Reborn

 

They asked me why I changed my hair and got rid of all my old clothes.
As I tie the strings to my silk dress, I smile and say I’m being reborn again.
I want to be the kind of art that he looks at and is instantly
reminded of faith.
I want the roots in my hair and the pieces of my heart to grow so fond of Allah that anytime he lays his eyes on me, he sees how intertwined I am with my God.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

I desire to live my life through the lens of my beloved Prophet.

To inhale his fragrance and confront every hardship with his truth and beauty.

I want every cell of my body to encapsulate his grace.

I will uncover each and every sunnah until the shards of my heart radiate his noor.

And when I love again, I will love like him.
