knowledge that will reveal you its true nature. People are like lighting, they seem to brighten things up; some just come and go whilst some leave a scar  and whilst some have the power to destroy you. To be fooled by it and swim towards it or away from it is a choice to be made by you. And i swam away.
Hoping against hope i looked beyond; i could see the horizon where lies the place where i truly belong.It's a place with neither oppression or depression because it is ruled by Ahad -The One filled with justice and mercy. But before i could get there i have to survive the storm,i say a silent prayer with my anchored Imaan-Belief that soon shall be my time of relief.
Drops of water gets added to the ocean as tears ran down my cheeks at the sight of the ship heading towards me. In it i could see people happily laughing and enjoying themselves paying no heed to the storm; my struggle would soon cease i thought. It wasn't long before i noticed that the ship was actually heading away from the horizon and that's when i noticed the flag of the pirates. Gambling, Stealing, adultery,killing, alcohol and nothing but  pure corruption. It seems very inviting just like the heaven. But it's knowledge that will unveil the hell in disguise.The pirates are like the Satan that holds the ignorant by spells of falsehood making people oblivious of the ranging storm carefully guiding them away from the eternal happiness using worldly desires as a bait.While the flag is the Furqan-distinction between truth and falsehood; the guiding book sent down by Him to lead us home. To get on the ship or not is a choice to be made by you. And i swam away.
No matter how much i struggle the horizon never seems to near. All of a sudden everything appears to be a  fairy-tale made by age old people; swirled with the cyclone of confusion i quit. I drowned effortlessly.Down i went as i watched the beautiful fishes and corals moving swiftly not affected by the storm nor having any difficulty to breath.Subhanalla..why did i quit i asked myself with regret.The storm has ceased with the blink of an eye, I'm a loser i labelled myself allowing myself  to dissolve away.

I can't remember what happened but when i  woke i saw something that no eye has ever seen,no ear has ever heard and no human heart has ever perceived.I can't believe I made it, Our Raab really does not give up on us even if we give up on ourselves. But keep striving so you can enjoy the eternal bliss feeling more deserving!
