SISTERS AROUND THE WORLD

I was driving down my streets what did I see?<o:p></o:p>

A poor girl walking down the road,<o:p></o:p>

I had so many questions going round and round, <o:p></o:p>

No obvious answers were to be found,<o:p></o:p>

I asked her so many questions to find out something, <o:p></o:p>

Instead she was saying nothing,<o:p></o:p>

I asked her itâ€™s gone 11pm where are you going or doing?<o:p></o:p>

She said Wow itâ€™s gone 11pm and I have nothing.<o:p></o:p>

I said you have a lot more than many girls around you and the world today,<o:p></o:p>

She said I have nothing and will have nothing,<o:p></o:p>

I then said how long have you been around here,<o:p></o:p>

Because I have never seen you around here,<o:p></o:p>

She replied over a year or coming too two years but what do you care,<o:p></o:p>

After a few minutes she stepped into my car and said please could you take me somewhere far!!<o:p></o:p>

I have no Mother Brother Father or Sister they all died in a car.<o:p></o:p>

I had tears in my eyes, she noticed them and said please donâ€™t cry,<o:p></o:p>

I am just a young girl who wants to die,<o:p></o:p>

So many men passed me but did not stop to ask me,<o:p></o:p>

They didnâ€™t even seem to care, they were all in their own little worlds neither here or there!!!<o:p></o:p>

The girl said I am so sorry to be rude but tell you the truth,<o:p></o:p>

You are the only one who seems to care,<o:p></o:p>

She then said why are you so concerned about me,<o:p></o:p>

Havenâ€™t you got anything better to do instead of talking to me,<o:p></o:p>

Our love for each other will truly show,<o:p></o:p>

Then all who see will surely know <o:p></o:p>

Muslims care not about race or colour,<o:p></o:p>

No matter what their race or colour is,<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Our Master Muhammad was a universal man,<o:p></o:p>

And any form of racism he could not stand.<o:p></o:p>

Allah is not black, nor is He white,<o:p></o:p>

And all humanity is one in His sight.<o:p></o:p>

She then said I am a Muslim too,<o:p></o:p>

I am so happy I have found someone like you,<o:p></o:p>

But where are the rest of the Muslim brothers and sisters, why didnâ€™t they come to help me too,<o:p></o:p>

She then said I am only after two things money and love,<o:p></o:p>

Because my family died when I was very young I was at a friends house when they all died in a carâ€¦<o:p></o:p>

I said Sister I would like you to take a short cut, You have my LOVE, <o:p></o:p>

I will never ever take you far because you have landed somewhere pointing at my heart I said here,<o:p></o:p>

She had tears in her eyes I noticed them and said,<o:p></o:p>

I promise you I will never leave you and donâ€™t be afraid,<o:p></o:p>

She said Bhaijaan, can you open your arms and give me a hug, that most important thing I need,<o:p></o:p>

I said is that it my sweet sister you only need a hug, I opened my arms for my sister she came into me as if I was a quilt for thee.<o:p></o:p>

She gave me a hug which was incredibly tight,<o:p></o:p>

She gave me a fright, that I thought she was in a fight,<o:p></o:p>

HUMANITY FIRST should be in every ones hearts and souls,<o:p></o:p>

No matter what the race, colour or gender is,<o:p></o:p>

This young sister was one of millions around the world,<o:p></o:p>

Who are Lonely Oppressed Voices Everywhere, she just need a little bit of LOVE in her LIFE!!<o:p></o:p>

Loving Individuals For Eternity is part of LIFE,<o:p></o:p>

LOVE FOR ALL HATRED FOR NONE<o:p></o:p>

Now my sister is the most respected person in my town,<o:p></o:p>

She will always remain in my heart till the day I go down!!<o:p></o:p>

You might be thinking downâ€¦down meaning grave but spiritually I will be in the heavensâ€¦

You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I'm going
You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much unknown
Along the way
And just when I
I thought I'd lost my way
You gave me strength to carry on
That's when I heard you say
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow
And despair
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
When I'm weary
Well I know you'll be there
Cause I can feel you
When you say
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sadness and despair
Oh, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
<o:p></o:p>

When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I'll carry you
When you need a friend
I promise you
I'm always there
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints
In the sandâ€¦

Uteh haat apne leye to pir bee mere leye hee dua kareh, koi aisa shaks hua kareh,

POEM 2

UNIVERSAL COLOUR

African, Asian, Arabian and European,
We all are one and must follow the same deen.
There have been prophets who spoke to one race,
Before Prophet Muhammad perfected the pace.
That straight forward pace was denied to them all,
Then the acme of creation was given the call.
He was of Arab descent but what did he care,
His job was to unite men everywhere.
Our Master Muhammad was a universal man,
And any form of racism he could not stand.
There are many people influenced by race,
Yet Muslims follow Muhammadâ€™s pace.
Muslims care not about race or colour,
Their care is for Allah and, of course, each other.
Allah is not black, nor is He white,
And all humanity is one in His sight.
Allah will shun those who feel superior,
And also those who feel inferior.
Superiorities and inferiorities concerning race,
Will cause you never to see Godâ€™s face.
Some blacks may boast about how great they are,
And whites may say we are best by far.
Arabs may say we are the race of Muhammad,
And Persians may say our race is as Ahmad.
Yet a Muslim will say I am only a man,
And to Allah and Muhammad I have given my hand.
Itâ€™s natural to recognize nationality,
Yet it should never exceed Allahâ€™s reality.
Islam is oneness of God and oneness of man,
Letâ€™s strive to be righteous if we can.
If by chance we must compete,
Roses have many colours yet they all smell sweet.
The light they receive through Allahâ€™s sun,
Is a beautiful colour unequal to one.
Not because he was black or because he was white,
But because he obeyed his Master day and night.
Which will make us love one another,
And give us that universal colour.
Our love for each other will truly show,
Then all who see will surely know.
Not that we are black or that we are white,
But our true colour is Allahâ€™s light.

POEM 3

LOVE FOR ALL HATRED FOR NONE

I was walking down the street, what did I see?
A poor little child crying looking at me,
I had so many questions going round and round,
No obvious answers were to be found,
I asked these questions to find out anything,
Instead he gave me these following answers,
I asked the child are you a boy or girl,
The child answered what if I am a girl will you get me a pearl,
If I am a boy will you get me a toy,
How long have you been here?
Over a week what do you care,
After taking a deep breath the child said I am a boy,
My mum is no longer alive my dad is a junkie well I donâ€™t care,
I had tears in my eyes, he noticed it he goes donâ€™t cry,
I am a young boy who just wants to die,
So many people walked passed me and did not stop to ask me,
They did not even seem to care; they were all in their own little world neither here or there!!!
The boy said I am sorry for being so rude but tell you the truth,
You are the only one who seems to care,
He then said why are you so concerned about me,
Havenâ€™t you got anything better to do instead of talking to me,
Our love for each other will truly show,
Then all who see will surely know
Muslims care not about race or colour,
No matter what their race or colour is,
Our Master Muhammad was a universal man,
And any form of racism he could not stand.
Allah is not black, nor is He white,
And all humanity is one in His sight.
He then said I am a Muslim too,
I am so happy I have found you but where are the rest of the Muslims why didnâ€™t they come to help me.
He then said I am not after money or toys I am only after one thing, LOVE because my mother and father didnâ€™t give it to me,
Can you open your arms for me, there is nothing more than a hug I need,
I opened my arms for the young boy he ran into me as if I was a quilt for thee,
He gave me a bear hug that was unbelievably tight,
He gave me such a fright, that I thought he was in a fight,
HUMANITY FIRST should be in every ones hearts and souls,
No matter what their race or colour is,
This young boy was one of many, Lonely Oppressed Voices Everywhere, he just needed a little LOVE in his LIFE.
Loving Individuals For Eternity is part of LIFE,
LOVE FOR ALL HATRED FOR NONE.

Now he is a happy young boy who will always be in my heart today and always till the day I die inshallah.

POEM 4

THE TWO BOOKS....

They lie on the table side by side
The Holy Quran and the T.V. Guide.
One is well worn and cherished with pride.
Not the Quran, but the T.V. Guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide.
No, not the Quran, but the T.V. Guide.
As the pages are turned, what shall they see.
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the T.V.
So they open the book in which they confide.
No, not the Quran, but the T.V. Guide.
The Word of Allah is seldom read.
Maybe a verse before they fall into bed.
Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be.
Not from reading the Quran, from watching T.V.
So then back to the table side by side,
Lie the Holy Quran and the T.V. Guide.
No time for prayer, no time for the Word,
The plan of Istiqama is seldom heard.
But forgiveness of sin, so full and free,
Is found in the Quran, not on T.V.
