Who Am I?

I am a flower with no smell,
Yet happily swaying in the breeze.

I am a flower firm in the pot,
As I have accepted what Allah has pre-ordained for me.

Taking the advise of my mentor,
I am content with the decision I have made.

With no complaints nor hard feelings I fear Allah (the Mighty) alone,
And put all trust in Him.

Do you not see the world does not matter to me,
As I have left it behind.

Only in love with spirituality I await to be placed in my eternal abode,
Which Allah has promised His servants.

I do not expect the world to understand who I am,
But if Allah is happy with me that is most sufficient to me.

What does this tell you about me?
