[Eemaan]

A is for Allah

Lord of the Universe, who is One,

He made the earth, stars, and sun

He made angels to worship and pray,

He made man from a dab of clay.

Bilal is that tall, brave African man,

Islam freed him and gave him iman

Calling the Muslims to come and pray,

Was his duty each night and day.

Better than the jewels in a crown

Laughing or crying, short or tall,

Allah loves children, one and all.

By giving Him our thanks and praise

Thank Allah with "Al-Hamdulillah"

Is in the heart of the believing man

Will come from his lip and hand,

Love for Allah pouring out like sand.

God's garden of joy, peace, and love,

The home for Muslim's souls above

The path to this heavenly place

Give to Allah the praise that is due

We worship and pray five times a day,

Because we know it is the best way.

By Ibrahim and Isma'il the stones were laid

Millions of believers from every race,

Come for Hajj tot his extra special place.

Don't waste it, he knows what you do

Don't chase pleasure or forget Allah,

No matter how little, say "Al-Hamdulillah.

Peace be upon him, Abdullah's son,

From Allah's enemies he did not run

Of all the Prophets he was the last,

Islam his message which we hold fast.

Peace be upon him, a Prophet who was very good,

Allah told him to build an ark, fast as he could

Take pairs of animals and the believers-all,

The flood was coming and the waves would be tall!

It is the duty of each Muslim to obey,

The Qur'an and the Sunnah all the way

Go for Hajj, give Zakah, fast, and pray,

And to your parents do not say, "Nay!"

It is the cornerstone of Muslim life,

And the devil it cuts like a knife

Prayer five times a day is a must,

In it Allah's message you will find

Of all His messages it is the last,

Perfect for present, future, and past.

Pray and read Qur'an, to heaven this leads.

Read them and trust in Al-Rahman,

Do you know ten of them that you can say?

Knowing them will help you pray.

Because by Allah we are always seen

Whenever you hear the call of athan,

Prepare and come pray as soon as you can.

So we'll not waste much of your time

In higher math X is hard to find,

But Allah's path is clear even to the blind.

Peace be upon him, a good man in a wicked town,

He ran to the sea and a whale gobbled him down

By the mercy of Allah he was saved to tell,

His people to become good and obey Allah well.

 

Z is for Zero-sin

It is the way we each begin,

Free from wordly sin

So, don't let yourself forget,

Keep out of the devil's threat!

[Guest Babylonian Dream]

Poem itself seems well done, but I don't think anyone here will become muslim from it.

 

Just saying

[bdp]

Y is for * Y A W N *

[par4dcourse]

Allahtard just doesn't have the same ring.

[Ouroboros]

Sorry Eemaan, it ain't a Rumi.

It makes it all a bit gloomy.

Still, you can stay here, it is roomy,

Even though you might be a Sunni.

[Guest Babylonian Dream]

Ouroboros is a poet,

and he know it

Just saying

It reminds me of a poem by Christopher Smart that was put to music by Benjamin Britten in Rejoice in the Lamb. (Atheist version, Rejoice in the Lame)

 

There was one verse in particular:

 

For H is a spirit

And therefore he is God.

For K is king

And therefore he is God.

For L is love

And therefore he is God.

For M is musick

And therefore he is God.

And therefore he is God.

 

Christopher Smart was, unfortunately, insane. He mentions this in his poem:

 

For I am under the same accusation

With my Savior,

For they said,

He is besides himself.

Interesting. Somehow, the connection between Islam and insanity seems a little too easy to make without the poem.

[Guest Valk0010]

Seeing as we are waxing poetic about religion here is my take on religious poetry

 

 

 

 

We walk around everyday thinking that we are true, never seeing the closeminded ways we always preach.

 

It becomes are way, fear of are world changing. It keeps us secure. We are insecure.

 

The thoughts, the religions, the philosophy, all attempt to comprehend the unknown.

 

Crying about drifting, in the nothingness, we scream at our own shadow, failing to comprehend are faults.

 

It is insane, you know, the monotony of uncertainty. New info and all Why are you scared.

 

Because its are soul, what if true. We are the bad ones then, not caving. to the unalterable dictator, striving for our retardation and closeminded agony.

 

We are small,frightful creatures, looking for warmth where there is none to be found.

 

Who are you god, do you like us. Why the shotty plan. That we can't understand. You give us logic, yet you give us mystery.

 

Fuck you mystery, give us a clue, we have cried enough, show yourself. If you want our devotion.

 

I am tired of melody, give me rage. Give me answers, enough with the spiritual blackness.

 

What is the meaning of life dear sir, to be a slave.

 

When you look at shit long enough, does it start to look good.

 

You want us to have free will then you make us slaves.

 

Join me or burn, how can we choose, where is the choice, to be devoted?

 

You give us hell, to force us to be yours, you might as well, just make us drones.

 

Screw You.

 

Fuck You.

 

DIE.
