This is a piece written by my best friend. She wrote it in an e-mail and sent it to all Muslims we know here in the US. She wanted to remind them who they r and to make them realize what they are doing to reflects on other people who r non-muslims. I am really proud of her that’s why I wanted to share her work with everyone. Hope u like it.

We dream of being millionaires
With publicity and fame,
Trending up with the latest fashion
Making money all the same.
We dont ever stop to think
But throw away good food,
Making our eyes bigger than our stomach
Saying 'were not in the right mood.
We don't make a single dua'a
Just to lift our hands to pray,
But sit in front of the T.V.
Every-night and every-day.
We dont bother to read the Qura'an
Saying ' I dont have time for that,'
'I've got better things to do,'
'Like go to the cinema or chat!'
'Who cares to give Zakaah' we debate,
'Others will look after the poor,'
'I'd rather go to America,
'The Statue of Liberty is worth looking at!'
STOP AND THINK RIGHT NOW!!!
'What am i doing in my life?'
'Am i a Muslim with faith?'
'We'd better change our ways of living,
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!'

Dear brothers and sisters. I am soooooooooooooo sorry about this mistake. Yesterday I was talking with my friend who I put her name under the poem. She told me that she didn't write it and that she got it from a website. She told me that she even had the link 2 this website on the e-mail she sent me with the poem. I am soooooooooooooo sorry I didn't c that link. Plz forgive me and inashllah next time I will be careful.

Salaam Alaikum!
If there's anything in the literary department that I simply cannot handle, it is poetry. However, that poem struck me in multiple ways, dynamically. It just sinks down and grits out what I (among others) have been trying to utter for some time now. I hope more Muslims will use poetry to an Islamic advantage and take the step in the way that this sister (If I am correct) has done. Job well done!
