Chosen

The following poem was written by a revert sister of Islam. She accepted Islam two years ago and is studying with me, presently.

I counted the day by tears,

Never by the smiles.

I counted the sky by clouds,

Never by the stars.

I counted gardens by the fallen leaf,

Never by the blooming flower.

I measured life through the misery of darkness,

I never had a mission in my life,

Before you guided me towards my goal.

I never knew the principle of nature

Until I stepped into the world of Muslims.

If  I ever had missed the opportunity of becoming a Muslim,

I never would have known the beauty of Islam.

If You had not chosen me to be your slave.

I would have died in the state of kafirun.
