In Loving Memory of My Mother (Raḥimahā Allāh) by Shaykh Mohammed Badat
With patience, you carried me close to your chest,
With love, you nurtured and gave me your best.
With prayers, you guarded through night and through day,
With faith, you gently showed me the way.
Your hands were soft, yet steady and strong,
Your heart a lantern that guided along.
Each word you spoke was a lesson divine,
Each smile a mercy, a gift, and a sign.
Though now you rest with your Lord above,
You left me treasures of faith and of love.
Your light still glows, though the world feels apart,
Forever alive in the depths of my heart.
I pray Allāh grants you gardens of rest,
Forgives all your trials, and counts you as blessed.
In Firdaws al-Aʿlā may your soul reside,
Until, dearest mother, I’m there by your side.
