[Changed]

I saw this poem on a website thought i should share it .......

============

I am a Muslim

==============

I am a Muslim

And God I praise

For all His blessings

My voice I raise

In one God I believe

No equal has He

Lord of the universe

Compassionate to me

Muhammad the prophet

Taught me the way

To be honest and truthful

Throughout every day

The holy Qur'an

To life is my guide

It's teachings I follow

By it I abide

Islam my religion

Preaches good deeds

Mercy and kindness

To the right path it leads

Upon all humanity

God showers His grace

Regardless of colour

Nationality or race

Through working together

Our hopes increase

To live in a world

Full of love and peace

I am a Muslim

And God I praise

For all His blessings

Myvoice I raise.....

The Scarf

By: Nura Alia Hossainzadeh

 

They stand there with shorts, so short, excessively short,

shorts that so deceptively capture from them all they know

of modesty...

 

...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair

 

They stand there, face lost in a sea of make-up,

make-up that so ruthlessly captures from them all they know

of freedom...

 

...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair

 

They stand there, hair raining with gels, colors -

chemicals that so menacingly capture from them all they know

of purity...

 

...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair

 

They stand there, so close, so very close to their "lover",

devoted to them, the devotion that so mercilessly captures

from them all they know of individuality...

 

...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair

 

And they stand there, talking of getting new shorts, new gels

and colors, new boyfriends, materialistic things

that so wrongfully capture from them all they know

of God and love...

 

...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair

 

For my scarf is my protector, my lover, my devotion,

my pureness, my beauty, my rememberance of God,

 

And I proudly pull it over my hair knowing that when I wear it,

I so rightfully thrust away all the things that the devil

brought about,

 

And when I put it on, I am

 

Free...
