Islamic Poetry

.:: I am a Muslim, but 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 alright if I occasionally lie.
 Yes I practice, BUT when it suits me
Or more to the point, when it pleases society.
If I show my ankles, they'll point and laugh
They'll think it's too short and reckon I'm daft.
 If I trim my moustache and grow the beard
They'll reckon I'm a fanatic or something weird.



If I wear the sunnah I'll get great reward
But the Kuffaar will look down on me, that I can't afford.

Yes I'm a Muslim, but only by name.
I make excuses which I admit are rather lame.


Yes I'm a sane man and I'm on the right track
Who am I kidding, I feel like a right jack!

To hide my inferiority complex I protest it's unimportant
Though my heart screams to tell me I'm a blatant fraudulent
The best thing is no-one can hear what's going on inside
People think I've got it made and with my life I'm satisfied.
But I'm afraid this is a fable and it's a pure deception
I have no peace of mind but this I daren't even mention.

If I remain ignorant it's OK, 'cos then I don't have to practice
Yes I'm conniving and these are baseless evil tactics.
But I read the Kalima and I think I have Imaan
I can't help my attitude - I was placed in a Kufrstaan.

Yes I'm a Muslim, but only by name
And with my precious life I'm playing a foolish disastrous game!

.:: Sins Of The Tongue ::.
You think its cool to be a clown
And with the girls/ guys you fool around
Without a thought for your Lord
The mouth opens, tongue like a sword
With a few fast words
You cut to pieces those silly 'nerds'
They stand stunned and humiliated
In their hearts they are disgusted
While you laugh at them aloud
Standing with your friends all proud
O fellow Muslim, be careful of what you say
For soon will come Judgement day
Those whom you did wrong
Will come to Allah along
Justice they will seek
That day you will be the geek
From your good deeds they will transfer
And when you have no more left to give another
Then upon you will be placed their sins
Soon after your eternal life begins
To hellfire you will be shown
And deep inside you will be thrown
O Muslim,
Change now whilst you have the chance and time
Resolve to commit not with your tongue this crime!

..:: Who is the Greatest of Mankind? ::..
Who is the greatest of mankind?
The finest creation with the most excellent mind
The one who conveyed justice, peace and understanding
In a land with nothing outstanding
In a land full of idolatry, fornication and murder
Only one man could prove this would go no further
Sent with a message so true and pure
He possessed the knowledge which was a cure
A cure to the diseases that kills everybody’s core
The diseases of ignorance, arrogance and more

A person who never uttered a lie and was recognized as a truthful man
Where neighbors began accusing him of lying again and again
He was attacked physically and was extremely defamed
Harming the best of creation yet they did not feel ashamed
O praised one; it is not you who they do not like
It’s the beautiful message which they try to strik
So stay strong and tall
For you are the best of them all
The reassuring words gave him strength to continue on with his day
One by one, his people started converting to the right way
Until everyone around the land submitted
Submitted and repented for all the sins they committed
With just his beautiful character and amazing smile
Others would love and follow him without hesitating a while
The only man who united all in great waves
United the rich with the poor, the kings to the slaves
He brought happiness to the land until his heart beat its last
This was a death that no one will ever let pass
The earth was flooded with tears of people who dislike liked him before
And now there was no other man they loved more
Who is the greatest of mankind?
The finest creation with the most excellent mind
He is the praised one, the kind one, the beautiful one
The prophet and messenger of Al-Wahid, The One
His name is Muhammad Ibn Abdullah(s.a.w)!
May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him!

::LYRICS :: :: Like The Strong Wind ::
It blew like the strong wind;
It burst like a bright flame;
It became like a youth in its determination;
It flew like a hawk, with pride;
Welcome, my caravan;
My caravan of wisdom;
O generation of the future, let’s go;
Let’s exert ourselves and work hard;
Let’s always rise to the top;
And never accept to be less than the best;
My friends, let’s go about;
And learn different fields of knowledge;
Let’s excel in five or six;
And help a brother or sister;
Leave your laziness and slumber;

The lazy person has never succeeded;
And stop criticizing and blaming;
As Allah is the Helper of people;
Revive the glory of this Ummah;
When it was at its peak;
And brush this dark cloud away from it;
With your high aspirations…
