Journey Through The Skies

Journey is an experience

Boarding the plane with excitement

Warm smiles from the crews

Appreciating the ambience

Making oneself comfortable…

The pilot announces the departure

Reciting prayers

Heart felt with joy, fear and hope…

As the plane began to lift off

You began to see the vegetation and buildings on the ground

You see ships in the sea

Getting smaller and smaller

How I always wonder

How great or big someone or something is on the ground

The scene is so minute up in the skies

Allahu Akbar....

How, we human are so weak and so minute

Allah is the greatest

 As the plane passes through the clouds

You will feel the turbulences

Hoping it will soon be over ...

But, the clouds get darker

You see the lightning and hear the sound of thunder

You fear... , will it go away

Will the plane survives the harsh weather?

The feeling of Joy, Fear and Hope are always there

In the Journey through the skies...

As the clouds start to clear

Blue Skies emerge

The plane stabilizes

Your fear began to ease

You see the beauty landscape of the clouds and the blue skies

Taking various shapes

Subhannallah and praises to Allah...

The Clouds and the Blue Skies, constantly taking it shapes...
Sculpturing the skies

In accordance to the command of Allah 

But,

Even when the plane stabilizes

One could never predict what could happen...

Like the fate of the planes which failed to reach the destinations

The only hope

Allah will always protect the Journey

To be safe and sound...

As the sun comes to set

The colour of violet fills the skies

Changing the landscape towards the east

Slowly changing the day light to darkness of the night...

Reminding us the time of prayers, soon will come

To remember Allah no matter where we are...

Who are we without you, Allah

The Greatest the Al Mighty

As the plane starts to descend

The darkness filled with lights on the ground..
Fell of Joy and excitement fills the heart
The destination just miles away

But,

After the incidences of MH 370, MH17 and others

The Journey Though the Skies

Is no longer the same...

The feeling of Fear and Hope supersede the feeling of Joy

May Allah will always protect and bless us

And keep us safe every time, everywhere

Whenever, wherever we are in Journey

Whether the Skies, Seas and Grounds
Thank you Allah for the protection in this Journey in Life
