Trials and Tribulations

I pondered upon the other gender, Their mind: different than ours, And their heart: different too! Yet, when listening about the best: Asya, Maryam, Aisha, and Fatema, We are told more than differences, Letters from Qur’an and Sunnah Unite to produce peaceful articles About worshipping Allah alone Without any associates producing Inner peace and total tranquillity. Today, however, I have seen many Copy the great appearances that The best of women wore like the Niqab, and yet, their inner pearl Darkened and produced wild Storms full of electrostatic forces That will always affect the others In numerous social gatherings; Unfortunately, those have not Yet understood Islam in its full And simple message that the Prophet Mohammad, Peace, Blessings, and Prayers be upon Him, preached day and night. “And we have not sent you But a mercy to all mankind”. And I say this one more time, Islam is what we have received From the Qur’...

Regrets in Silence

Hammer banging nails on the wall, Words of wisdom listing the wanted, A reward for whoever finds peace, Another culprit is stuck on the wall, This time his name is even longer, There is even a description attached, “Dead or Alive” swarming the city, Guilty murderous chaotic outcasts, Villagers closing doors and windows, Mothers hushing their crying child, Fathers putting the candles out, Law-abiding citizens turned evil? A new mayor has been elected, The law is once again enforced, And each one has been jailed, Questioned for their reasons, Even if beyond comprehension, 'Tell me why on earth did you do it?' 'Did you have a terrible childhood?' 'Were you tortured or forced into it?' 'Were you depressed or mentally ill?' Copious excuses were created, For the purpose of being pardoned, Yet this particular peculiar person, Who kept staring cluelessly at the sky, His eyes indicating all hope is lost, ...

Praise to the One

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, Other than whom there is no deity, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence, Other than whom there is no deity, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Other than whom there is no deity, the Most High, the Most Great, Other than whom there is no deity, the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, Who in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent, Who in whose hand is goodness, and He is over all things competent, To Him is due all praise throughout the heavens, And to Him is due all praise throughout the earth, And to Him is due all praise what is between them, And to Him is due all praise in every era, And to Him is due all praise in every tongue, And to Him is due all praise in every time and second, He is praised by what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil, Those who carry the Throne and those around it exalt with pr...

Heroes of the Past

Our ancient heroes are long dead but still remembered, They carved history by showing us what real men are, And thus we want to create them into a fierce friend, But soon -so soon I can’t- with others being replaced, Maggots squirm at rotten meats amid notes of dinar, In front of the devout true words spoken to pretend, While Time has exposed them the colours of despair, Abyss for homes and in darkness they forever stare, The mirage destroyed their pathetic souls beyond repair. First and foremost our amazing messenger Mohammad,        Lord of the lords showing him heavy powerful Word,       Sacrificing everything for the sake of Allah’s religion,       Against his uncles, his tribe, his people, and his town,       Leaving everything behind migrating to AlMadeenah,       His words and actions are incomparable to any man, ...

For Friends in Sydney

Australia is really really far now that I think about it, And Time today tasted different than few years back, Walk on! Walk on and use a limb to grab a dream, And speak to yourselves about a whole new world, Where poverty’s grave is dug deep below Earth, Where humans have time to share their wounds, For some reason I cannot see it happening today, Not when money engulfed the minds of geniuses, Not when the oppressed were forever silenced, And definitely not when people took a blind eye. I do not know whether this should be emotional, Or whether it should be about pain and conflict, As I look at humanity should I be more optimistic? I have made my first impression with you years ago, It will be reinforced or changed with this poem, And I might have not gone to places I should have, And I might have gone to places I should not have, But I hope you cherish the moments we did share, Though in time, a day as ancient as today will arrive, At ou...
