History is muddled,
Theories and ideologies are trembling,
New technologies are being introduced,
And the rate of development is lightning fast!
Man is trying to pierce the skies,
Yet the future is still insecure.
Who will lead humanity?
Who will tell us what’s right—
What’s wrong?
Who will guide us towards
The true, straight path,
The path without u-turns—
The path leading to success?
It is the divine book.
Our beloved Lord has written it for us
And saved it in a holy tablet.
Graceful angels keep it in their pious hands;
Each word is protected by them.
Each word opens rusted doors in minds and souls.
Each word is like a pleasant breeze
That blows stone hearts tender.
It is free from painful doubts.
Those of us who are astray use the holy book as an adornment.
We keep it in a velvet cover on our bookshelves
And feel proud when others regard it with admiring eyes.
We move rosary beads in front of it.
We show how respectful and pious we are.
We recite it daily.
But our voices lift in vain
If we are unaware of its teachings.
This holy book encloses a sea of knowledge,
From insects moving in the soil to birds flying in the sky,
From how to live to how to die.
Its knowledge is for everyone
And it shows the path
Straight to righteousness.
If we want to understand what has been written in it
We must soften our hearts and sow the seeds of faith.

Sa ir loved it
JazakAllah Khair beloved sis for your poem, It inspired me to write, something that I didn’t do in years. Bi’iznillah if you don’t mind… Can I share it with everyone here?
….
I call to the Mercy of Allah O my beloved Muslimeen.
You surely are walking away from the Call of As-Saadiq al Ameen!
He lived and died to bring us from pitch darkness to the glowing light
but today we insist that we are well off without any light!
How careless have you become O Ummah of Nabi
and how shallow you have made Islam my Ukhti?
How could the colorful piece of cloth on your head
with your skinny jeans and a 6 inch heel… ever be the Hijab?
How modest Allah expects us to be…
How dignified and bashful were the Umm ul Mumineen!
Is it that you don’t know the truth
or have you forgotten that Allah is All Aware of what you do?
Where are my brothers, when the Imam starts his prayer
“Allahu Akbar”?
Have you been listening to the Adhaan lately?
I am sure you have been doing just that. Listening.
But when are you Responding??!
Is it that the Ummah “dies” when it is Fajr?
Having its best sleep ever?
Just a handful of slaves are found in prayers
How and when will you wake up my brothers and sisters?
We have developed love for the “celebrity” devils and deeds that are evil
SubhanAllah, their names are not even worth mentioning.
I’m sure you find their music and movies relaxing
because that’s how low you have dragged yourself…your intimates are the shayateen.
We have the most beautiful Masaajid today that time ever saw
But how beautiful are the ‘Aabideen?
My young brothers sit late night smoking at its entrances.
How ugly have we become Ya Muslimeen?
Turn back to Allah, Repent to Him
Beg Him, Glorify Him
Fear Him, Love Him
And Submit to Him
And you will find Him to be Ghafoorur Raheem!!

“Say, O My servants who have transgressed against themselves!
Do not despair of the Mercy of Allah. Verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
[az-Zumar 39:53]
Masha Allah, it is beautiful poem sister.
Mashallah, Heart touching, O Allah Make us the very Good Muslims. Amin Ya RabulAlamin.
Beautiful MAshaAllah
