O Allah!
Only You Who Understand
The tugging of emotion we feel
As Muslim women and mothers
O Allah!
Only You Who Know
The tingling sense of guilt we bear
In leaving our children
To be tended by others and their care
O Allah!
It is therefore to You Who understand
That we seek great support
To give us the continued sense of istiqamah
In our quest for Your Mardhatillah
Because we know
We have to change this sense of nafsi-nafsi
To that for the sake of the Muslim community
To change that want of tarbiyah for our own children
To that for the children of our Muslim sisters and brothers
To change that sense of guilt
To that of tawakkal that You will be the best of all teachers
Blessing our children and family
With Your greatest Compassion and loving Mercy
O Allah!
Give us the strength
To be the best wives to our husbands
The best mothers to our children
The best children to our parents
The best sisters to our fellow sisters and brothers
And of all of these bests
O Almighty Allah
Let us be the best abd to You
So that in whatever we do and in whatever position we are placed
Let You be the source we derive
Our determination, perseverance and sense of solace
