Bismillah
Assalamu alaikum
Not a story this time, but a poem.
Wake up to the Call of Islaam
by Nizaam Hussain
O Muslims, wake up to the call of Islaam
O muslims, search your heart for the true Imaan
Is your Salaat, Zakaat, Sawm, Hajj what it should be?
If so, then why are you in so much difficulty?
Nay, but you have not understood the depth of Imaan
Nay, but you have not understood the teachings of the Qur'aan
Has He not made you the best of creation?
Has He not fulfilled your wants without your supplication?
Think and Ponder
Surely, He will make you wonder
Is your love for Him alone?
Is your fear for Him alone?
Nay, but you have falsified, and loved and feared every other created soul
Is your trust in Him alone?
Is your obedience to Him alone?
Nay, but you have falsified, you trusted and obeyed those that use you the most
Look around you, slaughter, slander and rape
When they come to your door, just like death, they won't wait
No entreaty of vow can be taken except Allah's alone
Love Him, fear Him, trust Him, obey Him, and fight for Him
Surely He will put you on the throne.
