So you have sinned

So you have sinned!
Don't shout, don't scream
Don't even think
Of making a scene

Don't blame it on fate
-your miserable state
It's never too late
Start picking a date.

Today is a good start
Yes be smart
Allah accepts all repentance
Neither, it costs a cent nor a matter of expense

So you have sinned!
Allah's blessing is a shinning screen
A sincere being
Just like the very beginning with no sin

Put a right to a wrong
Yes you have to be strong
A sin prolongs
A black heart it belongs

Everyone goes through this test
Not a matter of jest
That's just being human with full of zest
But repent - don't let it rest

So you have sinned!
Allah forgives your sins
Just don't you associated Him
That's the benefit of a Muslim

In verse 8, Soorah At-Tahrim*
All is not grim
Shall we return to Him?
Without saying - O Allah forgive me I have sinned

Hope and guidance
With a sincere repentance
For a definite forbearance
Jannah is the place of acceptance

by Qalamuddin 20th March 2007

In Soorah At-Tahrim verse 8

. O ye who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere
repentance: In the hope
that your Lord will remove from you your ills and
admit you to Gardens
beneath which Rivers flow - the Day that Allah will
not permit to be
humiliated the Prophet and those who believe with
him. Their Light will
run forward before them and by their right hands,
while they say, "Our
Lord! Perfect our Light for us, and grant us
Forgiveness: for Thou hast
power over all things."

Poem for my sisters

As the blanket of night covers day
And the stars drizzle across the sky
The serene world of nature is shattered
By your deafeningly silent cry

When the albatross of loneliness engulfs you
And you cry an ocean under your bed
Know that worlds apart I weep with you
And pray you survive the path that you tread

Even though the trials and tests that you face
Are overseen by providence divine
Dear ukhti, when I heard your heart tearing apart
I would have gladly replaced it with mine

My beloved, I cannot cure your despair
I am but a human being
Know that the one who will never disappoint you
Is there; All Aware; All Seeing

As of yet I haven't fallen in love
But for Allah's sake it consumes me
May He release the shackles binding you
And grant your heart ease to be free

Free from the depth of surrounding ignorance,
And stubborn seas of arrogance they display
But one thing sis, that you're still bound to
Is my love for you each day.

MOMENTS IN LIFE

There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
But often times we look so long at the
Closed door that we don't see the one,
Which has been opened for us

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things
You want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until
You let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
You 're the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.

Muslim Holocaust

First they came for the extremist Muslims
And I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t an extremist Muslim

Then they came for the fundamentalist Muslims
And I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a fundamentalist Muslim

Then they came for the moderate Muslims
And I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a moderate Muslim

Then finally they came for me the non-practicing British Muslim
And no Muslims were left to speak out for me

Europe 2006
Resembling Germany in the 30s
Parallels are apparent and
Frightening
It could never happen in this day and age
Their would be outrage
The world over
On every front page
Say the naive and gullible

Study history
See the patterns
Jews integrated and totally assimilated in Germany
Business, economy, media, culture and inter-marriage
Thought they were Germans
Accepted at last
No more pogroms or anti-Semitic witch hunts
They couldn’t have been more wrong

After WW1
German economy and society devastated
Recession, high unemployment
Economic melt down and inflation
The whole nation
Looking for a solution and scapegoat

Enter Adolf Hitler
With simple answers to complex problems
Jewish conspiracy and Aryan superiority
Counter balance to Communism
Even funded by some Jews
Sound bites and slogans
Playing the blame game
Seducing and hypnotising the masses

Using the media and playing on peoples phobias
Creating an atmosphere and public opinion
For racist violence
Individual attacks
Accelerating to state policy
Mass arrests and imprisonment without trial
Police state
No trial by jury
Deportation and extermination

No opposition
Silent collusion
Most keep silent
Evil triumphant
Assets confiscated
World is silent

End of race on German soil
Put in camps and made to toil
Buried beneath the European soil
Forgotten people until 47

Died in showers
And gas chambers
Without a struggle or a fight
Huge number
But in self inflicted slumber
Integrated and assimilated
Road to self destruction
And eventual annihilation

Today Muslims in Britain
Successful and integrated
Business, economy, education, health service etc
We are contributing to Britain’s success and prosperity
Paying taxes
And slogging our guts and back
For below minimum pay
Our success without compromise
Leading to envy

Educating our children in madrassas and masjids
Teaching Islamic values
Respect, family, honour
And halal and haram as a criteria
To become good law abiding citizens
And not binge drinking, disrespectful, hooligan, yobs
Without jobs
But still the Politicians and media create hysteria

Attack on the veil
Convenient excuse to put Islam on trial
Attacks on Muslims
Physical and verbal
On the streets and in the masjid
Nowhere is safe from the fascists

Islam we cannot deny, compromise or leave
No matter how hard it gets

Muslims arrested and locked up
Due process suspended
By Blair the Fuehrer and Pharaoh
Bell marsh and Wood hill
Modern day Auschwitz
Anti-terror police invade Muslim women’s privacy
Kicking Qurans and asking
“Where is your God now?”
Just like the SS

Society is silent
Muslims living in denial
Thinking they are safe
Muslim MPs and Police do the dirty
For a fat salary
How they can betray their own and Allah
Is a mystery

See the parallels with Nazi Germany
Beginning of Muslim holocaust
And inquisition on European soil
Convert to secular British identity
Or the stick will be used
Multi- Cultralism abandoned
Mainstream politicians make racist slurs daily
Competing to outdo each other
BNP is silent and speechless

It’s not too late
We’re still breathing
Time for us to learn our deen
Discuss with non-Muslims
Explain and refute
The state propaganda and media lies
To reverse state policy

It’s hard but we have to try
No more hiding or living in denial
The Muslim Holocaust has begun

We either die in ignorance
Or go down fighting
With honour and dignity
And meet our lord smiling

never quit...(poem)

When the things go wrong
As they sometimes will
When the road you are trudging
Seem all uphill
When the funds are low
And the debts are high
And you want to smile
But you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down
A bit
Rest if you must
But don’t you quit.
Life is queer
With its twists and turns
As every one of us
Sometimes learns
And many a failure
Turns about
And he might have won
Had he struck it out
Don’t give up though
The pace seems slow
You may suceed
With another blow
Sucess is failure
Turned inside out
The silver tint
Of the clouds of doubt
And you be near
When it seems so far.
So stick to fight
When you are hardest hit
Its when things seem worst
Believe in Allah & must never quite.


And our Lord says:
"…..it may be that you dislike a thing and it is good for you ,and that you like a thing and it is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know."(2:216)

So, no room for despair,hope for the best ,be +ve always

"Call upon Me, I will answer you."
"And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me (trust Me-Allah is all Able) that they may walk in the right way."(Al Quran)

Need to pray for the best too

Respect to all the Muslim youth living in the west

Respect is due to the Muslim youth
Living in the west
Amidst the corruption and Liberal filth

Still true to the game
No sell out
Still Muslims

Just holding onto Islam
Is like holding a hot piece of coal
As foretold by the Prophet
You may stumble
But you refuse to fall for their lies
And become an atheist like them
No religion, No God
Just following desires
And doing what they want
Like the beasts in the jungle

Although you free mix
And got the pics
As a trophy
You know your limits
And refuse to take your girl friends virginity
Preserving her chastity
For her husband only

You may go clubbing and partying
But you refuse to drink
And get drunk
Lose control of your mind
And do things people later regret
Not even a sip
Maintaining your Islamic identity
While the non-Muslims give you funny looks
Thinking that you’re a fundamentalist and what the hell is he in a club for?
Maybe to blow himself up
But you don’t care
For their stares

Coz you know who you are
And not a damn kuffar

So respect is due to you
For holding onto Islam

You do haram knowing it’s wrong
While the non-Muslim things its right
You have intention to stop one day
While the non-Muslim think
Drinking, clubbing, sleeping around
Is what life is all about

You go to jummah and bow your head in ruku and sajdah
And make long duas and cry as you repent
For the times that you spent
With women and in bad places
As you turn your face to Mecca
While that very evening
Your desires lead you westwards
Following the crowd

But I respect you
For being true
To Islam
Not selling out and apostatising

You have good intentions
You fast and pray sometimes
More during Ramadan
Coz of the Islamic atmosphere around you
Although when u break your fast
U have a member of the opposite sex by your side
Sometimes, but I guess
Society affects us all in some way or another

Would it not be better for all of us to live in an Islamic society?
Where the rules were from the Quran and Sunnah
And it would be easy to follow Islam
Just like in this society it’s easy to follow non-Islam.

You are proud to be Muslim
And keep your Islamic name
And feel no shame
In writing Islam as your religion
And Muslim as your identity
In university and job applications

Although you know
That to be a Muslim nowadays
Means you’re discriminated against
Security checks and suspicion
Pressure to show that you’re a moderate
And not a fundamentalist

You feel the pain
As the bombs rain
Upon your brothers and sisters
In far off places
You feel angry with those Muslims who have sold out
And work for the west
In the armies and other jobs
Which aid the killing and shedding of Muslim blood

You are to be congratulated
For having
An Islamic section on your website
Among all the impropriety and sin

May Allah guide you and protect you
Coz it wasn’t your fault
That u were born and grew up in a society
With so much fitna and temptations
Where its hard to practice Islam
And be a good Muslim

Maybe one day
As you get older
And mature in your thinking
Islam in your life may be bolder
More than fasting in Ramadhan and Jummah
And you will devote your time and energies
For the pleasure of Allah your creator

What to say of this noble one

What to say of this noble one
who was born asking for his peoples forgiveness
he had the heavens and the earth at his feet
and he was a cure for every illness

he had the best character
and his example was the best
no matter how hard his enemies tried
he with flying colours passed every test

he was the king of kings
and the helper of the poor
all the people who had problems
were outside knocking on his door

he helped everyone
friends or foe
wether they came with open arms
or a sword or a bow

He was and is Alalhs Habeeb
the mercy of Allah
He is our beloved
no other than Ya Rasulallah (salala hu aley he wasalam)

Ya Allah (A poem)

Today, upon a bus,
I saw a girl with golden hair.
and wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch.
But as she passed, a smile.
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.


Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play.
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew, he couldn't hear.
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

If this poem makes you feel like I felt just
forward it to all your friends after all, it's
just a simple reminder that we have so-o-o
much to be Thankful for!!!

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

What are you to me?

You're my rainbow so high so bright,
Through the darkness my candle, my light.

My friend through thick n thin,
My smile, my laughter n my grin.

You are my guiding star, from afar,
My soul mate, that's what you are.

My walking talking dictionary,
The inspiration that I need, for my hunger for knowledge, that you feed.

You are the friend in need, the nearest,the most dearest.
You will be forever in my heart, even if we are physically apart.

Dear Allah, I thank You for this day - Poem

I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are a forgiving Allah and an understanding Allah.
You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you.
I beg now for Your forgiveness.

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so
Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.
And it's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak.
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for
others.

I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with thers.
I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank you that I believe.
I believe that Allah changes people and Allah changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households.

I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem,
circumstance, or situation greater than Allah.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it.


"Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us Mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower."
(Surah Al-Imran 3:8)

Popes speech poem

Posted by: "Showkat Ali" showkot_ali@yahoo.co.uk

Salaams All
This poem is my response to the popes speech. As usual please feel free to circulate and widely as possible as well as sending me feedback and links. Jzk in advance.

Bush, Blair and the Pope
Axis of evil
Talking abut things which are medieval
Crusade against Islam
Politicians and the clergy
United once again
With the same mentality
To destroy Islam

Three fanatical and fundamentalist Christians
Who claim to be guided by God
Even when they illegally invade Muslim countries
And kill millions

Does their God sound to you like a merciful and compassionate God?
Or does he sound like the devil himself?

Remember Pope Urban II at Clermont
The launching of the crusades
When he promised redemption for those who participated
They came murdered, raped and pillaged
But the Muslims remained strong and the disbelievers were dissipated

Masjid Al Aqsa liberated from the filth of the crusaders and terrorists
Who made this holy place into a stable for their horses
And now we see occupation once more by the Zionist beasts
Aided and abetted by the Americans and British

Today they have a foothold in Iraq and Afghanistan
But the Muslims continue to resist occupation
And the body bags keep on coming home to the west daily
While the wounded wish they were dead
Coz their Governments ignore and try to forget about them
Collateral damage no less

If you don’t know your history you aint got no future
They know their history but do we know ours?
History repeating itself
Muslims under attack once more
No hiding place not even on the net

The Pope is mad
Instead of looking at his society
And seeing and condemning immorality
Homosexuality, fornication, and child abuse
All on the rise
Even among the clergy
He focuses on Islam

Islam is the truth
And refuses to change with the times
Coz the message was sent by the creator
For all times and places
No women imams or same sex marriages will it allow or condone
Islam came to be the law of the land
And not to justify every filth and perversion

There is only one Quran
And not a new version every few years
This they can’t handle
As they launch their attacks in the name of war on terror
Which everyone knows is a war on Islam as an ideology and system for life

Oh! Crusaders keep on attacking verbally and occupying Muslim lands
Because your actions are fast forwarding the Islamic awakening
And hastening the clash of civilisations
And may Allah swt help and give victory to the Muslims as it was granted to us in the past
