In His holy name,Allah
Whenever you have to suffer moments in which
difficulties sink you more painful than ever;
when the huge Earth gets too small for you
and even the sky closes his ways to you
and hope approaches to the bitterness of hopelessness
then utter Faraj Prayer in your loneliness!
Believe me, there will be an inauguaration in your life...
As you find Allah the only companion
and on worldly difficulties, you whisper His holy name
Resorting to Him and His best servants:
"Ya Mohammado Ya Ali;
Ya Alio Ya Mohammad"
And you know that they will suffice you;
Reminding yourself of your Moula
who is around; somewhere near
and you call him: "Ya Saheb Zaman"
While tears of soaring fill your eyes
and how beautiful is the purity of rainy eyes!
Utter Faraj Prayer!
There will be a Faraj and inauguration in your life...

Hello fellow Shiite!
Your writing shows honesty. Thank you for sharing this. I was just about to go pray Fajr!
Congratulations on winning the trophy! Well deserved

Firm faith
My Dear Friend!
This wondeful poem under the title "Utter Fajr Prayer" reflects not only the firmness of you belief in Almighty Allah and the Holy Great Fourteens (i.e. Cheharda Ma'soomeen), but also reveals how significant religious beliefs are in your eyes.
One suggestion i.e. though the actual words like Fajr and Maula are necessary to write down the inner thoughtfullness, yet their english substitutes are also very important to convey non-Muslims our views and beliefs, because they seldom understand that Fajr Prayer means MORNING PRAYERS, MOULA STANDS FOR THE LORD AND Sahib-e-Zamann is our long-awaited 12th spiritual lord, who will purefy the world fromm all evils and destruction in the company of Jesus Christ.
Best Regards........ Mujtaba Haider Zaidi

I loved the pace, but you're gonna have to educate me on "Moula." Not my religion, but it doesn't matter who's right about supreme beings. What we do is what matters. Perhaps I've had my inauguration.

hello my lovely sister
This is a beautiful piece for faraj. It deserved the gold trophy.
Love you

As always your poetry is lovely. You have a unique way of coining words and combining words to give a special flavor to each line. But, not being Muslim, I do not understand some of the allusions. What is a Faraj Prayer? A moula? The Farsi lines belong in the poem; but, I would want to know what they mean. The poem is beautiful in its language as only Massy can make it. It deserves the gold trophy!!

Wonderfully written!
This is so beautiful... but then again, you have always had a special way with words! Hope all is well at school! Auntie

Excellent!
Exactly, when things go dark and all goes tough, It is through the supplications that one realises the presence God and His means for help. This is the simplest way to regain the lost courage or maintain it at the time difficult. Thanks for giving this poem as an entry in my contest. It seems I was looking for this poem only.
