Poem:

A poem by Aaisha Vawda on the journey of Hifz 

It has been a dream

For as long as you can remember.
Ten years ago, you began a journey.
Tentative steps to fulfil an ambition. You strived through difficulty,
And then
As promised
The ease that followed.

Years passed

You wondered if you would ever fulfil this desire.
But you did not give up.

Each step brought you closer to the finish line…

 

Awakened a desire to turn this dream into a reality.

You heard the whispers that it’s impossible.
Not this kind of dream
And definitely not you.
You don’t deserve it.
It is only for those
Whom your Creator has Hand-Picked.
The ones who will become part of His Family.
The ones who  will be deserving of such honourable titles,
The  ones who will carry His Flawless Book
Protectors of His Noble Word

The whispers

Motivated you to work harder
To fulfil this dream.

And so you continued…

Closer and closer
To the finish line…
To discover that this journey never ends…

Now your journey begins...
