Knowledge is...

2012-01-07T06:50:00.001-08:00

العلم قال الله قال رسولُه ... قال الصحابةُ ليس بالتمويه

Knowledge is, “Allaah said … His Messenger said …

The Companions said …” and it is not hidden
ما العلم نصبك للخلاف سفاهة ... بين الرسول وبين رأى فقيه

Knowledge is not your raising up a dispute foolishly

Between the Messenger and the opinion of a faqeeh
كلا ولا جحْد الصفات ونفيها ... حذرا من التمثيل والتشبيه

Nay nor is it to reject his attributes or to negate them completely

Warn off from giving him a created form or likeness

By Ibn al-Qayim in his book al Fawwaid

Eternal Slumber

2011-07-12T14:01:00.001-07:00

Eternal Slumber

I came home from school,

And knocked on the door,

Nobody opened it,

Except me,

With the emergency key,

Mum was sleeping,

Upstairs,

Unnoticed,

Unheard.

I ate some lunch,

And read a book,

Mum was sleeping,

Upstairs.

Father came home,

And we ate dinner,

Mum was sleeping

Upstairs.

I did my homework,

And took a shower,

Mum was sleeping,

Upstairs.

And she still is.

Only now,

She’s underground,

Unnoticed.

Unheard.

Their way leads to unhappiness

2011-06-27T20:57:00.000-07:00

Their lack of concern for the tawheed of Allah
is made evident due to their amassing of wealth and the importanace they place on it
Are they not aware that He is Ar-Razaaq
Repent, Repent!

They call upon Other than their Creator
yet their calls are futile and in Vain
They lack shyness and say what ever comes to their mind
their hearts are black they have little shame

Whoever turns away From His Remembrance
For them is a miserable life
don't ask them if they are indeed miserable
they will fake it, It's enough that He swt Informed us.

They walk through the earth with naughtiness and pride
while their hearts are fixed on illusions
they're souls and bodies collide
still they trade in utter confusion

They fight and mock the believers as promised
hating that we are not like them
Al-Wala wal Baraa is a must
but still keep ties with one's kith and kin

the owner of two paths happiness and sadness
knows who, and when, why, and how
Thus the way of Allah leads to sucess
while the opposite path is misery.

2011-06-16T09:30:00.000-07:00

ضاع الوفاء وضاعت بعده الهمم

Fidelity has been lost and after it Righteous Ambition
والدين ضاع وضاع المجدُ والكرمُ

The Deen has been lost and so too has Glory, Benevolences, and Giving

والجور في الناس لا تخفى معامله

And the signs of Aggression amongst the people are not hidden
والعدل من دونه الأستار والظلم

Fairness is beneath while over it is Secrecy and Oppression
وكل من تابع الشيطان محترم

And all who abide to the shaytaan are held in Admiration
وكل من عبد الرحمن مهتضم

While any who worship Al-Rahmaan are held in Condemnation

الشيخ أحمد العجمي
By shaykh Ahmad al-Ajmy

2011-04-27T11:12:00.000-07:00

Imagine yourself after you pass away
Imagine your grave through night and through day
Wishing that you did not do as they say
Wishing that you had got up and had prayed.

Imagine, my friends, the day that you died
Imagine all of the tears that they cried
Remember how it felt when your body was tied
Remember how it felt in the grave which you lied.

Imagine the day you'll be called to account
Imagine the sum to which your life will amount
Think for a moment of the deeds which you mount
Think for a moment how much they will count.

What will they say of you when you are dead?
What will they say, what will be said?
Will they speak of all the poor who you fed?
Will they remember all the Qur`an that you read?

Think not of them, but of Allah, Lord of mankind and jinn
Think of Allah when tempted to sin
Think of the paradise which you will dwell in
Don't wait till later to think what might have been.

Fiery Abyss

2011-04-07T06:58:00.001-07:00

Ignorance is Bliss?

They say to the believer,
Why limit yourself?

The dunya is beautiful,
Leave your books on the shelf

If only they knew,
with Islam comes peace of mind

Your understanding is whats limited,
The deaf, The dumb, The blind

If it hasn't been proven yet,
does that mean its not true?

They used to think the earth was flat,
But That sounds ridiculous to you

Allah explained so many things,
many of which we have not seen

For Allah is the All-Knowing,
Al-Azeez and Al-Hakeem

They think that they are smart.. and wise
Saying things like, " Ignorance is bliss "

This phrase, one part, you should revise
For Ignorance, its Fiery Abyss.

Abu Zubayr

Materialistic Fools

2011-03-23T14:46:00.000-07:00

Materialistic fools, Strive to be like the kuffar

Its ok if you deviate...Just don't deviate too far?

Be successful in this life, fancy clothes and jewelry

Please don't grow your beard son, you'll make a fool of me.

So concerned with this life, with its pleasures and adornments

You will regret your actions, when you meet the fiery torment.

But as for the believer, he'd rather struggle for some time

For he knows this life is short, and Jennah's beauty is sublime.

I advise you not to stress, Allah rewards with what you earn

So let them laugh in this life, In the next you'll have your turn.

Just strive to be the best, be like the Salaf and your Rasool (saw)

...and Stop imitating the Celebrities, only you think you look cool.

-Abu Zubayr

Should We Really Be Bothered?

2011-03-14T11:31:00.000-07:00

واللهِ لَوْ صَحِبَ الإِنْسَانُ جِبْرِيْلا *** لَمْ يَسْلَمِ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ قَالٍ وَمِنْقِيْلا

Even İf we were Gabriel´s companions,İ swear to you by Allaah

Being victim to He said she said would be a constant pit fall

قَدْ قِيْلَ فِي اللهِ أَقْوَالٌ مُصَنَّفةٌ *** تُتْلَى إِذَا رُتِّل القُرْآنتَرْتِيَْلا

 Untruths have even been stated about the Lord-God;unfound
Upon a non-cursory reading of the koran one sees such culumny abound


قَدْ قِيْلَ أَنَّ لَهُ وَلَدًا وَصَاحِبَةً *** زُوْرًا عَلَيْهِ وَبُهْتَانًاوَتَضْلِيْلا

 İt has been said of Him that He has a son and a wife
Deceptive fabrications,such machinations are quite rife

 هَذَا قَوْلُهُمْ فِي اللهِ خَالِقِهِمْ *** فَكَيْفَ لَوْ قِيْلَ فِيْنَا بَعْضُمَا قِيْلا

 Such  things they venture to say about Allaah their Creator
Should we be surprised then when they say things that are not in
our favor

إذا ما قال لي ربي - قصيدة أبكت الإمام أحمد

2011-03-09T22:48:00.002-08:00

If my Lord is to ask me- the poem that made Immam Ahmad cry.

[Video] إذا ما قال لي ربي - قصيدة أبكت الإمام أحمد

(إذا ما قال لي ربـــّي )

إذا ما قال لي ربي .. أما استحييت تعصيني
وتخفي الذنب عن خلقي .. وبالعصيان تأتيني

If my Lord asks me

“Have you no shame in disobeying me?

You hide your faults from my creation

yet full of sin you come to Me"

فكيف أجيب يا ويحي .. ومن ذا سوف يحميني

So what will I answer? O' Woe to me,

and who shall protect me do you see?

أسلي النفس بالآمال .. من حين إلى حين

I keep forestalling my soul

with thoughts of hope from time to time

وأنسى ما وراء الموت .. ماذا بعد تكفيني

And forgetting what is to come after death,

and after I am warped in the sheets of the dead

كاني قد ضمنت العيش .. ليس الموت يأتيني

As if I have guaranteed living forever,

and that death will not overcome me

وجاءت سكرة الموت الشديدة من سيحميني

Then the harsh drunkenness of death overtakes me,

who now will be able to protect me?

نظرت إلى الوجوه أليس منهم من سيفديني

I looked at the faces, is there not from amongst them

who will ransom me?

سأسأل ما الذي قدمت في دنياي ينجيني

I will be asked

what have I put forth in my life to save myself

فكيف إجابتي من بعد ما فرطت في ديني

So what will I answer,

after I’ve been neglectful regarding my Deen

ويا ويحي ألم أسمع كلام الله يدعوني

O’ woe to me, did I not hear the

Speech of Allah calling out to me??

ألم أسمع لما قد جاء في ق و يس

Did I not hear what has come in Qaaf'n, wa Yaseen'i

ألم أسمع بيوم الحشر يوم الجمع والدين

Did i not hear of the day the crowds will be summoned,

the day we will be collected, and the day of al-Deen'i

ألم أسمع منادي الموت يدعوني يناديني

Did I not hear the caller of death

calling me; seeking me

فيا رباه عبد تائب من ذا سيؤويه

O my lord a slave to you I come repenting,

who than shall grant me shelter?

سوى رب غفور واسع للحق يهديني

Other than an oft-forgiving Lord,

to the truth he will guide me

أتيت إليك فارحمني وثقل في موازيني

I have come to you, so have mercy on me,

and make heavy my weights

وخفف في جزائي أنت أرجى من يجازيني

And lighten my reckoning you are the best

of who will bring me to reckoning

Translated by Abu Hamza

Date with Death

2011-02-16T09:35:00.000-08:00

    Date with Death

   You're constantly on my mind almost everyday
    Hoping that when I see you I'll know what to say

   Just praying you'll look your best when you embrace with me
   Killing me inside not knowing what day it will be

   Hopefully I'm situated and prepared for you
   How? What? When? Where? But I'll be patient though

   You are very punctual with your times and date
I don't believe there was a time that you were ever late

   This date is inevitable I know we have to meet
Maybe in an Exotic restaurant or in the middle of the street

If I am not prepared it will be a big disgrace
I'm just hoping when I see you...you've have a smile on your face

   Abu Aadam

Hell isn't Easy (Immam al-Shafiee)

2011-02-02T08:32:00.000-08:00

لقلع ضرس، وضرب حبس *** ونزع نفس، ورد أمس

To pull out a molar, to be beat as a prisoner
to have your soul pulled out of you, and to be turned down a day before

وقر برد ، وقود فرد *** ودبغ جلد بغير شمس

To feel the cold, to be lead by a single man

and to be tanned without any sun

وأكل ضب ، وصيد دب *** وصرف حب بأرض خرس

To eat a lizard, to hunt a bear

and to spend your love in a mute land

ونفخ نار، وحمل عار *** وبيع دار بربع فلس

To inflate [blow on] a fire, to carry disgrace

and to sell your home for a quarter of a penny

وبيع خف ، وعدم ألف *** وضرب ألف بحبل قلس

To sell your shoes, to have one thousand people executed

and for one thousand people to be beaten with a hard rope

أهون من وقفة الحر *** يرجو نوالا بباب نحس

Is easier than to stand in the hot [hellfire]

wishing to correct your bad luck

Translated by: Amr Abulrub (Original Arabi from Immam al-Shafiee)

COMPANIONS(TRUE MEN)

2011-01-26T08:19:00.001-08:00

COMPANIONS(TRUE MEN)

What about those brave men who sacrificed their wealth and there life

Those who said Allah(swt) is sufficient for my child and my wife

Who didn't hesitate when the call came to them

Whose life and death in comparison was the same to them

Gave everything and anything for the pleasure of their Lord

Who leap into it with no fear holding that doubled edge sword

Allah(swt) says Do not say they are dead for surely I will feed them

Remember in the Battle of Badr when He sent the angels to relieve them

They did not fight for land, but for Allah's(swt) word to be superior

Even with a few in Badr they never felt inferior

"Our dead for your dead!" those words are very shallow

They swap this life for Jannah in every single battle

What about Uhud with Khalid Bin Waleed?

Little less chaotic had we took Muhammad's(saw) lead

Yes, but even their mistakes are better then our successes

We sleep all through the night, they didn't even know what rest is

I do not know what we call ourselves, but those are what you call real men

Allah(swt)was pleased with their actions and they were pleased with Him.

Rising Crimson Sun

2011-01-19T09:55:00.000-08:00

Rising Crimson sun wrapped over a metropolis of brutal unforgiving concrete

that bleeds as is it leads to the lush expanses of open fields of grass soft as your eye lashes that heeds to ------ need

Oceans inhale and exhale tides of tidals over foam.

As the gentle winds sigh mingles with summer breezes deeper moans.

Each day holds the spectrum of every color tone.

Orange and yellow gem in the sky...

How did creamy yellow butter covered with orange honey get dropped so high...

In a sky lightly powdered blowing over ---- and a midnight blue canvass sprinkled with white cotton candy clouds... Kaleidoscopic Saharan to tropic, high on views of panoramic hues over aqua blue and sapphire seas pulling the ball of butter and honey from the atmosphere as though they all do as they please. there's an ease, as another breeze, passes over green leaves, laughing once again at each other, from tree to tree...

Was it at you, or me... Or maybe just maybe they're just green with envy.

Stolen Kiss

2010-11-23T11:41:00.000-08:00

A story of a Scholar joking with his wife.

القاضي عبد الوهاب المالكي

Qādhi ‘Abd’l-Wahhāb al-Māliki said:

ونائمةٍ قبَّلتها فتنبَّهَتْ … وقالَتْ تعالَوْا فاطلُبُوا اللِّصَّ بالحدِّ

She was asleep, so I kissed her, and She awoke.
She shouted, “Help! Establish the law against this thief!”

فقلتُ لها إنِّي فَدَيتكِ غاصبٌ … وما حكمُوا في غاصبٍ بسوَى الرَّدِّ

So I said to her, “But I sacrifice myself for you! I took it by force I admit!
But they didn’t rule on the Usurper (the one who has taken something ) other than it is to be given back!

خُذيها وكُفِّي عنْ أَثيمٍ ظلامة … وإن أَنتِ لم ترضَيْ فأَلف على عدِّ

Take it and stop punishing this oppressive soul!
If that doesn’t satisfy you, then take a thousand instead!

فقالتْ قصاصٌ يشهدُ العقلُ أَنَّه … على كبدِ الجاني أَلذُّ من الشَّهْدِ

She said, “This punishment, all who posses intellect will testify
is sweeter for the Criminal than honey itself!

فباتَتْ يَميني وهي هميانُ خصرها … وباتَتْ يَساري وهي واسطَةُ العقدِ

So my right hand spent the night and it was her waist belt.
And my left hand spent the night and it was her necklace.

فقالتْ أَلم أخْبَرْ بأَنَّكَ زاهدٌ … فقلتُ بلَى ما زلتُ أَزهدُ في الزُّهْدِ

She said, “Was I not told that you were a pious man?!”
So I said, “Indeed! I am still a pious man when it comes to piety!”

Nobility & Salvation - Immam al-Shafiee

2010-11-11T16:42:00.000-08:00

Nobility & Salvation

احذر مودة الناس

Beware of the love of people

كُنْ سَاكِناً فِي ذا الزمانِ بِسَيئرِهِ *** وعن الورى كُنْ رَاهِباً في دَيرِه

“Be silent in your era as it moves along

And regarding the those whom came before, be a monk in their monastery

واغسِل يدَيكَ مِن الزمانِ وأهْله *** واحْذِرْ مَوَدَّتهـم تنِل مِن خَيـره

And wash your hands of this time and its people
And be cautious of their love whereby you reach their goodness

إني اطلعتُ فلم أجدْ لِي صاحِباً *** أصحبه في الدهْرِ ولا في غَيْره

I searched but did not find a companion
To befriend through life or than it
فترَكْتُ أسْفَلَهـم لِكَثرَةِ شَـرّه *** وتركت أعْلاهم لِـقلَّة خَيــره

So I abandoned the lowest of them due to the excess of his evil
And I abandoned the loftiest of them due the shortage of his goodness.”

Beware of the love of people
“Be silent in your era as it moves along
And regarding the those whom came before, be a monk in their monastery
And wash your hands of this time and its people
And be cautious of their love whereby you reach their goodness
I searched but did not find a companion
To befriend through life or than it
So I abandoned the lowest of them due to the excess of his evil
And I abandoned the loftiest of them due the shortage of his goodness.”

Seeking Forgiveness before Death- Immam Shafiee

2010-11-01T11:01:00.001-07:00

The following account is a poem by Imam Ash-Shaafi`ee. Al-Muzni who is Aboo lbraaheem Isma`eel ibn Yahya said: "I entered upon ash-Shaafi'ee during his illness which resulted in his death, so I said to him: 'What is your condition?' He replied: "I am journeying from this world, and departing from my brothers, drinking from the cup of death, and upon Allaah - Exalted is His remembrance - arriving. And no! By Allaah, I do not know if my soul is travelling towards Paradise or the Fire!" Then he started to weep, and he said:

إلَيكَ إلـهُ الخَلْـق أرْفَــعُ رَغبَتِي *** و‘نْ كُنتُ يَا ذا المَنّ والجُودِ مُجْرِما

‘To You, the Creator, I raise my longing,
And even if I am, O possessor of kindness and generosity, an evildoer, a criminal

ولمَّا قَسَـا قلبي وضَـاقت مَذاهِبي *** جَعَلتُ الرَجـا مِني لِعَفوكَ سَلِمــا

When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow,
I took my hope in Your pardon and forgiveness as an opening and an escape

تعَاظَمَنـي ذنبـي فلمَّـا قرِنتـُـهُ *** بعَفوكَ ربِّي كَانَ عَـفْوكَ أعْظَمــا

My sins seemed very great to me but when I compared them to Your forgiveness,
I found Your forgiveness to be much greater

فمَا زِلتَ ذا عفو عَن الذنْبِ لَمْ تَزُلْ *** تَـجُـود وتعـفو منةً وتَكَرُّمـــا

You are and still remain the only One who can forgive sins,
You grant and forgive out of Your benevolence and generosity

فلولاكَ لَـمْ يَصْمُـدْ لإبلـيسِ عَابدٌ *** فكَيفَ وقدْ أغْوَى صَفْيَك آدِمـــا

Were it not for You, then a servant could never defy Iblis
And how can that be when he mislead Your friend Adam

فيَاليْتَ شَعْــرِي هَل أصَيرُ لِجنة *** أهنـــا؟ وأمَّـا للسَّعِير فأنْدَمــا

If only I knew! Will I arrive at Paradise that I may take delight
Or at Hellfire, that I may regret?

فللّهِ دَر العَـــارِفُ الـنـدبُ إنَّه *** تَفيض لفرْطِ الوَجْد أجفانُه دَمَّـــا

How capable is Allah! For the one acquainted with lament,
blood almost flows from his eyelids due to the excess of his emotions (lament)

يَقيـمُ إذا مَـا الليلُ مَدَّ ظَلامَــه *** على نَفسِهِ مِن شدَّةِ الخَوفِ مَأتمـا

He stands when the night extends out its darkness
Stands against himself out of extreme fear, sinful

فصِيحاً إذا ما كـانَ في ذكْـرِ رَبِّه *** وفيما سِوَاهُ في الوَرى كان أعْجَمـا

Eloquent when he makes mention of his Lord
And in the mention of others than Him, he is speechless

ويَذكُرُ أيَّامـاً مَضَـتْ مِن شَبَابـه *** وما كان فيها بالجَهَـالة أجْرَمـــا

He remembers days gone by of his youth
And what was in it of ignorance, he was a criminal

فصَارَ قَرينُ الهمِّ طُولَ نهَـــارِه *** أخا السَّهدِ والنجوى إذا الليل أظلمـا

And so for the whole of his day, the companion of grief has become
the brother of sleeplessness and secret conversation when the night darkens

يقول: حَبيبي أنـتَ سُؤلِي وبَغيتي *** كفى بكَ للرَّاجـيـنَ سُؤلاً ومغنمـا

He says, ‘My beloved, You are what I request and desire
You are enough of a longing and benefit for those who have hope

ألـسْتَ الذي غذيْتني وهَــدَيْتني *** ولا زلتَ مَنـَّانـا عليّ ومُنعِـمــا

Are You not the One who has provided for me and guided me
And You have not ceased being gracious to me and full of favours

عسَى مَنْ لَـهُ الإحْسَانَ يَغفِرُ زَلتِي *** ويَسْترُ أوْزارِي ومـا قـدْ تقدَّمــا

Perhaps the Beneficent One will forgive my mistakes
And cover up my crime and what has gone forth

تعاظمَني ذنبـي فأقبلتُ خاشِعــاً *** وَلوْلا الرِّضَـا ما كنتُ يَاربِّ مُنعَمـا

My sins seemed very great to me, so I turned (to You) in humility
Were it not for my contentment in you, I wouldn’t, O my Lord, have seen any comfort at all

فإنْ تعْفُ عَني تعْفُ عَـنْ مُتمَرِّد *** ظلوم غشــوم لا يَـزايَـلَ مأتمـا

So if You forgive me, You would have forgiven a sinner,
A rebellious, oppressive tyrant still sinning

فإن تنتـقـِمْ مِني فلستُ بآيـسٍ *** ولو أدخلوا نفسي بجـُـرْم جَهَنَّمـا

So if You were to seek revenge from me, I would not despair
Even if they entered my soul into Jahannum, due to the sins

فجُرْمِي عَظيم مِن قديم وحـَـادِث *** وعفوكَ يَأتي العَبْـدَ أعْلى وأجْسَمــا

For my crimes are great, past and present
But Your forgiveness comes to the servant, more exalted and more great

حوالي َّ فضلُ الله مِن كلِّ جَانِـب *** ونورٌ مِن الرَّحمـَن يُفترش السَّمــا

The bounty of Allaah surrounds me from all sides
And Light from the Most Merciful has spread in the sky

وفي القلبِ إشراقُ المحب بوَصْلِه *** إذا قارب البُـشرَى وجَازَ إلى الحمى

And in the heart is the radiance of the beloved when he is reunited
And when glad tidings draw close, it becomes feverish

حوالي إينــاس مِن الله وَحْـدَه *** يُطالعَني فِي ظلـمـةِ القبرأنجَمــا

Exhilaration surrounds me, only for Allaah
It overlooks me in the darkness of the grave, apparent and clear

أصُونُ وَدادي أن يُدنّسـه الهَوَى *** وأحفظُ عـَهْدِ الـحُبِّ أن يَتثلمــا

I protect my love, lest my desires should pollute it
And I preserve the contract of love, lest it be defiled

ففي يَقظتِي شَوْقٌ وفي غَفوَتِي منى *** تلاحـِقُ خُـطوَى نـشوَةً وترنمـا

In my wakefulness is yearning and in my slumber is destiny
That’s pursuing my footsteps in ecstasy

ومَن يَعْتصِمْ بالله يُسَلم مِن الوَرَى *** ومَن يَرْجه هَـيْهَاتُ أنْ يَتندُمـــا

Whoever holds fast to Allaah, he is protected from men
And whoever hopes for Him, then never will he regret

A translated poem of our Mother A'isha May Allah be pleased with her, and curse all who are not.
Taken from: http://www.kulalsalafiyeen.com/vb/showthread.php?p=90670#post90670

O' Daughter of the best of people after our prophet

O' Daughter of the best of people after our prophet
To thy Virtue, the scale of balance got outweighed

Cherishing your status with wealth and dignity
When for the prophet you were preferred

When Allah wanted to keep His doctrine
Through Sunnah and Qura’an

Upon you wisdom He bestowed
honoring his prophet a generous reward

with a virtuous heart that attainth
high ranks of knowledge and faith

Keeping our prophet’s heritage
that guides us in every age

though young and novice you were
but known for your eloquence everywhere

Allah wills you to be the solace
For his beloved‘s heart and conscience

to you the prophet was passionate and kind
Which spiteful people had annoyed

a salander was invented , and I don’t mean to quote their saying
"By thy life, is but out of grudging" !

Malevolent people climbed the rope of lies
So it collapsed without solid structure

For your sake a holy verse was revealed
Absolving you from any false deed

Our mother, you remained in the guidance light
Preferred as the best of women for your insight

By your truthful speech many scholars learned
And many others from your faith source sipped

This poem, O Symbol of every virtue
with pearls was composed for you

In glamour should it shine ,and splendor
it will be for love to Allah and His Messenger

When leaves fall and become dry and wither
As bones decay souls have risen
When the heavens swoon and her moon is consumed
And the mountians and seas throw up their burdens
He and She will come under interrogation
By two angels who frighten any creation
take from your life before you die
take from your health before sickness inflict

When trouble come the son of adam is hasty
Then the sun is brought near so sweat out of fear
No relations this day will avail
Only myself myself

Now He opens His Paradise invited are few
rivers of milk rain made of honeydew
thrones of dignity round pass of jewels
As times runs out and hearts cease beating
witness, I'll witness none will be cheating

He said he came to advise

First he should have asked if it was true

I could see something else in his eyes

He acted as pure as morning dew

Sitting with his partner listening to a bucket of lies

I wish he never exposed his foolishness I should’ve withdrew

It wasn’t that he heard them that had me surprised

But that he sat to listen hoping it’s true

As if wishing for my demise

Just words of a known liar, only if HE knew

Somethings you just can’t hide

I could see him clear through

Diminished, just another fool answering the wolfs cries
Fools loosing their minds but blaming it on you

Remember our history and who was true in testing times
Knowing the truth but trying to deny, his animosity grew

Nothing any longer is he in my eyes
Just another chick that fell, thinking it flew

Loyalty is only to Allah and his Messenger chanting with cries
A word of truth used to cover the truth and behind it lye's what lies

A confused response from a confused individual, only if HE knew

Ignorant that he is ignorant

Of even the most basic functions of Islam

Yet getting up to teach

Continue to learn it is better, maybe one day you’ll reach

If so the case, where is the loyalty then
That Allah has written upon men

of the wife to her husband

and husband to his wife

The son to his father

and the friend to his friend

The Messenger even remembered the history he had with a stone

He used to sit on before he was driven from his home

Even after shown the arguments never end

So I listen with few responses hoping for this to end

Yet it is the hidden hizbiyah
that brought them together

In the name of dawa they say

but self promotion is what’s really at play

His first time in the field already ready to compromise

They gave him a minuscule role to keep him at bay

and now he thinks its all about him

I did, I went, I said, I,I,I all the way till the end

Just playing a role
a pawn in the game but thinking he’s king.

That’s how they get you to move,
my advice before you move first think

Love lightly, hate lightly
everything can change in an eyes blink

Past being able to give advice
no longer from me will he receive

In this dunyaa things never stay the same

Over a brother I once had, now... I grieve.

He Entices with matters which are disliked
He whispers,withdraws with the athaan he takes flight
He runs through banee Adam like blood in his veins
The servant runs from his family sinfully insane
He makes false promises only to make mockery
We all will be tested by him as Allah's decree
Why do you listen to this known enemy
is that sweetness of Eemaan really a bitter thorny tree
Can you tell the difference
The Qur'an is a sure reference
Has your anger over-powered your intellect
Is your doubt running scared unchecked
Will your desires turn you into it's slave
Will your remembrance of Allah be a source that saves
Is your life full of Confusion your heart black as coal
From the sins that your enemy so deceitfully sold
Leave his trail it leads to the fire
Save yourselves and your families don't become fuel
Face the Punishment of Allah if you lose this duel
So have Love Fear and Hope as you worship your Lord
Know Barakallahu feekum Allah has given you a source of Protection
In the Authentic du'a's which keeps the connection
Make your actions for His sake and submit to Islam
For it is the greatest mercy by far

Europe Removes it's Veil

Interesting article written by Shaykh Jalal Abualrub

Europe Removes it's Veil

It's Freedom of Religion for All, Except for Muslims

By Jalal Abualrub (www.islamlife.com)

For centuries, Europe mistreated the rest of the world because they, Europeans, were civilized while the rest of the world was, well, something else.

The slogans of democracy and freedom of religion filled their statements, their books and conduct, and also filled the ears of the rest of mankind to the point of hysterical breakdown. Europe emphasized its superiority every way possible. Europe was advanced, but claimed they only became advanced after breaking away from religion, meaning Christianity, after centuries of bloody religious warfare between European Christian religions. They broke away from the suffocating chokehold that Christianity had over their scientific and economic wellbeing as well as, their very life. They learned their lesson, so they said.

So, Europe built a new society that is publicly unreligious. It is secularist in its institutions, so they said. They separated God from business and state, so they said. They now only visited God once a week, if ever, but they did not allow God to visit their homes, pockets, courts, minds, businesses, military or political structures, not even once a week. The old Crusades were religion-based. The new crusades were business (i.e., money)-based. Europe has evolved to be a bastion of religious freedom, religious tolerance, so they said. Europe is no longer the old Christian Europe, but the new secularist Europe, multi cultural, multi ethnic, so they said.

New Slogans, Old Biases

So, just like their ancestors, but using new slogans, Europeans set about discovering the entire world, that is, what is not Europe; the world that was already discovered by its local populations thousands of years before Europeans set foot on their soil. The Great Discoveries brought Europe out of total ignorance regarding the rest of the world; this is the true story. But to Europe, Europe actually discovered for humanity the rest of the world that was empty all along. Well, they did find some local populations, but they were dark and savage, only good for killing or slavery.

The Great Conquests brought the riches of the rest of the world to Europe depriving its true owners of these riches and resources. This was fine. You see, Europe was enlightened, they no longer acted as Christian savages. They had factories to operate, stomachs hungry for exotic food, swimming pools that needed to be filled with fresh water, museums filled with stolen artifacts from other countries that needed even more stolen artifacts, servants to pay them their salaries, and streets to make nicer and wider. And they had armies to keep armed with the most advanced weapons man can imagine.

To Europe, the rest of the world were the savages who had treasures they did not even know about, until Europeans came. How dare these poor, backward, religion-based countries have riches when we, Europe, do not have, while they cannot possibly make use of? They are backward, while we, Europe, are civilized and can put these resources into prefect use. So, Europe occupied and divided between themselves, most of the world and used, for free, their riches and resources, enslaving their local populations, ridiculing their culture and religion and acting like masters and landlords in other people's land. Those who dared challenge the maters, well, they were annihilated. Algeria alone gladly gave up one million of its people so that France could have the right to colonize Algeria and make it look like paradise on earth, for the French of course.

The Old Continent is Still the Old Continent

Things have changed since then. Most countries that were occupied by Europe gained their freedom, or something to that effect, hopefully. Europe declined in world status. Europe declined militarily and became second-class, first-class world powers. Militarily, they cannot possibly be compared to the United States or Russia. They need the first to protect them against the second, or is it the other way around? Well, it's one of these two options. Economically and scientifically, Europe fell behind the United States and Japan. China and India are not far behind; they are running fast and steadily behind Europe. Culturally, Europe was occupied by American culture and American movies. Some Western European countries today have 20% unemployment. This is not good regardless how one looks at it. The old continent grew smaller and older. So, what does Europe still have that is unique to its culture and history? Yes, the slogans of freedom of religion, freedom of choice, and Europe being the bastion of freedom. Of course, they still have advanced economies, but not like they used to in old days.

Thus, after the era of overt colonialism ended, there was an influx of refugees and seekers of economic opportunity from the countries that Europe once occupied. The British received hundreds of thousands of Indians and Pakistanis, France hundreds of thousands of north Africans, and Germany, which did not occupy Turkey, hundreds of thousands of Turks. Spain, Portugal, Italy, Scandinavia, Holland, Denmark also received hundreds of thousands of immigrants from their former colonies and or the former colonies of other European countries. In Europe, they call these, 'illegal immigrants.' To Europe's credit, this is better than what they are called in America. In America, illegal immigrants are called 'illegal aliens', while out of space creatures are simply called, 'aliens.' Mexicans are less welcome in America than Martians.

What Europe did not count on is the populations of its former colonies coming in such large numbers, to live and work in Europe. Yes, they mainly work in jobs Europeans do not usually like and receive less wages than their European counterparts, but Europe still feels uneasy, especially in the middle of economic depressions. Now, European professionals seem to think that they cannot find work that pays them handsomely, because Ethiopian and Moroccan servants clean hotel rooms and, thus, take potential work away from Italian financiers. They remember the good old days, when colonialism was alive and well, when Europeans went to their colonies and were treated like true masters. How can they possibly tolerate millions of immigrants from their former colonies, becoming their fellow citizens and competing with them in the field of taxi driving, hotel cleaning and street sweeping? This is shocking! Further, the culture these immigrants brought with them is just something else.

The Niqab Terrifies and Terrorizes Europe

Muslims in particular represent a challenge. By definition, Muslims are not Christians (no joke intended here as in my debates with Evangelicals, many of them prove Islam is wrong because it contradicts Christianity; so we consistently remind them that … ); by definition, Islam is nothing like Christianity. However, it should not have mattered that Muslims come to secularist Europe and, just like Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, and Christians, enjoy the religious freedom in Europe they heard about for so long. What they did not know, though, is that it mattered a good deal to Europeans that Muslims now live in the heart of Europe and in the millions.

Whenever Muslims go to a country, they soon start thinking about building a Masjid and an Islamic school, and seeking the rights that Europe so often spoke about. Muslims, as compared to Christians, actually pray to their Creator at places of worship and also at their homes, businesses and in public areas; they also strive to live by the Islamic code. This should not be a problem in a political system that separates between state and religion.

Confronted by their own slogans of freedom of religion vs. old Christians biases against Islam, they chose the latter. Europe pretended to be what it's not, secularist, but when it was put into the real test, they removed the secularist hat and wore the old Christian hat which was never absent from their sight. Of course, it is all a scam. Europe has Christian parties (a hint: these parties are called 'Christian'). Christian fanatics, who are called conservatives, have ruled some European countries, while advanced their religion-Christian-based agendas in secular Europe. In America, it is even worse. Christian fanatics ruled all three branches of government for around a decade, leading to a worldwide assault on Islam and all that is dear to Muslims.

Today they Ban the Minaret, Tomorrow the Masjid

It is sad to still see Muslims defend European ways when Europe is telling them, again, in the clearest of terms, that their democracy is selective and, they are welcome if they discard their Islam. Some of the leaders of Muslim organizations in Europe defended the current acts of religious persecution that Europe legislated against Muslims, by siding with the law that outlawed the veil, the Niqab. They even said that they too are against the Niqab. These misguided leaders, to say the least, do not know, or pretend to not know that this is only the beginning. Now, Europe bans the veil and the minaret, tomorrow they ban the Masajid and the Islamic school, the day after they ban the Quran and Muslims. These misguided Islamic leaders side with this clear religious persecution at a time when Europe is saying to all Muslims: "You are free to practice your religion, unless you are a Muslim."

Nuns, and Mary, the mother of the European lord and savior, can wear clothes that cover their entire body, except the hands and face, but religious Muslim women cannot cover their face from the eyes of men who are sick in their heart. European men have grown accustomed to looking at semi-naked women, for free. They cannot possibly imagine a woman covering her body from their evil eyes. Uncovering the body in public is not a sign of repression of women, but a sign of freedom (meaning for men to look at them for free). However, when a western Muslim woman chooses to cover her body by her own free will, she is a victim of religious (Islamic) oppression. It seems that these women repress their own selves, by choosing to wear what they wish to wear in the middle of the continent that bored us, for so long, about their religious freedom.

Europe could not imagine what has happened. They slept for a few decades and woke up to find millions of Muslims roaming European cities and streets, building Masjids and Islamic schools. These are not like other immigrants. These are Muslims. They come with a culture that they respect, a religion that they practice, a history that has honored them and they honor it, and an unwillingness to compromise on their religious freedoms or to water down their religion so that they appear to be good European citizens of secularist Europe. Muslims in Yugoslavia tried that. For decades, many of them blended in with their fellow non-Muslim citizens, abandoned their religion partially or totally, wore the same clothes as non-Muslims, and acted like they were not Muslims, drinking, dancing and forgetting their Islam, including how to pray. Yet, when the war started, Christian Slavs and Croats killed Muslims because of the hint of Islam that remained in them, which in many cases was no more than a Muslim name. Muslims were shocked. They did blend in and, yet, they were killed based on their religion. Europe was a spectator as it watched the slaughter for years, all the while tightening the arms embargo against Muslims so they could not defend themselves.

How the Concept of Secularist States is Supposed to Work

I wish a courageous westerner, specifically European, would explain how their secularist system is supposed to work. When a country states that it is secularist, meaning, it does not promote or propagate for or against any religion, where there are slogans of freedom of religion of religion and freedom of choice, where the state does not intervene in the business of religion, then it should not matter if its citizens practice Islam, Christianity or no religion at all. However, the message the Muslims get is very direct and very simple, "You are free to practice your religion, unless you are a Muslim."

It seems that Europe is so weak at the core of its [fake] democratic values that it is afraid of a woman who covers her face. Europe is so weak as a culture that it sees a Hijab or two as a mortal threat. So, it hysterically uses the power of the secular state to define for a segment of its population, what they are allowed or not allowed to practice in their own religion. How can this work in a secularist country is beyond me. But, for some Europeans to justify their intervening in a religious matter by invoking the European slogan of religious freedom, is just perfectly asinine. 'Freedom of Religion' means to practice a religion free from state intervention. Banning a religious practice in a secularist country that claims to have a system based on religious freedom, contradicts religious freedom. How can such a simple concept escape the brilliant minds of secularist Europe?

Europe Wins 2-0 Against Two Defenseless Women

Congratulations to France and Italy. They won against two Muslim women who chose freely to cover their face from the eyes of immoral French and Italian men. Italy has not won a real war since the Roman empire. France has not won a real war since Napoleon, who was not a real Frenchman to begin with (he was from Corsica). So they declared war against Muslim women covering their face, and won the war by fining these honorable women who chose to wear their religious attire.

In secularist Europe, it is not fine for a Muslim woman to cover her face in obedience to her Creator (unless it is a monetary fine, of course; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1271848/Woman-Italy-fined-430-wearing-burqa.html). However, it is fine for the current Italian prime minister to be an adulterer and a totally immoral man even by Italian standards, which are not much standards to begin with. It is alright for a French president to be a womanizer and to live with his girlfriend in adultery, before getting married to her. But it is not alright for Muslim women to cover their face. You see the trouble, don't you? These two European leaders and their fellow countrymen of Europe have to see the faces of women to satisfy their evil desires. They only see women as an object of illegal sex. No respect for women. This is the ultimate repression for women. This is why Allah legislated for women to protect themselves by covering the body and face in public.

Switzerland, Germany and other European countries are afraid of a minaret that calls to the Oneness of God and the honor of all men and women. Yet, there are Muslim men and women who criticize me for treating modern day secularist Europe the same way I treat old-day Christian Europe. Well, I don't. There is an obvious difference.

Old Europe was true to its cause, no matter how evil the cause, since they did not hide it behind fake principals that they do not really believe in or respect. They went to Jerusalem to take it back from Muslims and give it back to Jesus, even if Jesus did not want them to do that. Their slogans were simple and direct, not disguised behind fake principals.

Modern day Europe acts in the same manner as old Europe, but is less honorable in conduct. Modern day Europe acts like Christian powers, having the same biases against Islam as ever, and the hatred, and the complete ignorance in Islam as Europe of old always had. However, modern day Christians hide all this under slogans of freedom of choice and freedom of religion, but break their own values when they are confronted by Muslims who refuse to be dishonorable or slaves to sex, wine, drugs and money. Old day Christians had more courage, if misguided, than modern day Europe.

Europe Removes its Secularist Face and Reveals its Ugly Christian Fanaticism

Europe and Europeans have finally removed the veil that covered their face, and what's beneath this veil is the old Christian faith: fanatical, biased, ignorant and intolerant, {They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allâh’s Light (with which Muhammad has been sent — Islamic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kafirun (disbelievers) hate (it). It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad, peace be upon him) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it).} (9:32-33).

Freedom

2010-08-21T14:37:00.000-07:00

Let me tell you,
This is a free land, an example to all
Proclaiming to all nations to follow their call
So listen up, maybe you’ve missed out on them all

The free-doom of speech,
It is the freedom to articulate what you want to say
But it really means, “We will keep a close eye on what you say”
You might get into trouble for what you say,
With another man like you, just ’cus he does not like what you say
So it is frankly, free-doom I would say

Oh, this is a good one, Free-doom for women,
It is the liberation of women from the clutches of men,
So that women can now wear anything they are freely given
The less they wear, the more FREE they become,
For whom you thought? It is for MORE men

You women, are free of the shackles of your men,
Those men who are supposedly, taking care of your needs,
Looking out for your wellbeing, and protecting you from other men
When you get married, you change your last name,
Since you have free-dumb, so now you become the property of another

No!!! Now you women are TRULY free,
You can go wherever you want, exposing yourself to true free-doom
So now, more than one man can enjoy you more,
You are free to express your mind,
So, more men have lots more entertainment than just one
You can now wear whatever you want,
The less you do, the more exciting it becomes

More Free-dumb for women,
So they have liberated you and freed you O’ women
Provided you with all of this, even picked out the choices,
So that it’s more easy for you to choose your free-dumb
No they’ve matured you and tamed you to accept free-dumb,
Now the bait is more easier to steel from

Free-doom of religion,
Free, it is to practice your religion,
so long as you follow “their religion”, oops, I mean their culture and way of life first
So what is their way of life? It is to be a man and the woman of the land first,
Then you may choose from the religions they allow,
And don’t get me wrong there is plenty to go around.
The bottom line is their religion has plenty to choose from
Hey, guys there is enough of free-dumb, so don’t be shy

Economic and financial free-doom,
Hey listen up! They in ties and suits, know the best,
The more smooth and shiny their faces, better they know
They are smarter than you, so, they give you the solutions for you to choose from
So while you indulge in free-dumb, they will do all the work for you

Have you not experienced the beauty of the credit system?
Hey, imagine you can buy something you really don’t have the cash for
So in the future you would have accrued a mountain of free-doom
Even if you have the money to buy, why use it all up,
Save it and use their financial plan,
That way over a period of time you can pay them for being kind,
With interest, I mean, your “interest” in mind

The best of all, they will keep an account OF you, oops, I’m sorry, I mean account for you,
That way, you do not need to worry and spend
As a merchant, you will know your customer’s credibility
Do not worry about THEIR credibility, for remember they are in ties and suits,

Hey, you cannot complain,
They’ve given plenty of entertainment to indulge in the free-dumb,
Since, the more free-dumb you acquire, the easier for them
They have basketball, football, and baseball seasons all year-around,
Which are literally at your fingertips, with the remote in hand

Many are free to produce movies and films,
Dedicated in creating more free-dumb for you.
See how easy life is for you, they’ve even chosen the options you have.

Free-doom or free-dumb of Choice,
It means “We have chosen the options for you,
so pick from the variety we have provided for you”

Don’t you understand, you are too dumb, I mean,
You are too busy with free-dumb, so they’ve done you a favor
And think about it, they are so smart,
That if you brought a new choice, in-turn you are reciprocated with free-doom
Man, amazing is their plan

So, come on, Fight for your free-dumb or free-doom,
And they’ve even given you the guidelines of the fight.
This is their game, so you need to play by THEIR rules

It is “The Land of the free”, for those what desire free-dumb
“The home of the brave”, for those who are bold to take on free-doom

Now think about this…

Islam has given you Freedom of speech,
You are free to say whatever you wish,
but remember you and only you are accountable for what you say
Yet, Allaah chooses who He will pardon and purify for what they say

Islam has freed you O’ women,
Even your name, you maintain the name of you father
Thus free from becoming the property of another
You are free to own your own wealth without the fear of being stolen by another,
And even made true men as guardians upon you to guard your wealth

O’ mother, Islam has freed you of your daily chores,
Made for you plenty of children to honor and help you,
Thus, elevated you to the ranks of the queens,
even the queens of the world, do not have this to acquire

Islam has put true men as guardians over you,
Who have been given a degree above you,
so that they must attend to your needs
They stand as fierce soldiers guarding their women,
From the plots of the enemy, since this world is a battle

Islam has given you freedom to wear whatever you like,
In the company of your husband, as an enjoyment for this life.
It has freed you from being the slave of men,
as THEY disguise as the “liberation of women”

Islam has given you the freedom of living in any manner you like,
So long as you stick to the shari’ah, that truly has your interest in mind.
Do you imagine Allaah, wishing for you harm, impossible is that flash in the mind
For the ruling of the shariah is that, the things of the world has been made permissible,
Except for those that that have been denied,
And the opposite is true for the worship of Allaah,
Where He has made it easy and has indicated,
That all worship is denied, except for what He has made legal

Islam has made forbidden the compulsion of religion,
On any of the beings of this worldly life,
Since the nature of this world that Allaah has created,
Is that the truth will eventually standout form falsehood,
And know, the nature of falsehood is that it is bound to perish,
No matter how short or long a time it is given

Remember, Allaah is the one who created you,
And the world that you run after,
So surely He knows what’s good and evil, am I not right?

Islam has made financial loans permissible
without the oppression of usury,
and made the only credibility, the quality of truthfulness and being upright
and the true reward is for those who are just,
knowing that the final meeting with their Lord is too near

Islam has given you the freedom of choice,
For you to test the strength of your own character,
Correct choices are rewarded two times, in this world and the next,
And bad ones, either pardoned or atoned by your Creator.
Where good choices are accounted for in haste,
While bad ones are given respite to correct,
By the command of the One who has extensive Mercy

Islam has made the whole world free to abide therein,
It is men that restrict the world for whom they have interest in.
Islam truly freed you from being a slave of men,
To being the slave of the Creator of men,
And this is it, that the evil ones fear,
The true freedom of man in every which way of the meaning of the word

This word ‘Freedom’ has been hijacked,
by the lowly ones to control the world that they so run after.
Not knowing that the hereafter is truly what they should be after.

Islam is truly the freedom we should be after.
Think about it, how can a man like you, give you freedom?
So you take your pick, what is it that you are after?
Free-doom, Free-dumb, or Freedom???

The Nafs and It's Enemy

2010-08-19T12:14:00.000-07:00

The Self entices towards matters we Love
The Shaytaan calls towards matters we hate
The Nafs craves wealth and Women
It's Enemy(Shaytaan)calls the soul to steal, Gamble, and Fornicat
The worst of the souls is Rebellious against Allah
Isn't worthy of Honor
Seeking ways to cash in without working
Al Jawwaad returns to His slaves
Every souls receives His Mercy
Yet the ingrate feels intitled
All Matters are written in a preserved book
Now Look! How the self can heal itself by rememberence
Allah will inherit the Earth alone
The Nafs see Honor and Humiliation by what it owns
This is Insaan(Man) O what destruction has fallen upon him
Except the self who Allah saves
Al-Ubodiyah makes one elated
Too pleased in this dunya
Not taken away by empty desires
Calmness and relaxation, Never in this worldly life
The Nafs and It's enemy will continue the Jihad
None more pleasing then a righteous wife
The enemy shows enmity while upon the path
Let the self remain mindful

Leave the Veil alone

2010-08-09T20:39:00.001-07:00

You attack her because she stands alone in a sea of immodest immorality
You attack her because she chooses not to use her sexuality
leave this glass vessel to her life style and her beauty will remain untouched
She chooses not to compete in your race for equality with men
She chooses not to falsely use her sexuality to entice
Nor does She choose to take on the dress of her opposite
Not for attraction nor vice
Leave alone her veil and her choice to voice
it's her Right to Worship her Lord as He Subhanna wa ta'Ala decided
Don't hate accommodate
Don't annoy this servant of Allah not the servant of males nor her desires
When you past her by in the streets, Past her by
Allah has promised protection for His believing slaves
For He Does Not lie
Thus she guards her Modesty throughout her days
This dunyah is a test to see who's best in behavior
So don't test her dress, I'll save her Bi'ithnillah
Leave the veil alone O disbelieving women
For it is this symbol you're threatened by, Why?
Is it because you recognize righteousness, that which your fitrah can't deny
deep within your hearts you bear witness to her goodness
but your Qareen entices towards shamefulness and a lie
Rather many lies have your devils tricked you into believing
and O Muslim let the strangers go about their way
don't hinder your brothers from the One path.
The night is like it's day
Don't hate the Sunnah, or you'll become gray
She desires to cover in front of the non-relative
free from mixing with them
Be happy for her, for she is a shining example
Leave the veil alone
Restrict your hatred to the evil she shuns

Follow Do not Innovate

Follow and do not innovate
Islam is straight
One path is correct
The Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the creed of the Sahaabah as a starting point.
Remain upon This will ensure you survive
Whilst the Companions were alive
No bid'ah was to be found
After they passed away
Others not from them came around
People of different backgrounds begin to play
with the deen of Allah
Beliefs and ideals foreign to Islam, begin to creep
Into the upright ranks.
although having good intent
their worship was incomplete without it'tibaa(Correctness)
The results were sects, splitting and differing
Weakness spread and strenght departed
They were from the offspring of the Persians, Jews, Christians, and
idol-worshippers.

From them were some with evil intent
their goal was to corrupt this religion.
they had a big role great turmoil they sent
Regarding the beliefs (aqaa'id) of the Muslims
in corrupting their minds and hearts
the Islamic world will never be the same

Thus, browering the beliefs of the Jews,and Christians
The Persians and the Greek Philosophers.

They strike with poisonous precision
aiding the devils in deviating the Slaves of Allah
brought into the Arabic language through translation.
seventy-two sects amongst the ranks of creation
As mentioned in the Prophetic Sunnah
the Khawaarij, the Raafidah, the Qadariyyah and the Murji'ah
Whoever sits at their tables for dinner
They will dine from a dumpster of confusion

Follow and do not Innovate
What has been left will suffice
Kitab wa Sunnah upon the fahm of the Salaf
anything else corrupts like lice
Don't be saddened by the few you see
treading this path
For without the Guidance the others face Allah's wrath
So rejoice O Sunni and beware of the bid'ah

2010-06-24T23:19:00.000-07:00

Ever been stressed........................something on your chest

Ever been pressed........................put to the test

Failed and feelin like......................your worth-Less

Just let'n you know........................you not alone

and if what goes up.......................must come down

It must also be true........................the other way around

and a frown ain't but a smile..........just upside down

Using poetic meter- not a fan of this but giving it a try

Stressed like something's on your chest

Pressed getting put to the test

Failed feeling like your Worth-Less

Like being lost cant find home

Just know that your not alone

If what goes up must come down

Must be true other way around

A frown is a smile face down

I am your Test

2010-06-15T15:43:00.001-07:00

I got no hinges but a door

I’ve laid the tiles, on a not so solid floor

I’ve got hard but no core

I’m the shiny rims on a car with no engine

I’m a beautiful house you don’t wanna live in

I’m a body with no soul

Deficient never whole

I’ve no love yet me you adore

I can turn something wonderful into something so cold

Like a mother and child killed while on a midday stroll

Like an innocent boy that lied and stole

Over sneakers he thought were soooooo cold

I entice the wealthy to fight over status and place

The chaste to give up in a moment of haste

The patient to run a marathon like a race

Turn a truly noble man into a disgrace

Persuade the blessed to deny Allah’s grace

I trick millions to watch men running after a ball

Discarding the Prayer Callers Call

In moderation I might be enjoyed

Too much I make you my slave toy

If you ignore me I seek you out

If feigned for I’ll turn you about

I give a little, and take a lot

As soon as you think I’m so great, I end, abrupt

Never to return, don’t blame me, you were corrupt

Everything you did here was recorded

Your actions in front of all will be reported

I don’t last, prepare to be deported

To the one you came from, alone and unsupported

I am the Dunya, I am worldliness, I am materialism

I am what I am

I’ll never be loyal to anyone, and I am a test for everyone

I am your test... So ask your self
Will you fail or will you pass?

Abu Hamza

It Just Is...

2010-06-13T15:33:00.000-07:00

As warm as a baby's first breath
Much like in autumn at noon,
It Just is...
Nothing in reality's "TOO LATE", or "WAY TOO SOON"
Islams the gate way to Sakina, so dream the right deen,
Dihkru Allah all through the day, and what you strive for will be seen

The Fly

2010-05-21T11:35:00.001-07:00

A wisdom taken from an Arab poet; a verse about not responding back to the ignoramuses and foolish from amongst men (not a direct translation of the verse but a reflection of its wisdom).

Should I swat every time the fly flies by

If so then the fly in my eye has a place that is high

Abu Hamza

Stare

2010-05-19T10:09:00.000-07:00

Stare
You stare at me curiously
You stare at me with animosity
You stare at me pointedly
My Hijab, it's my identity
But, you've already judged me
My body, is not a commodity
But, you've already categorized me

Let me explain to you what you're unwilling to see
I wear it for it was God's decree
I wear it for my modesty and chastity
It was my choice, and no my parents didn't make me
And yes I'm educated, in Islam it's my duty
Real freedom is being judged on your personality and not if you dress reveilingly
It's being judged on the intellegince of your mind and not the size of your behind
It's being judged on the content of your character not on your body in a magazine making paper

So go ahead and stare at me
I don't need to compromise myself to win popularity
My purpose in my life is to worship He who has created me
Not to please someone that was created by He
So please, go take a look at a mirror
Maybe the image of someone whose been truly oppressed will be clearer

O how foolish I have been

blind to the clear reality

ignoring the pearls that are cradled between it’s pages

each page turn leaving you in complete awe

these are treasures that have been gathering dust on our shelves for far too long

when will we awaken from this slumber

we’re running after paper with heads of queens

when real value lies in the papers engraved with these beautiful truths

centuries have passed with it’s teachings in motion on the limbs of the faithful

not poetry or magic but greater - moving grown men to tears

reminding them of the most merciful who will protect them from all their fears

unmatched in it’s sheer eloquence and beauty

passing on it’s messages is every Muslim’s duty

living by it’s rulings is the way to salvation

standing by it’s principles means victory for this nation

The Revival of the Ummah

2010-05-08T00:28:00.000-07:00

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 “

LIFE

2010-05-07T09:10:00.001-07:00

Life is a maze,
which everyone must go through
but unlike a maze,
there is no exit,
until,
you,
die.

Life is a puzzle,
which everyone must solve
but unlike a puzzle,
it cannot be solved,
until,
you,
die.

Life is a vast, open sea,
which everyone must swim through
but unlike a sea,
there is no shore,
until,
you,
die.

Life is a high, high mountain,
which everyone must climb,
but unlike a mountain,
there is no peak,
until,
you,
die.

Life is something,
extraordinary to humans,
always a surprise,
and like a surprise,
you don't know of what's coming,
until,
you,
die.

This is dedicated to that brother in France with 4 wives (and all like him) and those sisters seeking chastity and modesty and the pleasure of their lord alone,and are being bothered by some of the most disciple of people ever known.
Lead by an insignificant man, known to have been in many illicit relationships and whose “current” partner is a former model that occasionally poses nude for all to see. As well as being with numerous partners herself (I’ll keep this family friendly).

They attack the sisters who dare to cover while they propagate promiscuity. They prohibit a man taking responsibility and protecting his chastity; yet endorse onside relationships and adultery. But what can we really expect from a people that have left the worship of Allah, to worship the creation of Allah?

They say how could he marry more than one woman

More headaches, stress, anxiety, and don’t forget children

Also to these women it’s “Degrading” and “Oppression”

You must have forced them no question.

I said these are not normal women

One of our women is worth a thousand of yours, and a million of your men

And this being the case we love to marry them

2,3,4…. 10

But we’ve been restricted to 4 because the Most Wise declared that’s the extent of what we can handle; us men
But this is for our men; your men can not handle even one.

That’s why after a few encounters they’re a ghost can’t find ‘em

But hey what can I say, not all males are men

So like I said your men can’t handle even one

Not one of ours but one of yours, you know she equals out to about (one, one thousandths)

That is (one, one thousandths) of one of our women

You do the math and figure out why we love to marry them

And don’t forget it; we are theirs and they are ours

The Most high gave us each a place, a place that is glorified

Thus we treat each other in kind

We come together to enjoy each other, not to conquer one another

With honor we raise our women and as Allah commands we place our women

Instead of

Hurt our women

Play our women

Break our women

Cheat our women

Degrade our women

Trick our women

And then claim we’ve liberated our women

So we could put them on the soapbox

Use them to sell anything

From a hair shaver

To toilet paper

Some end up with no children or husband

Work and toil till their beauty is gone and no one wants em

Forgoing their wisdom and down playing their role

Liberated them right into a hole

And then

the angriest of them

turn to feminism

Created to fight the out of control sexism,

Male domination and chauvinism

But in the end it is another misguided trick and just another ISM

All created by your kind, one more ill-advised, course to demise

But you’re so infatuated with our women wanting what we have, and you can’t grab

So now you’re attacking thinking the victor the women he shall have

Forgetting these are not normal women

Their loyalty resolute

Chaste and honor absolute

Their love not easy to attain

Their passion not for hire

Their beauty only for their Men to admire

They will not do the shaytaans bidding or become a tool for your desire

Indeed they are women you will never be able to acquire

So threatening to take a citizenship or “ruin my life”

Will not make me give up even half a wife

They are worth more than this world and that which is in it

So go ahead charge me or bribe me

You have heard what I said, I will not flee... but fight,

They are my honor and the coolness of my eyes

Don’t look so surprised

“Who ever fights for his Wealth and Honor is a martyr if he Dies”

It is your women for which we cry

For having to be with such men no wonder they turn to one another

And it is your men for which we cry

For having to be with such women no wonder they turn to one another

Yet we still say you are always welcome over here on the other side

Submit to Allah and live upright, and forget about everything else you been told

It was all a LIE!

The Struggle...

2010-05-06T10:50:00.000-07:00

I have seen a lot in my time…

I have seen benevolent men deride
And the Apostles of Allah belied
While the morally destitute are held up high

I have seen men prostrating to everything from the moon to the sun
And some claiming that Allah is everything to others claiming there is none
While the praises of the Creator in these halls go unsung

I have seen the man deprived
And the woman tricked and taken for a ride
While the children cry, and the shyattaan raises his head high

I have seen the purest of ways branded as indecent and dirty
And the most polluted of paths treaded throughout life’s journey
While the ship is sailing and leaving behind all who is phony

I have seen justice trampled on and fairness loose its ability
And the most despised of creation taken as an authority
While the worthiest of men live in infamy

I have seen the most noble of scholars dismissed and diminished
And the ignorant speak, teach, and lead. Does this mark the finish?
While the hypocrites spread their venom, others stand quietly to witness

I have seen respected figures steal and lie
And cowards speak foul of the brave then run and hide
I have seen the dog live in extravagance while the Lions die

I have seen a lot in my short time…
But I will not join in, on the crime
I will fight till victory is mine or it is my time
So let the dogs bark this Lion has yet to die

As the Arabs say:

We fault our time but the shame is in us, and our time has no shame other than us.

We have truly lived Rajab and seen Ajaa’b (startling, and amazing things)

7 Conditions Of Shahadah

2010-05-03T18:16:00.000-07:00

7 conditions of Shahada

It takes Knowledge to fight ignorance
and certainty to shun doubtfullness

Sincerity is our purity while our enemy is our haughtiness

Truthfullness negates hypocrisy our love distaste for mockery

Towards Allah's religion we submit our souls and property

Acceptance of this message no hesitation or rejection

Bless be the Holy one whos far from imperfection.

Who Are The Fools That Have Mixed These Together

2010-04-29T16:38:00.001-07:00

Water is virtuous and has unique pure qualities

Milk is virtuous and has unique pure qualities

When mixed together,

Milk has acquired the traits of water, and the water likewise

So milk is no longer milk and water is no longer water

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

Likewise, men are virtuous and have unique qualities

Women are virtuous and have unique qualities

When mixed together,

Men have acquired the traits of women, and the women likewise

Men are no longer men and women are no longer women

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

What! the men have turned into WO-men and the women have turned into -MEN

So, we have males but not men, and females but not women

The women are no longer feminine, and emasculated are the men

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

O' people, When will we realize this fact?

Has not society already proven this to us?

Or are we blind, zombies walking with dead hearts?

O' people if we are asleep then wake up and give ear to this?

Have not the males shaven their beards

And who from the creation do not have beards?

Have not the males lowered their garments below their ankles?

And from who of the creation are ordered to lower their garments?

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

Have not the females adorned the attire of shirts and pants?

And from who of the creation dress in this manner?

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

Do you not hear the males softened their voices?

And from who of the creation whose nature is to soften the voices?

Do you not hear the females raise their voices?

And from who of the creation whose nature is to have loud voices?

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

What! have the males stayed at home to look after the children,

While the females have gone out to fend?

And from who of the creation is known to bring home the provision,

while the other attends to the children?

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

Has not a woman stood up to lecture a gathering of males?

While they listen in submission?

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

Has it not caused the males to lose the natural desire for women and turn to their own,

Has it not caused the females to lose the natural desire for men and turn to their own,

Thus reviving the despicable traits of the people of Loot

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

Have you not heard the echoes

"I can do anything a man can do",

And the call for the "equality between the sexes"?

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

Have they not heard the statement of our mother,

"And the man is not like the woman"

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

What!!! now the Muslims!!! have turned to the same,

Following the one who entered the lizard's hole again?

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

O' men, beware of entering upon the gathering of women,

For you may lose your virtue and acquire their traits!

O' women beware of entering upon the gathering of men,

For you may lose your virtue and acquire their traits!

Concern yourself not with the accusations of these fools,

For they are a people who are lost and heading for destruction

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

The day of judgment has arrived

2010-04-28T15:12:00.000-07:00

The day of judgment has arrived.

For those who have commited sin,

For those who have done good,

or at least strived.

The day of judgment has arrived,

The noise of the trumpets has been heard.

By human, by Jin, by animal, even the bird.

The day of judgment has arrived,
The believer now says,

“just one more time, let me stand to pray, bow to my creator”

Theres no time to pray,
This is judgment day.

The day of judgment has arrived,

The mother drops her newborn and runs,

As the mountains rumble,

And the heat is excruciating from the sun.

The day of judgment has arrived,

People begging,

Please O’ Lord have mercy,

Have mercy on me.

For I have missed my prayers,

Did not give much charity,

For it was mere insanity.

The day of judgment has arrived,

Family is family no more,

Friends flee from you like never before

They flee as far as the eye can possibly see,

The time has now come for all your actions to be judged,

Allah only, is who we will beg for mercy.

The day of judgment has arrived,

Are you prepared to face Allah in the state you are in?

Are you teaching the Quran and the Sunnah to the children?

The day of judgment has arrived,

Please O’ Muslim, remember this day,

Remember if you may.

Are you that ashamed and weak
That all it takes is for someone to call you a freak
And you forget how to simply speak
About the truth that was sent down to the mountain’s peak
The words of Allah you’d rather tweak
Sending you down a losing streak
For Allah’s sake would you not turn the other cheek
His rules laid out as clear as a river creek

Our sins we are told to minimize
Instead we speak lies and break ties
Using this dunya as a disguise
As if you could deceive The Most Wise
For when it comes time to say your goodbyes
Your good deeds will be your only allies
All you once loved now you despise
Begging to see one last sunrise
The time has come for your demise

All through your body runs the fear
Because its quiz time from munkar and nakeer
Trying to fight so they don’t come near
Their questions strike you like a warriors spear
A minute now feels like a light year
Into hells cages your soul disappears
Unlike the green-winged souls of your pious peers
Excuses you spit out faster than an auctioneer
Didn’t help you get up here where life is perfect and mere

Now tell me was it worth it
Or are you still too bold to admit
That when you had the chance you should have quit
Thrown all your sins and doubts into a fire pit
And found the strength to submit

"IF"

2010-04-27T11:57:00.000-07:00

Although this poem was not written by a Muslim poet, it's meaning bears much wisdom.
And wisdom is the trade of the believer he takes it where he finds it.

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

There’s this woman I’ve met
She crept quietly into what seemed to me to be
A place in my heart that she was intimately familiar with
At first I was leery, so with I kept her at an arm’s length with my speech
But she continued to reach
And when she touched me I felt helpless
And I felt restless
As she danced through my thoughts
So gorgeous, so graceful

There’s this woman I’ve met
She’s taken my heart to a secret and secluded place
Where hate dissipates and love songs originate
And I don’t know the scenery
And the feelings are unfamiliar
But I’m not afraid, so I gravitate toward her light
She calls and I come, unable to resist
And unwilling to desist
So I move closer because I want to be close to her

There’s this woman I’ve met
I don’t know this woman, but I KNOW this woman
I didn’t see her coming
But I felt her near me
And I was ready to receive her
With all that I am and all that I hope to be
And she sat with me
Saying whatever came to mind
Her words are a different kind
Not hurting, but healing
Nurturing and shielding
My soul from the pain of the past and fright of the future

There’s this woman I’ve met
And I just want to love her
Deeply, passionately, irrationally
And I feel brave in her presence
And saved by her essence
She is the response to prayers I don’t deserve to have answered
So I strive to be worthy
Because I am past grateful
And I know that life is fleeting
And I know that our meeting
Is ordained like the predestined path of the stars
And if she lives on Venus I am ready to leave Mars
To be the companion of this woman I’ve met… forever

The Children

2010-04-25T08:51:00.000-07:00

The children are labeled,the children haven't been given discipline and strength so they are disabled and this causes them to fall for anything.The children have not been taught the virtue of honesty and integrity so they rather cheat and scheme, the children are living in unwanted nightmares and yet many wonder why when they are told to dream they refuse.

The children are not being protected instead they are being neglected,the children continue to be abused,the children watch so called elders run from social responsibility,however many cant understand when it's time for them to lead the community they also run hoping they can find a politician they can vote for that tells the best lies.

The village ties have have been broke it's no longer raising the children it has fell victim to a monster that goes by the name conquer and divide,children are disrespecting the tribe,this is why grandma scared to come outside,this is why when grandpa is walking down the street his grandsons dont step aside,this is why nephews rumble with the uncles,the nieces taunt the aunts,brothers act sinister towards the sisters,the cousins stand with canon in hand busting on distant cousins because they dont value the blood.

The youth aren't taught that freedom comes with truth so they are enslaved by lies that mislead them so they grow to be old without knowing what it means to be wise we have to do something are the children will continue to be brutalized by suicide,homicide,nutricide and genocide which leave more children who wont know how to survive and before you know it there will be no more children ALIVE.

O' Worshipers of Christ

This is a poem by Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyah may Allah have mercy upon him,

in it he questions Christians on some of their fundamental beliefs.

Enjoy!

To view/listen the poetry being recited click on "read more" below.

The following is the English translation of the poetry from the Arabic original:

" O Christ-worshippers! We want an answer to our question [from your wise ones],

If the Lord was murdered by some people's act, what kind of god is this?

We wonder! Was He pleased by what they did to Him?

The following is the English translation of the poetry from the Arabic original:

" O Christ-worshippers! We want an answer to our question [from your wise ones],

If the Lord was murdered by some people's act, what kind of god is this?

We wonder! Was He pleased by what they did to Him?

If yes, blessed be they, they achieved His pleasure,

But if He was discontented, this means their power had subjugated Him!

Was the whole entity left without a Sustainer, so who answered the prayers?

Were the heavens vacated, when He laid under the ground somewhere?

Were all the worlds left without a God, to manage while His hands were nailed?

Why did not the angels help Him, when they heard him while he wailed?

How could the rods stand to bear the True Lord when He was fastened,

How could the irons reached Him and [had] His body pinned?

How could His enemies' hands reach Him and slap His rear,

And was Christ revived by himself, or was the Reviver another god?

What a sight it was, a grave that enclosed a god,

Stranger still is the belly that confined Him!

He stayed there for nine months in utter darkness, fed by blood!

Then he got out of the womb as a small baby,

Weak and gasping to be breast-fed!

He ate and drank, and did what that naturally resulted,

Is this [what you call] a god?

High Exalted be Allah above the lies of Christians,

All of them will be held accountable for their libels!

O Cross-worshippers! For what reason is this exalted and blame [is cast upon those] who reject it?

Is it not logical to break and burn it, along with the one who innovated it?

Since the Lord was crucified on it, and his hands were fastened to it?

That is really a cursed cross to carry,
So discard it, do not kiss it!

The Lord was abused on it, and you adore it?

So [it is clear that] you are one of His enemies!

If you extol it because it carried the Lord of the Worlds,

Why don't you prostrate yourself and worship graves, Since the grave contained your god in it?

So Christ-worshipper, open your eyes,
This is what the matter is all about. "

His-Story

2010-04-24T01:45:00.000-07:00

I've seen those who truly are in need denied,I have seen oppressive rulers ignore the peoples cries arrogantly rejecting the learned when they hold them by the hand and advise.I have seen the truthful messengers with divine messages from above the seven heavens accused of telling lies.

Let me tell you what has been visualized by these old wise eyes of mine,whats my name you ask?just listen and you will find out in due time.

I've watched once feared empires become colonized,I have seen arks of brutality with human cargo inside carried by the ocean tide only to be sold off in a foriegn land.With tears in my eyes I saw babies ripped from the wombs of women by someone they called driver man.I've seen there descendants take a stand with rifle in hand with a list of demands ready to fight for power wanting the same rights as every other man that would consider himself to be civilized.

For many years I seen man do things I just dont understand, like smile in each others face shake hands and walk away with intentions of unjustly taking the other ones land,with the assistance of missiles and bombs raining fire from mechanical birds from dusk till dawn,showing mercy to none killing mothers, fathers,daughters,and sons erasing lifelines.

I'm trying to tell you alot has been seen by these old wise eyes of mine."

Strange are the ways of mankind,we have a love hate relationship.When the day comes when they get something they want,with great radiance they shine, however when the day comes when they get something they dont like they become easily displeased,and curse me like I'm guilty of the greatest crime,How quickly they forget the many evils I have seen them produce with these old wise eyes of mine,if you haven't figured it out yet my name is time.

Polygany

2010-04-23T22:21:00.000-07:00

This piece came about due to an attack on polygamy in Islam that I had read. And forever these people attack Islam, one day polygamy, next day hijab, next the Hajj, next the beard, next the number children we have, how we brush our teeth, and whatever else their shaytaan inspires to them to do, it is never ending. As if someone other than Allah is to dictate to his creation what is and is not acceptable.

Hey what’s the deal with

polygany, prayer, fasting, hijab and Hajj, The beard, short thobe, long robe, and covering from head to toe, No mixing, no Music, or illicit relations

And all this talk of us being Allah’s creation

Nothing as far as I can see, why what do you mean

We don’t like it, Well, who is we?

The “civilized” is who we be

Well since that’s the case then it doesn’t matter if you like it or dislike it, honestly

Huh, you seem like such a charmer she said sarcastically!

I can’t imagine you even have a friend, let alone have a woman or bride to be

I said I didn’t know you could still imagine with your kind of fouled mentality
Here let me articulate my point a little better

It’s not about who likes what, that doesn’t matter

Its legislation that’s been legislated by the Legislator

Not by the creation but by the Creator

He is not asked what he does but you will be sooner or later

And know that this Deen wasn’t made by men it makes men!

And no I’m not a terrorist because I defend this position

Rather I hate terrorist and terrorism

And I’m not just talkin about that homemade bomb terrorism either

I’m talkin about that; I’m send a cruise missile through your roof

Destroy a children’s school and call it a terrorist compound or a goof

Terrorism

And mano amano send me your best

I’ll rip open that bullet proof vest and put a hole in his chest

And when I got that chrome to his dome I wanna hear em cry

Like the cries of a Palistienian mother that just found out her baby -that you shot- was gonna die

Like the rape of a Kashmiri sister, raped so bad she went blank

Like that brother you ran over with a 60 ton tank

And no I’m not violent I’m just physically confident

And I’m spittin at you like this because you’re mentally impotent and intellectually incompetent

And you might not understand me like;

Like I won’t bow down to blue eyes, so forever in your heart I’m despised

Like we won’t kill a man, paint him white, and call everybody to worship him type lies

Like we won’t make up a god and allege between us and him is close relation

Like the same way we won’t ever submit down to the creation

And if you were a person who thought rationally

This conversation could've gone a bit differently

For instance I would've started off with a simple inquiry

Do you seek to relieve your distress and live in everlasting bliss?

I reckon you’d say Yes!

So then this is what I’d say;

Worship your Lord and Worship him Alone

The creator of the heavens and earth, the Lord of the throne

Renounce the false speech of your ancestors or you’ll end up were they’ve gone

Keep tight the ties of kinship, the ties of the womb

Especially your Mother, don’t forget to call home

Respect always your father even after you’re grown and he’s gone

Love your sister and brother don’t let that go wrong

And give to the needy

No need to be greedy

Bring about benefit, compassion and, humanity

Don't become haughty remember to keep your humility

And the Most Gracious will reward you abundantly

Look always to Allah in hardship and ease

He will make even the hardest task seem like a breeze

Say a good word, and bring upon no harm

Command that which is right, forbid that which is wrong

Speak the truth even upon yourself, Spread no lies

And do not look upon your sins as meager flies

Rather consider them mountains ready to collapse upon you as soon as you die

And know that this Deen wasn’t made by Women, it makes them!

Flesh of a Scholar

2010-04-21T17:48:00.000-07:00

For those who backbite the Scholars of this Ummah; a warning you should heed.

It's as if he is saying

Don't you know my flesh is hard to swallow bitter poison

Yet the backbiter cannot control himself and bring this evil yearning to an end

He bites in...

As he bites down and prepares to swallow, he finds his throat has been split wide open

What a dreadful diet, a terrible appetite better than it is famine and even starvation

Fear the flesh of the scholar, for his flesh is not like yours or mine, my friend.

The above poem was inspired by this Arabic piece

أَوَ مَا عَلِمْتَ بِأَنْ لَـحْمِي عَلْقَمٌ *** مُسْتَوْبَلٌ مُسْتَوْخَمٌ مَسْمُومُ

يَشْجَى بِهِ الْـمُغْتَابُ لَيْسَ يَسِيغُهُ *** حَتَّى يَغُصَّ وَيُفْلَقَ الْبَلْعُومُ

Wassalam,

Abu Hamza

"A Summers Leaf"

2010-04-21T16:14:00.000-07:00

Majestically the suns ray becomes the theme,
A warmth coating all that lives... it is easy...
Dangling in dismay, a leaf unnoticed shades from sight.
Plucked... falls the leaf by the wind... still content.
Drifting from the abuse of the wind... its so colorful.
Tumbling gracefully with pains out of alienation...
Stillness... it is cold... this ground... and no wind.
Slowly the process begins to rot its inside...
Destruction... decay of its existence... a self implosion.
Drops of honeydew appear... dissipating 'the self'...
Struggling no more... death...

"Mommy, mommy...! Look...! It's so pretty. Can I keep it, mommy?"

Life.
