est'3firullah..i 4got 2 add this 1...i thought i'd add it last cuz its ma only fav out of all ma poems...:)

ma first attempt at arabic+english poetry....including Ayaat from tha Holy Qur'aan...

Dear Muslim brothers & sisters, why have we become so weak?

Why are we letting ourselves be led astray from Allaah by Shaytaan's beats?

There was a time when we used to wake up to the Athaan

But now, unfortunately, we wake up to اغاني و الحان

Dear Muslim brothers, when the Masaajid cry out to you

Why don't you drop everything you're doing and purify yourself by وضوء?

Dear Muslim sisters, why do we take our صلوت so lightly?

Just because it's not obligatory on us to pray in Masaajid, we delay them defiantly?!

Whatever happened to "إنا الصلاة كانت على مؤمنين كتابا موقوتا"

It seems like Shaytaan has wrapped us up so tightly, we can't obey or Lord either

"و ما خلقت الإنس و الجن إلإ ليعبدون"

Why is that we pay no heed to that, knowing our life may end soon?

We're being exposed to music while fetuses in our mothers' wombs

Slowly, Shaytaan's leading us to the path of destruction & doom

Endless are his whispers, he relentlessly makes us doubt,

Countless aspects in Islam, because his mission's to drive us out

From the beautiful Gardens of Jannah, just as he deceived

(آدم و حوا (عليهم السلام and he's vowed to succeed

NOW...as innocent Muslim blood is being shed globally

No one gives a damn as they live their fantasies

Haraam, Halaal, Makrooh...they don't really care

As long as their desires are fulfilled, they pretend they don't see or hear

Where are the men who will fight عدو الرحمن

Unfortunately, we only see the Army of Shaytaan

But I still have hope that our brothers & sisters are hidden from our sight

There are still those who work by day & worship their Lord by night

Alhamdulillaah, Islam is still spreading like wild-fire

The Kuffaar are left bewildered, n with fear they perspire

They SEEM victorious for now, but that's only for show

Reality is, they can't sleep at night as they're worrying about 'tomorrow'

As they brutally murder our brothers & rape our sisters

They brainwash us successfully…only SOME can tell they're tricksters

The rest of us blindly believe what we're constantly fed by the media

But about the REAL situations we have NO IDEA

This is a desperate cry to all the brothers & sisters

Those of who are still trapped by Shaytaan & his believers

PLEASE arise from your slumber before it's too late

PLEASE open your eyes before FORBIDDEN ON YOU become Jannah's Gates...
