Zakiyya & Insiyya Two Little Sisters

Two Little Sisters Are Mentors for Each Other

Zakiyya and Insiyya are playing in the yard 🏡 

under a blue sky bright and wide,

Where chipmunks 🐿 run with an assignment of pride.

They are busy in business, with no moment to hide,

Preparing for winter as it draws near and wide.

The trees 🌳 turn colors and shed their leaves, 🍂 🥮 

One chipmunk 🐿 digs deep, a keeper of trust it weaves.

Another 🐿 gathers grains from the amber dust,

No slumber for them, in their labor lies wisdom and trust.

Insiyya asked softly, “Sister, what do we see?” 🔭 

Zakiyya smiled, “Each leaf is a verse for you and me.” 🍃 

When autumn fades, the trees let go,

When winter comes, the cold winds blow.

Yet spring returns, life never dies, 🤔 

Allah revives the earth as time flies.

So labor in your season, and rest when it’s due,

For effort and patience are blessings true.

Zakiyya climbed high, her heart full of grace, 🐦 

She plucked the apples from their lofty place.

She shook the branch, and the fruits did fall,

Work bears reward for those who heed Allah’s call. 🔊 

Insiyya picked the apples 🍎 from the ground,

While Mujtaba, their big brother, watched from the mound.
