Turning copper into gold became their goal
but how could they have forgotten the soul?
As long as men has been on this earth,
blood has been shed for a pinch of golds worth.
Yet, gold it is simply another stone.
And men have given less value to bone.
For this Allah kept the alchemists prize
in the hands of those who heard peoples cries.
When they turned to use its power
it was their souls that towered
Transformation
became
Transfiguration

When one stops dhikr
they have lost strength
when one stops remembering allah
they have been forgotten by the king
when one stops dua
they have just suffocated their soul
dua is freedom of the soul
remembering allah is walking with security
submission to him is indeed freedom
nice blog you have here ! inshallah will link you

Excellent and poignant poem, dear Brother
Indeed, the true alchemy is turning the copper of the heart to gold, not base metals.
Ya Haqq!
