The Path to Strength

The soul grows strong through toil and strain,
For effort cleanses, removes the stain.
A warrior’s arm, a scholar’s pen,
Are forged by trials again and again.

In training lies the secret key,
To shape the self, to truly be.
Oh Allah, guide this hand to strive,
To learn, to grow, to keep alive.

Through discipline, the spirit ascends,
And with Your aid, the journey ends.
Oh Allah, bless my every deed,
And grant me strength in thought and creed.
