Salah, Prayer, If Only You Could Hear‏

BY Nahida

Listen …
The dignified roses
Extending out their hands
Calling you to pray
Come and join the crowd
God is The Greatest
Most Gracious, Most Kind

If Only You Could Hear 


If you can
Just sit for a moment
And listen …
To the birds
Singing songs of praise

Listen …
To the breeze
Whispering to the trees
“Would you pray with me tonight?”
“Yes, with all my heart,
Love, joy and delight”
The trees replied

Listen …
Can you hear the rhythm
Of the stone’s heartbeat?
"I love you God"
Their words with every beat

Listen …
Can you hear the silence
In the tranquil summer night
Deep … deep .. silence
Is the language of the heart

Listen …
Rain drops tap-dancing
Tip-top … drip-drop
Tiny, elegant steps
A never-ending story
Proclaiming God’s wonders
And His majestic glory


Listen …
Can you feel the serenity
And graceful prayer
Of golden wheat grains
While bowing down their heads
Giving mother earth
A great big kiss

Listen …
Can you hear the rainbow
Stretching up and down
Reaching out to heaven
Then bending like a clown
Amazing colours
Almost divine



Listen …
The dignified roses
Extending out their hands
Calling you to pray
Come and join the crowd
God is The Greatest
Most Gracious, Most Kind

Listen …
Atoms are dancing
Going round and round
Joyful in their orbits
What an awesome band
Praising their creator
Joining hand in hand


Listen …
Numbers are standing
Magnificent is the sign
Starting from the zero
Infinite is the line
Unique in their performance
United through design
Praying in adoration
Humbly kneeling down

Listen …
Galaxies are twirling
Wrapped up in cosmic light
Wearing magical dresses
Glowing through the night
All shapes colours and sizes
 amazing is the sight
Glorifying their Designer
The source of peace
And essence of delight
