Poem: Lowering Your Gaze

Spread the Light

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

In the depths of devotion, let me portray,
A poem on lowering the gaze, guiding our way.
In the path of righteousness, a virtue so dear,
A practice of modesty, crystal clear.

Imagine a sunset, painting the sky,
A masterpiece of colors, captivating the eye.
But to lower the gaze is to turn away,
Respecting boundaries, choosing a righteous way.

Picture a forest, with trees tall and grand,
Their branches intertwined, a unified band.
To lower the gaze is to guard one’s sight,
Preserving purity, in Allah’s light.

Like a river flowing, steady and calm,
Lowering the gaze brings peace, like a balm.
Respecting others, their dignity we hold,
A virtue of Islam, more precious than gold.

Imagine a mirror, reflecting our reflection,
To lower the gaze is to avoid temptation.
For modesty blossoms, within our soul,
A shield against sin, making us whole.

Picture a mountain, steadfast and high,
In its majesty, humility lies.
To lower the gaze is to bow with respect,
Honoring Allah’s command, we connect.

In the bustling city, where distractions abound,
Lowering the gaze keeps our intentions sound.
Focused on righteousness, our vision is clear,
Guided by faith, free from any fear.

So let us embrace this noble call,
To lower the gaze and stand tall.
In modesty and virtue, we find our way,
As we navigate life, each and every day.

For in lowering the gaze, we find inner peace,
And from harmful desires, we find release.
A practice of Islam, a righteous decree,
Lowering the gaze, a path to serenity.
