Only A Few Days Left Of Ramadan. Speak To Allah From The Heart — Raw, Vulnerable, With No Script.

by Shaykh Hisham Abu Yusuf

Oh Allah, you are the first and there is none before you. You are the last, there is none after you. You are the only one my mind is upon and you are the only one whose pleasure I seek.

In my fires, I call out to you. In my distress, I beseech you. In my pain, I seek your healing.

In my loneliness, I seek your company. All have abandoned me but you. None can help me but you.

None I can turn to but you. I was not in existence and you were. You fed me when there was none to feed me.

You clothed me when there was none to clothe me. When I got injured, you healed me. When I healed, you strengthened me.

In my birth, I was helpless. You provided me with my parents. And today, I am strong, I am wealthy.

I have everything but I am still in need of you. Oh Allah, the times move quick and age comes fast and death comes near. But just as I was in the beginning alone with you, so too in the end, I'll be alone in my grave with you.

There is no company but you. There is no happiness but with you. There is no pleasure I seek but yours.

All sadness erases and evaporates when I think of you. Everything becomes small when I'm in your company.

Oh Allah, allow me to live in your remembrance and die in your remembrance and raise me in your remembrance.
