Gardens of Paradise

Gardens of Paradise- OFTO poetry

It takes patience.

It takes sacrifice.

It takes determination.

It takes compromise.

It takes sincerity.

It takes good advice.

It takes Mercy from The One

To gain the Gardens of Paradise.

Choose you path now

Invest in your afterlife.

Live, die, do, don’t do

For The One Most High.

Pain and poverty

Illnesses in body and mind

Built through adversity,

To win the Gardens of Paradise.

Tested with fear and hunger

Tested with loss of lives

Be patience despite the decrease

To earn the Gardens of Paradise.

Gardens of greenery, like the eye has never seen.

Happiness and prosperity and Ever-Lasting Eternity.

A gift from The One Allah, The Ever-Living Creator of all humanity.

The Lord of all creation, The Uncreated One True God for all, you and me.

I choose the Gardens of Paradise,

Better than this ephemeral world of misery.

I dream of heavenly palaces adorned with pearls and gems,

Complete with gold, silver, sapphire and rubies.

And the gift of gazing upon The Countenance of The One with Ever-Lasting Majesty…

Allah.

It is You that I long for.

It is You to Whom I truly belong.

Everything will perish save You,

Oh Allah, You are The Eternal, Self-Existing, Self-Sufficient One.

You are The Most Benevolent, The Most Kind, The Oft-Pardoning, The Loving, The Wise,

My ardent appeal to You, please bestow upon me Your Favour and the Gardens of Paradise.
