Allah Is Enough For Me

by Zain Bhikha


(the story of Prophet Yusuf)

When he was placed in the well
or locked in the dungeon
betrayed by his own flesh and blood
convicted of what he did not
handsome Yusuf sighed
Allah is enough for me!

Taken in as a slave
made to work night and day
resisting all temptation
Allah is enough for me!

Until the king had a dream
Many hard years had gone by
patience and repentance
Allah is enough for me!

Till...the fortunate day
there he sees his father
in the land of content
Allah is enough for me!
Handsome Yusuf cried
Allah is enough for me!

Every night brings a new day
Allah alleviates all pain
Everything has its end
Allah is enough for me!
Everything has its end
Allah is enough for me!
Allah is enough for me!

I have 1001 stories that no one knows of me. Not my family, not my friends, sometimes not even me! Times like this, I just can't open up to anyone for the fear of being judged. And I'll say, "Allah is enough for me".

It's a stage where everything I do, feels so out of place. Everything hurts, and the pain is unbelievably new. I had to keep on telling myself that, "Allah is enough for me" but things are far more complicated than what I thought they were.

It's conflicting my attitude. My behavior. My thinking.

Where did I go wrong?

I need to run away from this confusion and get back to the REAL reality. Am I ready? Am I actually prepared if I were to leave tomorrow?

And what if I wake up in the morning, only with what I thanked Allah of what I have today?
"Allah is enough or me".
