A Soldier's Prayer

Oh Lord, when I go out to war

I must know what I’m fighting for

I’ve left my family behind, my friend

Lord, please let me see my little

ones again

Oh Lord, for freedom, justice and truth

Is everything to me

And I have peace and in this I believe that

When I go out on the battlefield

I know that life and death is for real

Oh Lord, I know while in  Afghanistan and Iraq

I might not come back

So  if I die in battle and this is a possibility too

Oh, Lord, today I make my peace with you

Take care of my family and my little ones

Remember my daughters and my sons

May I always be remembered even when I’m gone

Oh, Lord, please let my comrades make it home

Lord, when I went out to war

I knew what I was fighting for

I left my family behind, my friend

Lord, please don’t let America fall

We have come too far

 We have sacrificed it all

Changes

The greatest fear of humanity is change.  If we all want to make a difference in the world

And have a future for every boy and girl, we must change.

We must change the way we feel, we think

We must change the way we work, we will, lest we shrink

To the basest of humanity through constant insanity

The change must begin with me and with you.

Now, tell me what are you willing to do?

If I Were You....

If  I  Were You…

If I were you and you were me, where would you want to spend eternity?

If I were you and you were me, what would your very last words be?

If I were you and you were me, what would you leave to your family?

If I were you and you were me, what would you do to save yourself?

If I were you and you were me, what would you do if you could control death?

If I were you and you were me what would you do if you are the only one left?

Diary Of A Dignified Diva

Diary of the Dignified Diva

Before Islam, I didn’t care…

about how short were my skirts  or how stylish was my hair

Before Islam, I didn’t care…

about how painted was my face or how men would sometimes stare

Before Islam, I didn’t care…

About how tight were my clothes or if someone could see my underwear

But as I embraced this deen, I began to understand that a righteous woman

is dignified and clean.

A righteous woman is known for what is in her mind and not her body.

A dignified diva-I am –and not to be called a hotty.

So I cover myself modestly from head to toe.

I know that Allah is watching you know.

A dignified diva,  the real covered girl- a muslim woman-

the most beautiful woman in the world.

Oh Palestine-By Shelia Chughtai

Oh Palestine-By Shelia Chughtai

Oh Palestine!

Oh Palestine!

How could the entire world be so blind?

All the fighting, battling and bloodshed

The very same place were Esa crucifed and bled

Oh Palestine!

Oh Palestine!

How could the entire world be so blind?

Many innocent lives tragically gone

Fighting in the Holy Land-what went wrong?

Remember here in the west when the settlers killed off the Indians

This is what is happening to the Palestinians.

Oh Palestine!

Oh Palestine!

How could the entire world be so blind?

If a muslim army tried to defend you and your land

Would the world see you differently, would it really understand?

Oh Palestine!

Oh Palestine!

How could the entire world be so blind?

If colonialism, apartheid, and slavery is supposedly gone

Then why is there fighting in the Holy Land-what went wrong?
