i imagine myself, sitting under the shade of palm trees,
my company is the prophets, we eat berries and sip tea
their shining eyes are on mine, as i recount my memories
i tell them of how grateful i am to have grown through their stories
i thank adam first, my father who sinned
but taught me to immediately turn my heart back to Him
i then thank nuh, the man who suffered but persisted
who preached 950 years, though his people resisted
i thank ibraheem, the khaleel, who did not break, did not bend
and through his search for truth, became known as Allah's friend
i thank ismail, the boy who put out his neck, as Allah had asked
and we celebrate his sincerity after every ramadan that we fast
i thank ya'qoob, whose sorrows turned both his eyes white
but through faith, Allah returned both his son and his sight
i thank yusuf, who was beaten and thrown in the well
but found patience even on the floor of his jail cell
i thank musa, who as a baby was put in a basket on the nile
a challenging life, but Allah guided him through each trial
i thank yunus, swallowed by a whale in the middle of a storm,
who had the humility to cry and admit when he was wrong
i thank dawud, the child who went to war, slingshot in hand
and stood up to tyranny better than any grown man
i thank suleiman, who dreamed big and asked for a kingdom like nobody else
and was allowed to hear and command the animals and jinn all by himself
i thank esa, who was born as a surprise to his mom
and while he grew and was plotted against, Allah saved him from harm
i thank muhammad, the final messenger and final prophet
whose legacy prevailed though many have tried to stop it
who suffered plenty of loss, but was never alone throughout his life
for Allah had guided him through every difficulty and every strife
and my heart swells as they ask for my story as well
their voices soothing me with each painful detail i tell
they laugh and cheer as i reach my final chapter
telling me they waited patiently in jannah for the moment i entered
and with tears in my eyes, i ask them how could this be
they say, you asked for Allah's reward, so jannah was His decree
