A Life Aligned To Fitrah: The Divine Purpose Poem by Mohammad Younus

A life aligned to fitrah: the divine purpose,
If you can find joy in every season—
in the biting chill of winter, the soft bloom of spring,
the blazing warmth of summer, and the golden glow of autumn—
you will become a beacon of peace,
guiding others through life's trials with quiet strength.

If you can stand tall against storms,
sailing steadfast in life's turbulent seas,
anchored by unshakable faith in divine providence,
you will never fall to despair,
never succumb to a life devoid of meaning.

But beware the peril of abandoning your higher ideals,
of surrendering to the chaos of illusions
and the weight of an impractical, disconnected life.
Success in living a life of true peace
demands you cling to your God-given fitrah—
that pure, innate essence bestowed at your creation.
Believe, despite the odds, that freedom awaits,
freedom from the shackles of illusion and superstition.

We are all alive, yet so many of us
wander without purpose, without knowing why or for what.
We seek happiness in fleeting shadows,
in the endless chase of desires that leave us hollow.

But to find what we truly seek,
we must return to our fitrah—
the compass of our soul,
the harmony written into our being.

Only then can we align with the divine flow,
embracing life as it is meant to be:
peaceful, resilient,
a journey of trust and joy
through every season of existence.
