Palestine's Tears


Imagine someone intruded into your home,
Ripped your furniture, threw out your clothes,
You'd say:That's called break in theft, isn't that what it shows? Then what if they beat you, abused your children, and raped the women of your home,
You'd say:That's called physical and sexual assult (your ... Continue Reading

Pity Me Not


Pity me not
For the clothes I wear
Nor for the scarve
That covers my hair Pity me not
For my black garb
My modest air
My humble heart.

Pity me not
For my lack of speech
B/c my silent voice
Can always find a heart to reach.

Pity me not
For my Muslim name
It is the sign of my honor
And the ...

Nor is it oppressing women and racism.
Islam doesn't ...

Why the Shame ?!


Poem written by :Maryam Elbenhawy

I'm eyeballed from head to toe
I notice this everywhere I go
I look different because I am so
I am a Muslim, and that's for you 
To know...
I cover myself, including my face
Others may see it as strong faith
I follow what the Quran says, and
desire ...

Choice


Poem written by: Maymoonah MS Adly

I see you doing wrong, 
You say you're not so strong, 
To fight against shaytan. 
Your evil desires drag you along. 
Mankind and jinn have one thing in common. 
They differ from Allah's other creation. 
The animals, trees, birds, bees and ...

The Simple Garment


Poem written by : Nargis Rahman (England)
I am a Muslim,

A proud Muslim,

A lady with strong beliefs,

Why should I hide that fact?

Don't care what people think,

I will still hold my head high,

I will still walk with ...

In His name we live

Birds and animals usher in the times of prayer

The End

I barely knew him, I have seen him in the mosque for some days at different times and for many others I have not. I warmly greeted him and I was keen to know him. Until one day after Al-'Asr (noon prayer), I stood chatting with a colleague outside the mosque while he was coming. He greeted him ... Continue Reading
