Peace, one and all…
As I see it unfolding at present, the Path is about becoming an authentic human being, through escaping habitual, unthought behaviours. These poems document some of my recent thoughts in this area. May God make them useful and may He accept them as worship, for His blessed sake alone.

Peace, one and all…
As the end of 2006 is almost upon us, I thought I’d go back through some of the poems that haven’t made it into cyberspace and work a few of them up for your viewing pleasure.
Enjoy and may Allah accept them from me as worship for His sake; and may He use [...]
Peace, one and all…
Ahlan wa sahlan and welcome to The Corner Reloaded, Abdur Rahman’s poetry blog. These are my most recent poems and as the title suggests, they were written on Christmas morning, as I was helping my mother burn some wood and paper.
Enjoy, and may God make them beneficial and accept them as woship [...]
Peace, one and all…
Here are some of my latest offerings. As usual, they were written on the train. I’m currently working on something a bit longer than usual and so until it’s finished, I’ll be posting only short poems. So, enjoy…
Ya Allah! Help me, heal me and lead me home once more.
Movement is Hope

Peace, one and all…
This evening’s offerings were written on the way to work yesterday, as I was looking out of the window. I find such times particularly inspiring. Looking at God’s green earth is inspiring and also, perhaps most importantly, it’s a time of the day when I’m not really focusing on other things.
Anyway, I [...]
Peace, one and all…
I recently received a very moving comment which has prompted me to re-post a few older poems on the theme of God’s Love. Ya Allah! Ya Wadud! Ya Rahman! Help me and indeed, all of us.
Compassion
‘You were sent here only to learn and spread compassion.
Either you become compassionate,
or else you stand in [...]
Peace, one and all…
Here are two of my most recent poems, written on the train this evening. They’re both on very similar themes, something which I find often happens, as though each train journey travels through some different atmosphere. In any case, I hope that you enjoy these offerings: may they be of some benefit. [...]

Welcome to The Corner Reloaded, Abdur Rahman’s poetry blog. These poems were written yesterday, whilst I was at home. Enjoy!
Ya Allah! Forgive me, heal me and help me become whole.
Learning to Dance
We stand still,
afraid of the dance,
afraid of life’s rhythm.
Thus, we drift in silence,
floating without direction,
living without meaning.
And, wehn we come together,
we [...]
Peace, one and all…
I wrote this poem on the way home this evening. Al hamdu lillah, it encapsulates some of my recent thoughts on developing Presence, that sense of being in the moment (as opposed to mere habitual existence). Enjoy.
Ya Allah! Guide me into Your Presence. Let me live all the days of my life in [...]
Peace, one and all…
Welcome to The Corner Reloaded, Abdur Rahman’s little corner of cyberspace! Welcome to my internet home. Please make yourself comfortable. Ahlan wa sahlan, as the Arabs say… ‘Welcome, take your ease. You are amongst family…’
I wrote these poems yesterday evening, as night fell. They were inspired by the beauty of the night [...]
