Last Night, I Made Love to Allah
Written by Sabina England

Last Night... 

 I made love to Allah

Knelt in Salat 

Desperate to be touched

I wept 

Calling out to Her

She appeared 

So beautiful 

Lust overcame me 

I went mad 

Took Her into my arms 

We prayed in 

Fornication. 

Exhausted 

I fell into my bed 

Allah was there with the Book, waiting for me 

Naked. 

Her Nur blanketing us 

I turned to Her 

and kissed Her 

and whispered, 

I love you.
