The Capable One Posted: 31 Mar 2015 05:00 AM PDT By Dua Aldasouqi Have you ever had your heart broken, chest opened reached in pulled out squeezed until you bleed? Have you ever cried for a lost one? Mother, brother, daughter, son, tummy in a knot and all you want to do is run? Have you ever struggled with the news? Murder, massacre, guns and demolition crews. It’s like a game, which tragedy do you choose? Which tyrant do you root for to lose? Can you just turn off or at least snooze? Because you just.can’t.even. So you, turn to a friend: mentor, teacher, or anyone else Because you feel absolutely hopeless You ask them: What should I do? And they say, make du'a’1 , you know pray So you’re like, yeah yeah But, no, what should I do or say? You brush it off your shoulder cuff Like du'a' just, isn’t enough You move on, not recognizing what you’ve done That you’ve left behind The truly capable One You forget – that Yahya2 was the answer to his father’s constant prayer You forget – that Yunes3 chose prayer Over despair inside the whale You forget – that Ayoub’s4 affliction was removed through du`a’ You forget – that Badr was nothing short of intervention from the heavens You forget—that power lies with Him alone That strength comes through His will That He is the Sustainer, the Maintainer, the Provider, the Protector, the Just, the Judge You forget – that He is the only capable One supplication `alayhi as-salaam—peace be upon him `alayhi as-salaam `alayhi as-salaam
