Islam is a religion that instructs harmony,
Among all nations and tribes of humanity,
None better than the other except in piety,
From Adam and Hawwa, we’re all progeny.

We each come from a tribe or a nation,
To which we belong and trace our origin.
It gives us a sense of who we are,
And through it, we recognize … Continue Reading

Maryam, the best woman of her generation.
Attained siddiqiya — a lofty station.
Although not a prophet that’s sent to a nation,
She set an example of religious perfection.

Allah ﷻ the Almighty chose her for His service,
Her virtue was distinct, her devotion conspicuous.
Her faith was resolute, it fueled her toughness,
A second time, He chose her as … Continue Reading

’Tis the story of a prophet
One of firm resolve.
The example of his da’wah,
And his obstinate people.

Close to a thousand years, he
Lived and preached among them.
Every waking hour he spent,
Warning and calling on them.

The Prophet Nuh,
A precedent for du’aat.
His message was crystal clear,

After centuries of Roman oppression,
The air of Al-Aqsa finally hinted at end of occupation!

The flag of Islam was soon to be held.

Most of my people live in Gaza,
So many memories of fun and laughter,
But, oh! Why do I only see rubble splintered?
Perhaps, the bombs must have fallen here!

The … Continue Reading

3000 years ago, the Jews say,
It was home to the Temple Mount,
Built by King Solomon;
A narrative, they often recount.

They say it’s justification
For excavating and encroaching,
The illegal settlers have been
Recklessly colonizing.

No! How could they?
They are only settlers there.
It was Palestinians who welcomed^[1]
Ibrahim, their forefather.

They are too busy … Continue Reading

The father curses and rebukes his son,
Threatens to stone his own blood,
To burn him alive with the people he teamed,
Oh, the patience of Ibrahim!

Catapulted and thrown into the air,
In front, the huge fire raged.
Behind, his people awaited his death,
Oh, the patience of Ibrahim!

In a situation this precarious,
All that he said, “Sufficient … Continue Reading
