Business_Man Posted January 10, 2004 This came from a wonderful sister who I happen to be friends with. Remember to take this seriously as it will help you in akhira: An Excellent poem about the Muslim Woman. What do you see when you look at me Do you see someone limited, or someone free <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> All some people can do is just look and stare Simply because they can't see my hair <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> Others think I am controlled and uneducated They think that I am limited and un-liberated <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> They are so thankful that they are not me Because they would like to remain 'free' <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> Well free isn't exactly the word I would've used Describing women who are cheated on and abused <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> They think that I do not have opinions or voice They think that being hooded isn't my choice <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> They think that the hood makes me look caged That my husband or dad are totally outraged <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> All they can do is look at me in fear And in my eye there is a tear <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> Not because I have been stared at or made fun of But because people are ignoring the one up above <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> On the day of judgment they will be the fools Because they were too ashamed to play by their own rules <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> Maybe the guys won't think I am a cutie But at least I am filled with more inner beauty <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> See I have declined from being a guy's toy Because I won't let myself be controlled by a boy <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> Real men are able to appreciate my mind And aren't busy looking at my behind <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> Hooded girls are the ones really helping the muslim cause The role that we play definitely deserves applause <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> I will be recognized because I am smart and bright And because some people are inspired by my sight <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> The smart ones are attracted by my tranquility In the back of their mind they wish they were me <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> We have the strength to do what we think is right Even if it means putting up a life long fight <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> You see we are not controlled by a mini skirt and tight shirt We are given only respect, and never treated like dirt <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> So you see, we are the ones that are free and liberated We are not the ones that are sexually terrorized and violated <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> We are the ones that are free and pure We're free of STD's that have no cure <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> So when people ask you how you feel about the hood Just sum it up by saying 'baby its all good' <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> I hope U enjoy reading it and Babe Girls Allah Takecare Of U all, Stay Free and best of all stay muslims.

- Femme - Posted January 19, 2004 In the Name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Merciful Object of Despair A poem by Fahim Firfiray (Abu Omar) Emma is a lawyer And so is Aisha too Colleagues going into court At circa half past two Its 1 O'clock right now They grab a bite before the trial They chat about this and that Conversing with a smile Aisha is in full hijab With a loose all over suit Emma's in her business wear With accessories to boot Emma's really quite bemused At Aisha's godly ways She looks Aisha in the eyes And very firmly says You're a smart girl Aisha Why do you wear that across your hair? Subjugated by "man"-kind An object of despair Take it off my sister Let your banner be unfurled Don't blindly follow all around DECLARE YOUR FREEDOM TO THE WORLD Aisha is amazed But not the least bit shy She bravely puts her milk shake down And gives Emma the reply My dear sister Emma, Why do you dress the way you do? The skirt you're wearing round your waist, Is it really you? Now that we've sat down, I see you tug it across your thighs, Do you feel ashamed? Aware of prying eyes? I see the way you're sitting, Both legs joined at the knees, Who forces you to sit like that? Do you feel at ease? I'll tell you who obliges you, To dress the way you do, Gucci, Klein and St. Laurent, All have designs on you! In the main, its men my friend, Who dictate the whims of fashion, Generating all the garb, To incite the basest passion "Sex Sells" there is no doubt, But who buys with such great haste, The answer is the likes of you, Because they want to be embraced...... They want to be accepted, On a level playing field Sure, with brain and intellect But with body parts revealed Intelligence and reason Are useful by and by But if you want to make a mark Stay appealing to the eye You claim your skirt is office like A business dress of sorts Would we not laugh at Tony Blair If he turned up in shorts? His could be the poshest pants Pinstripe from Saville Rowe But walking round like that my friend He'd really have to go Why do you douse yourself with creams To make your skin so milky? Why do rip off all your hair To keep your body silky? A simple shower's all you need To stay respectable and clean The time and money that you spend Is really quite obscene Why do you wake up at dawn, To apply a firm foundation, Topped with make up and the like, In one chaotic combination? And if you should have to leave the house Devoid of this routine Why do you feel so insecure That you should not be seen? Be free my sister Emma Escape from your deep mire Don hijab today my friend And all Islam's attire Avoid all those sickly stares Or whistles from afar Walk down the street with dignity Take pride in who you are Strength lies in anonymity Be a shadow in the crowd Until you speak and interact When your voice will carry loud You're a smart girl Emma Wear this across your hair Don't be subjugated by "man"-kind An object of despair To use your very words my friend Let your banner be unfurled Don't blindly follow all around DECLARE YOUR FREEDOM TO THE WORLD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
