Muslim Only by Name

I am a muslim but only by name
when it comes to practicing, what a shame!
I go to friends and relatives in suit and tie
it’s all right if i occasionally lie.
yes i practice but when it suits me
more to the point ,when it pleases the society.
if i show my ankles, they’ll point and laugh
they’ll think it’s too [...]

Fast or Feast?

C’mon its time to pray
Magrib time is moving away
Just wait Im almost done
Please just 1 more savory bun
Remember Salaatul Awaabeen
An opportunity for us to strengthen our Deen
Just 6 Rakaats, hardly much pain
And 12 years sawaab to your name
Just wait! My samoosas are running away
Don’t forget I was fasting the whole long day!
Some time for [...]

The Real Orphan

Posted on August 4th, 2009 by by Ahmed

The real orphan is unruly
 yet he thinks he acts coolly
He loves to rant and rave;
 is it attention he craves?
Who has produced one so errant?
 surely it is the hopeless parent!
The father too busy in the shop
 the mother buying another shapely top!
 
The parents cares for him not
 letting him to lie and rot
If one has to about him [...]

The purpose of Life

Posted on July 9th, 2009 by by Ahmed

What is the purpose of this life?
Money, holidays, a beautiful wife?
There is no point in us denying
Each heart beat brings us closer to dying
You’ll breathe your last
Your life will have past
Don’t pretend
Death’s not the end
You will taste death, death never waited
Look around you, everything’s created
It has a creator, it has a meaning
A mother gives birth [...]

O’ you who love to party and rave
Remember one day you will go to the grave
Friends and guys wanna be in your ‘crew’
Remember the darkness and loneliness of the grave awaits you
Fashion and clothes you love to adorn
Remember the day will come to sound the horn
Raised up will be the whole of mankind
Our deeds [...]

So brothers and sisters, to increase your iman
Read the miracle, read the Quran
Here’s a fact for the ones who are keener
92 surahs revealed in Mecca, 22 in Medinah
Read it every day and to read it be proud
The word Quran means to read it aloud
Read the book from the Lord of the worlds
Over 6,000 verses and [...]

Divine Wonder

Posted on March 9th, 2009 by by Ahmed

Quench spirit’s thirst
Satisfy soul’s hunger
Read the noble Quran
Be a part of divine wonder
It has wisdom in orders
It has knowledge in stories
Peace is its message
Having solution to worries
With its beam wants do not wander
With its shadow tongues do not waver
Countless are its benefits
A witness of Allah’s favor
Read it once, twice or thrice
It never loses its freshness
Strange [...]
