Soon shall we meet.
O Donna my sweet friend!
You miss California
The name taken from
Caesar's Calpurnia...
Well my caring buddy,
Even I miss those places,
Where love loves to linger,
Filled with God's graces.
Tonight I pray humbly,
And devoutly to Him,
Who took His Messenger,
On a Nightly Journey.
On this Night of Ascension,
My faith gets stronger,
And soon shall we meet,
Where you love to wander...
California, Niagra,
The Falls in Victoria,
Or sunny beaches,
In Seychelles and Malta...
Yes, my sweet Donna,
You stand by me all along,
With all hope in Allah,
We 'll meet in California...
Author's Remarks:
The Night of Ascension known in Arabic as Al Isra Wal Meraaj is the blessed night which is mentioned in the Glorious Al-Quran as one during which God Almighty took His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) from the Kaaba in Makkah, Saudi Arabia to the Al Aqsa Mosque (The farthest mosque) and showed the Prophet (PBUH) several of His signs. It falls on the 27th of the Islamic month of Rajabul Murrajabb.
Dedicated to my sweetest friend Donna who loves California.
