Oh Allah! I Told You

Oh Allah! I told You I'm in pain

You said: "Do not despair of the mercy of Allah." (Al-Qur'an 39:53)

I told You nobody knows what is in my heart

You said: "Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." (Al-Qur'an 13:28)

I told You many people hurt me

You said: "So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them." (Al-Qur'an 3:159)

I told You I feel I'm alone

You said: "We are closer to him than (his) jugular vein." (Al-Qur'an 50:16)

I told You my sins are so many

You said: "And who can forgive sins except Allah?" (Al-Qur'an 3:135)

I told You do not leave me

You said: "So remember Me; I will remember you." (Al-Qur'an 2:152)

I told You I'm facing a lot of difficulties in life

You said: "And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out." (Al-Qur'an 65:2)

I told You oh Lord! I need hope

You said: "Indeed, with hardship (will be) ease." (Al-Qur'an 94:6)

I told You I have many dreams

You said: "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." (Al-Qur'an 40:60)

I told You to give me just little but for sure, Oh my Rabb! You Are The Best, you gave me everything... Alhamdulillaah.. And now may I, Oh Allah, be among those who have succeeded... Aameen!

I recited this poem for a competition in my school a year ago. It wasn't mine, it was one of the options the reciters was given. Unfortunately, the poem writer's name wasn't told. Anyway, alhamdulillaah, I finished being the first in the competition.

But after all, it's not what I cared and care the most. I chose this poem rather than another as the poem's theme is really good. It makes me realize how I am nothing without my Lord, without Allah SWT.

Allahuakbar!
