Yeah
I added a new name to
The 99 names of Allah:
*******

Yep
I pray to *******

At 2:00am I scream at *******
What do you want of me?

What do you want *******?
Take me home or
Show me my purpose

Give me a partner *******
To fill this pit of loneliness

I pray with anger
I pray to *******

Every duty placed in my path
I tried to fulfill *******
I now deserve better

Take me home *******
Or show me my purpose

Thus I pray to *******
The 100th name of Allah
I recently, for a couple weeks, experienced a really angry mood.  I mean really angry, angry at myself, at my ex-wife, at my doctors, at a nearby hospital, and last but not least, very angry at God. I apologize if this offends any Muslims.  As a western Sufi mureed I have great respect for the faith and would never intentionally disrespect the faith.  In fact a great sorrow of my old age is not being literate in Arabic, which would allow me to read the Holy Quran as originally written from the oral tradition. Allah does not mind anger if the prayer is sincere.
