Peace And Love For Palestine

 How can there be peace?

When the Palestinians

Are dying and the little

Children are crying and

For harmony's sake

It's justice we seek

Not pain and heartache

And to ensure that rightness

Takes its peak

How can there be

Peace when Palestinians 

Are sadly dying and my heart is crying

And I feel there pain and

Equality for all is meant

And I care for the suffering 

And the dying

So everyone reach into your

Hearts and your souls

And pray for Palestine today 

And may there be peace and justice

And let all the hatred be 

Forever turned into love and peace.

Muhammad (saws)
What a year was 570 AD
A person was born, a prophet to be
Muhammed (saws) that was his name
People were misguided and that’s when he came

He would go on to leave all the idols behind
He is an example to the whole of mankind
Rabbi al Awwal, in it was a day
He came to this world to show us the way

He was born in Mecca , the holiest place
A life full of challenges he was to face
Abdullah, his father, had by then passed away
Leaving Amina, his mother, in her arms he lay

Haalima Sadia took over his care
Until he was six, our prophet was there
His mother then died, he was left all alone
Abdul Muttalib, his grand-dad then made him his own

When our prophet was nine, his grandfather died
Abu Talib, his uncle, became his new guide
In his 20′s,a merchant Muhammed (saws) became by trade
Al-Amin,(the trustworthy) became his grade

Khadija(ra)aged 40, became his bride
He was 25, with her by his side
To the poor, she gave away all her wealth
A dedicated wife in sickness and health

360 idols in the Kaaba, there were at that time
Our prophet realised that this was a crime
He would go to mount Hira, leaving behind his wife
Reflecting and wondering about the meaning of life

Whilst thinking there in the midst of the night
He heard a loud voice which filled him with fright
It was the angel Jibrail(as) who asked him to read
Our prophet couldn’t and didn’t take heed

The angel embraced him and then asked him later
Read, Read in the name of the Creator
Who created man from a drop of blood
Our prophet couldn’t read but at that time he could

Our prophet rushed to the path straight ahead
He heard a voice from the heavens which said
Muhammed(saws) truly you are the messenger of God
Muhammed (saws) was scared and thought this quite odd

‘Praise be to God’ his wife said instead
”I know you’ve been chosen as God’s messenger’ she said
And thus Khadija (ra) became the first woman of islam
And over the next 23 years came the revelation, the Quran

He preached to all people, every creed, every race
Yet so many hardships he had to face
There were fears for his life, then the hijrah took place
He entered Medina, by the Almighty’s grace

He was greeted by the Ansaris who were not like the others
they treated the muhajirs like their very own brothers
Then came the battles, fought face to face
Then the conquest of Mecca, Muhammed (saws)’s birthplace

An Nasr was revealed, it’s message was clear
Muhammed (saws) knew that his time was near
Everyone gathered to hear his last speech
little did they know how far Allah’s message would reach

Muhammed (saws) gave us the miracle, the Quran
And now a 1/4 of the world follow Islam
He is our role-model, the best of mankind
And has left the Quran and his Sunnah behind

Read the Quran as much as you can
The words of Allah(swt) for the guidance of man
And follow our prophet’s sunnah, when eating and dressing
And send him salutations and many a blessing

He came to mankind to show us the way
And Insha-Allah, we’ll meet him, we’ll meet him one day

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

O' Ibrahim, Allah says in his Book: (which means)

"Call upon me in supplication I will answer your call" all of us supplicate to him and he does not answer our supplication.

 You exposed the peoples faults and hid your own

I’m striving to find a better way,
This is my Jihad.
I’m surviving but regret remains,
This is my Jihad.
I’ve suffered loss and lavished gain,
This is my Jihad.
I’ve had the pleasure and felt the pain,
This is my Jihad.
Hungry, thirsty, need some rain,
This is my Jihad.
Restless, struggling to keep it sane,
This is my Jihad.
Fitnas deep, heart feels the strain,
This is my Jihad.
Mountains steep, it’s time to train,
This is my Jihad.
Falsehood complex, but the truth is plain,
This, is my Jihad.

Knowledge is...

 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

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.

-Samiha Shaheed

Their way leads to unhappiness

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.
