A Muslims Poet: Bow Down

Bow Down

A Short Spoken-Word Poem By Halimah. Although it sounds much better out loud, inshaAllah, you will still appreciate it in its written form.

We are unique among His creation

Allah blessed us with free will

Let that be the focus of your meditation

We, the creation, have only one purpose

Ibadah! He commanded

Say Alhamdulilah! For we are to worship!

So bow down in prostration

Touch your head to the ground

Sub'hana Rabbiyal-a-'la, Three times we say

2, 4, 4, 3, 4 salah every day

Say MashaAllah for all that is in this world!

What we eat, what we do, where we go, what we own

But don't get lost, don't be mislead

keep your mind on junnah

not blind with dunya

Shaitan doesn't rest

So be at your Islamic best

Taqwa is your shield

Make it invincible by increasing your iman

Let your mood always lead to sujud

Allahummaghfirli warhamni!

We beseech the Most Merciful

Brothers, Sisters, and People of the Book

The straight path is clear

The book without doubt--the one true guidance has been delivered

SubhanAllah! Our Creator is perfect in His instruction

So bow down in prostration

Touch your head to the ground

Sub'hanaa Rabbiyal-a-'la, Three times we say

2, 4, 4, 3, 4 salah every day
