Marriage

Marriage
Ali (as) and Fatima (sa)

By: Sister Fiddha

Your beautiful forms united in marriage

And your hearts praised Allah as you gazed at each other

No passion

Just pure longing for Your Lord

Together bringing each other closer

To the goal of Your desires.

They killed youAnd massacred your family

Your pure blood spilled in Kerbala

The belated wedding gift of the Ummah

Your sweet faces Etched in our hearts

Though we have never seen you

Our hearts are inclined towards you both

And as lovers gaze at each other

Thoughts of Ali and Zahra appear in our hearts

Pure bliss

Opressed and tainted by the vultures that

Surrounded you

waiting for The Prophet saw to go

So they could attack.

Ali and Zahra Our two precious jewels

A light suffocated by the hands of the tyrants

What eye remains dry when seeing two lovers sigh in happiness

The thoughts of your misery comes in my mind.

Paradise is your bed

The Prophet of God your priest

Allah swt your witness

And we the congregation gathered in paradise

To partake in the joy which you were denied on earth.
