His Words...

[Iffah]

Salaams...This is one of my favourite poems... I hope you enjoy it too.

 

 

In the Name of Allah begin every action

Obey, serve and worship Allah with devotion

Offer Salaah with humility an attention,

Read the Qur'an with understanding and comprehension.

 

Strive in Allah's way with Qur'anic inspiration

Let Allah's pleasure be our only aspiration

And success in the Hereafter,

Be our sole ambition.

 

Memorize Qur'anic quotations

Engage in Dhikr and Soul-Purification

Do Da'wah with wisdom,

Beautiful preaching and graceful persuasion.

 

There is no time now to relax

That we may Inshallah do in Paradise perhaps

Now be more concerned with earning Sawaab,

And maintain all norms of Hijaab.

 

In Religion there is no compulsion

At stake is your own Salvation

For the Truth stands out from error,

Make sure you do not regret later.

 

On the basis of color, wealth, or region

Let there be no distinction

In the Muslim Ummah let there be no division,

In the Qur'an will you find such injunctions.

 

Let us be One Strong United Brotherhood

Concerned about each others' welfare and good

Offering the needy and orphans food,

Over losses do not brood.

 

We follow the ways of beloved Prophet Muhammad

Sallallahu alaihi wasallam

Allah's Last and Final Messenger

The Most Sublime of all humans

The Most Exalted in Character.

 

We follow his Sunnah and Guidance

And do not cause on earth mischief or nuisance

Islam is a Religion of Peace

It's Attraction and Glory will never cease.

 

Do adopt the Islamic Way of Life

Be faithful to your husband or wife

In writing put all your contracts and agreements

Honor and keep all your promises and commitments.

 

Life after death is a certainty

Do not treat this life with laxity

Do not indulge in frivolous gaiety

And shun all obscenity and vulgarity.

 

Islam recommends virtues

Such as Honesty, Chastity and Charity

Do good deeds with sincerity

Almighty Willing you may attain eternal felicity.

 

On usury and interest there is prohibition

On trade there is blessing and divine sanction

Be honest and fair,

In every transaction.

 

Islam is here to reign supreme

However much the mushriks may scheme

This is neither utopia nor dream,

Righteous Muslims will emerge as the Victorious Team.

 

Allah's Oneness to all we proclaim

We seek neither wealth nor any fame

Allah's Pleasure is our only aim

Glorified be His Name,

May He save us from deeds of shame

And from hell's fire and flame.

 

Aameen! Ya arhamar raahimeen.
