Ya Allah make my student caring and kind
Open his heart, and open his mind
Make her righteous, respectful and honest
And also pious, loving and modest
Make him appreciate the chance to come to school
And realize that knowledge is his greatest tool
To get what she wants in this life, and the next
And to be considered among the ummah’s best
Let him see the importance of knowledge
Not just as means to get into college
That it can empower him in this life
To help out his brethren living in strife
Show her that she can be a doctor and help save a life
And not just, instead, strive to be a doctor’s wife
Let her not measure her success on her number of purses
But instead the ability to lead a team of fifty nurses
Let his goal not be the best grade on a test
But that he studied and tried his best
Make her do homework and turn all of it in
And study every night with true discipline
Let him see that nothing is given withing out trying
And that cheating is the same thing as lying
Guide her to see that success only comes from You
And attaining Jannah is the only success that is true
Show my student that my goal is the same
To help increase the strength of their name
To make them the best students they can be,
Ya Allah, please answer my dua, ameen!
wow! did u write that, a-town?? Masha’Allah that was awesome! it rhymed and everything!
yes i did write it. thanks, hunno
i don’t think it’s as good as the poem I wrote for you… but I think that’s because it’s subject was far superior than this
I love it masha’Allah! Maybe you should come teach all my classes, Ms. Math-Teacher-But-Secretly-An-Awesome-Poet!
And may Allah (SWT) bless their teacher also (Ameen).
Makes me think of our Sunday School teachers and our non-sense they had to put up with…and then subhanallah, maybe it was a dua of theirs that got us where we are today.
Mashallah, what a wonderful poem/dua, can I use it on a website for parents and students to check homework and updates? I will be sure to put your name right underneath it! Please keep up the good work!
@ummruzeeh, please don’t hesitate to use the poem
