The Revival of the Ummah

The sleeping dragon is what our ummah is
Strong, full of potential, if only we knew this
we need a return to aqidah and tawheed
we need to look back at the scholars of creed
Their books, their wisdoms, we need to take heed
Before a day comes when we will be in need
a day in which no transactions can be made
No bailing out on that day
No resits, no chances the results shall be displayed
Let us embark on the Ark in which our forefathers rode
That of the sunnah so we may be like those who glowed
Their light shone throughout the generations
their emphasis lay firm on the foundations
they were met with disapproval but they remained firm
as they looked to success in the long-term
while we follow the crowd, hasty and unwise
they stuck to truth and did not compromise
they are our examplars, our heroes, our torches in the night
a full moon in comparison to the stars their light is so bright
they are the saved sect, the victorious group, ahlul hadeeth
now they lie under the ground shrouded, well beneath
their souls in gardens and rivers, palaces and pavilions
but their examples live on in the hearts of Millions…

“The last part of this Ummah shall not be rectified except by what the first
part of this ummah was rectified upon “
Imaam Maalik ibn Anas
