`Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: "I came to Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) when he was performing prayers. He was sobbing and his chest sounded like a boiling kettle." [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary: This Hadith tells us how the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) used to weep in prayer out of fear of Allah. To weep in the course of supplication and at the thought of one's appearance before Allah reflects piety.

Mother,
I missed you so much
I remembered you today
As I sat alone on your favourite chair
Thinking about my life
And where it has taken me

Your daughter has grown up
Your daughter has faced the world
You would cry if only you knew
The trials and challenges that passed me by

The turbulence and turmoil that has enveloped me
But I faced it all Alhamdulillaah
With the strength from Allaah
With the prayer you have made for me

Once upon a time
I can always feel your presence
Even in my darkest hour
I can always hear your whispers
Asking me to do the right thing

Even if that would be the most bitter of all
Even if I cannot swallow it all
This one will be over, sweetheart
It is just a phase
It will leave in a swift

So stay tight and stay strong
Focus and hang on
But when it disappears do remember
There is the next one coming
But that too, will be over
That too, will be over
