When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I'm not shouting " down with Christians and Jews."
I am whispering "I seek peace," and Islam is the path that I choose.
When I say. . . I am a Muslim,
I speak of this with pride.
And confess that sometimes I stumble, and need Allah to be my guide.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I know this makes me strong.
And in those times when I am weak, I pray to Allah for strength to carry on.
When I say. . . I am a Muslim,
I'm not boasting of success.
I'm acknowledging that Allah has rescued me, and I cannot ever repay the
debt.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are indeed visible, but Allah forgives because his followers are
worth it.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
it does not mean I will never feel pain.
I still have my share of heartaches, which is why I invoke Allah's name.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I do not wish to judge.
I have no such authority. My duty is to submit to Allah's all-encompassing
love. |

MAD.
I know you misunderstood the poem. That is why you like it. May be you think it serves your line of thought. Which part did you like most?. The no "judging part"?. Or the no "Perfect part"?. Islam doesn't teach people to accept the wrong but to reject it. You call that judging people. We tell you if you are out of line with islam. How about the "I am not perfect" part?. Did you like that as well?. Okey! it means, as a human being no one is perfect. But it doesn't mean islam in not perfect. Anything apart form islam as religious ideology and teaching, is wrong and unacceptable. Let me know, other lines of the peom that you think helps your thinking and I will straighten them out for you. |

formerguest...was that for the sake that you wanted to write something or what!!
the guy just said he likes the poem. when someone says he likes a poem (like the above one..which i myself think is nice) i think your lecture is indeed out of line!!!
peace... |

Assalam alaikum brothers and sisters,
inshallaah i hope that you read this message in the very best of your iman and health. I’m sure that you are all aware of the fact that inshallaah the holy month of Ramadan is coming up, a chance for us to worship Allaah (swt) and give up our wrong ways. As Muslim brothers and sisters we should spend every day as if it’s our last. Inshallaah I will try to put my knowledge to use so that it can help non-practising Muslims in this case Somalis. If anyone feels that they need to know anything inshallaah relating to Islam, feel free to ask me. At the moment I’m working on a website with some brothers from Kuwait so inshallaah I’ll give people the website address as soon as it is finish. In the mean time I’ll leave the address for a very beneficial website. It’s very authentic and got the go ahead from the best of the scholars. It contains everything from basics to higher depth of knowledge. As a Muslim sister I advice you all to check it out because there many Islamic websites that can misguide you. many Muslims today don’t look back to the Qur’aan and Sunnah of our beloved prophet(saw) or the might just use the qur’aan not knowing that the sunnah is also a revelation from Allah (swt). I advice you dear brothers and sisters to be careful from who you take your knowledge from when it comes to Islam. Know that people would quote an Ayat of Qur’aan, give their own understanding. Reject authentic Hadith not knowing the sight behind that Hadith. Will act and accept weak Hadith and because of a particular way that we’re following we say that this Hadith is Seheeh (meaning authentic). The reason why I give people this advice is that there would still or always be individuals amongst the community still rejecting and refuting without evidence. When you quote an Ayat of Qur’aan understand the meaning and tafseer of this Qur’aan from the people of knowledge. When you read a Hadith know it to be authentic from the people of Hadith not from yourself. Know that Islam is not what your father, friends or country says but islam is the Qur’aan and Sunnah. As Muslim brothers and sisters we should not be affected by the kufr society but be the ones that affect that society. Know that a person who grows up practising Islam from a young age will enter paradise. I really hope that you take this honest advice from me inshallaah. Remember that this day could be a witness for you or witness against you on the day of judgement. The address of the website is as follows:
www.salafipublications.com
inshallaah I surely hope that you enjoy looking though this website, it has many excellent features which you would benefit from. It also has other authentic websites linked to it.
Till next time take care, inshallaah.
Sister fatimah.
Wasalam. |
